Hard to believe that Jack Soo would be over 100 if he were around today. Hal Linden, Max Gail, Barbara Barrie, and Gregory Sierra are the ones who were on that show and are still around, with Jack (1979), Ron Glass (2016), Abe Vigoda (2016), James Gregory (2002), Steve Landesberg (2010), and Ron Carey (2007) have since passed. Hal Linden was first offered the role of Dr. Donald Westphall on “St Elsewhere”, but he turned it down to take a break after finishing Barney Miller so the role went to Ed Flanders (RIP).

I’ve been watching episodes of the Dick Van Dyke show on You Tube lately and your comment makes me think of ones like Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie and Richard Deacon (in addition to Dick and Mary) and the scenes with any or all of those three are still side splitting funny even after more than 50 years. I was too young to have watched Dick Van Dyke first run but it was one of my favourites when it cropped up in my locale for afternoon reruns back in the early 1980s.

She had beautiful gypsie, or Georgian dark haired beauty, and a great sense of humor and timing. 80 is not a bad run. May God welcome her home and remind her of the smiles she induced. “Remember that time when...?”

RIP. She was funny and pretty. Wasn’t her sister Marge Simpson?

Yes, and as per my earlier post, Julie Kavner is now the last surviving main cast member of “Rhoda” since Valerie’s passing.

Hard to believe the Mary Tyler Moore show is about to turn 50.

Even Keith Richards is getting concerned over what kind of world we will be leaving to Betty White.

In what other series did Carl Reiner appear (just once) as Alan Brady?

Remember how that line cracked Mary up at Crusty the Clown’s funeral?

She played a VERY convincing New York Jewess.

Loved her New York accent in Mary Tyler Moore

1970’s television was fun. The days of clean non vulgar entertainment. I was a 14 year old kid in 1970. A different time and place. An America that vanished. Rip Valerie Harper.
