Talk about a genius. There are a handful of giants in TV history. Aaron Spelling arguably leads the pack.

Yeah, she's a real looker, all right, if you like Jay Leno-sized chins and flounder eyes.

Having done his part in destroying the moral fiber of America, he can now rest easy in Hell. Nothing but subversive T&A claptrap ever came from his work, but as a previous poster put it, "he sold a lot of what people were buying". Good riddance.
Let he who is without sin...

You'd be surprised how large the Jewish student body is at SMU.

That is so airbrushed, it's not even funny.

If all he had done were the Fugitive, Quinn Martin would have been a success.
Great TV Producer.

Chin? Eyes?
Oh yeah, now that you mention she does have some.
Somehow I doubt if her breasts are real and spectacular.

If my kid looked like that, I wouldn't give her a job where 40 million people had to look at her, no.

None of us is saying anything about Aaron's looks.
Tori, still being with us, can come over here and defend herself if she likes.

So sorry for his family. Without Daddy's influence and protection, his fairly young adult kids will have to finally grow up real fast.

"We're stuck, the car door only opens two inches". "Quick Tori, get out".
Loni Anderson is too funny. I liked the eppy wherein Tori mentors an 'at-risk' young person.

Aaron Spelling was a successful man...and a Republican...
I do hope Tori made up with her Dad after his stroke and before he passed away...the following is from an article published shortly after his stroke...so she had time to make amends...hope she did...
"......He later made daughter Tori Spelling a household name by casting her in the 90s smash hit, 'Beverly Hills 90210'."
However, her parents have stopped talking to her.
Spelling and his wife Candy have fallen out with her after she mocked their "eBay room" - a room in their home dedicated to the internet auction site.
A friend of the 32-year-old actress revealed: "There was a scene in the first episode of her new show, 'So noTORIous,' in which she makes fun of it.
"When Candy saw the episode, she threatened Tori and said she was going to sue her."

I always confused him with Norman Fell

Someone up thread was wondering who would be the third to pass, after Spelling and Hunt...I just heard...Patsy Ramsey died...so that makes three celebrities...
Does anyone know how the death of Hunt will affect Anna Nicole Smith's lawsuit?
