I actually watched this three days ago. Quite touching.

Thanx for that memory. I saw that episode. It was one of the highlights of an outstanding series.

Homicide: Life On The Streets was IMO probably one the best dramas ever on TV and certainly one of the best “cop” shows in as far as how it portrayed the characters and the realities being homicide detectives in a big city. Of course being from Baltimore and living and working close to areas where the show was filmed helped but the writing and acting on that show was outstanding, especially Andre Braugher, but the entire cast was great.

I saw Winters in a drama. I want to say Twilight Zone or some such. He did a great job.

It seems that many great comedic actors are also great dramatic actors. As it has been said, “There's a fine line between comedy and tragedy

Thank you for so much laughter Robin.
May God rest your immortal soul sir, and bring comfort to your family.

But the movies never seemed to live up to his potential or so it seemed to me. What I enjoyed from Robin though was his unscripted comedy performances. He was a king of spontaneous improv like Jonathan Winters.

Yes, I never saw him in a movie that quite lived up to his unspoken potential as an actor. But his improv was brilliant. He had a mind like a fireworks pinwheel! Amazing to watch him riff . . . on just about anything. RIP, Robin. This really is a loss. So sad.

Get a copy of Dr. Julian Whitaker’s February 2013 newsletter.

Its a real bombshell on these drugs.

I stopped watching him when he spewed vulgar obscenities to a child and laughed about expanding the kid’s vocabulary.

My nonfictional husband had a nonfictional stroke. He has been taking nonfictional Prozac ever since. It has helped him.

Hardly a reputable source to rely on. The man is not well respected with in the medical field. But I am glad you mentioned him as a source, it literally tells me all I need to know. Be blessed.

There are many things that will help him more, like primarily Hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

After a stroke, the brain needs to rebuild, and only HBOT will promote that.

Only the quacks lack respect for Whitaker, and that because he exposes them.

He is known for profuse results in healing.

“Cowards way out.”

Yeah. That’s just what all the depressed people want to hear on top of everything else.

Really? Or are they mood elevating. Huge difference, but then again a troll probably wouldn’t know.
