LOS ANGELES (AP) A publicist for Aaron Spelling says the pioneering television producer has died at age 83.

That guy had a lot of money and a really big house.

Yep, and he still had to meet his maker, sans his estate, fame and money!

Tory will be next in line, unless he had a different position on the inheritance issue!

Hmm, I didn't know until I looked @ his IMDB page. He was involved in the very short lived show called "All Souls" which stared my favorite actress. Wish I could find a copy of it.

I'm telling you, Microsoft has laid some eggs in the past (MSN, Messenger, Windows ME). But Live.com is going to present a big challenge to Google.

Was that SWAT?

There was a hell of a lot of post production work on that photo.

If a person seems to be a good person (not shallow, not liberal, not mean), we don't pick on their looks no matter how bad they look.

If a person seems to be a not-so-good person, we pick on their looks AND on their other failings.

Beauty's from the inside; but ugly can spill over too.

He produced both good stuff and schlock but he always entertained people.

I'm proud to say I never watched a Spelling production once I got more then four channels.

Oh and let me ammend my previous post r.e. Tori to include: 'Best photoshopping/airbrushing'. (In case anybody noticed the wide difference in pictures of her.)

Yep. Taken off the air by ABC after parents complained of its violence.

Tennessee Bound. That was his first major screen credit.

Goodness, with all those hit shows I just realized I only liked one of them, (Twin Peaks) and that one for maybe the first 10 episodes.

I too have heard he was a nice guy.

I thought the Spellings were Jewish too, but he went to SMU.

Don't they let Jews into SMU?

SWAT. Great show for the time. I remember when they had the spin off episode of the Rookies to launch it.

You never knew who the SWAT van driver was. LOL

[DejaJude]

Rest in peace Mr. Spelling, and thanks for the memories.

[headstamp]

Yes, people thought they were married in real life.

I remember him on one of the first Gunsmokes'.......a young wanderer who get's lynched. He came a long way from that tree.........RIP Mr. Spelling.

"I understand he had something else that was really big too...'

Yeh..an ego.
