His body of work was for a more tolerant nation - it would never fly today.

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the JUDGEMENT:”

This “Judgement” won’t care about his writing skills, Humor, Hollywood fame, or politics”.

To me, he'll always be just the guy that spawned The Meathead. It shows how one slip up or misjudgement can ruin your whole legacy.

The thing that always struck me about Carl Reiner is that he carried himself as if everyone adored Carl Riner and that the rest of us considered him a national treasure.

And that would be a huge overstatement.

Dick Van Dyke is one of my all time favourite shows, even though I first watched it as a twelve year old kid in the early 1980s.

Also liked the movies “All of Me” and “Summer Rental”.

Yes, indeed. It’s not easy forgive evil. But Reiner was, of course, not an evil person. He just held some very wrong ideas. For me anyway, that’s easy to forgive.

And through his film work he brought joy to many, many people. RIP Mr. Reiner.

Sorry he was a pro abortion Democrat who did much to destroy the culture of America while becoming incredibly wealthy in the process.

Big fan.

Speaking to the issue of Carl and his son and their disgusting political views, I’ve had this argument with one of my 2 conservative friends. If I only watched movies and comedy as acted by conservatives, I would not find anything to watch. His like do make it hard, however.

Come to think of it, zero TV - might be a good plan.

Dear God,

I think you made a mistake and took the wrong Reiner?
