They tried this season, and it flopped...it really flopped. McGavin will be missed, along with Knotts. (sigh--guess I'm getting really, really old...)

He did such a great job in "A Christmas Story," one of my favorite movies.

I thought I just read something about H-wood planning a movie remake of the Night Stalker.

Darren McGavin (1922 - 2006)
Actor, director, producer
Born: May 7, 1922, Spokane, WA
Education: College of the Pacific

A product of the Actors Studio, he did much stage and TV ("Mike Hammer," "The Outsider," "The Night Stalker") work but has appeared only intermittently in films, most effectively as a ruthless hero or a villain, memorably as the smooth pusher in Preminger's The Man With the Golden Arm (1955). In 1973 he directed (and produced) a first film, Happy Mother's Day, Love George (1973).

Today*s double loss reminds me of what pygmies there are providing "entertainment" these days.

Exactly! I was just thinking the same thing. They will be remembered for their plastic bodies, the criminal activity that catapulted them to super stardom or their anti American politics!

I remember watching that the night it aired. My Pa hated it

But we all really liked Darren McGavin.

RIP Darren Mcgavin, you were truly one of the great actors. Night Stalker is a classic.
