    I really liked that show. Too bad they canceled it pretty quickly.

    God, you just never know what's going to be, or when.

    RIP, Luke.

    Chef, while I completely get the sentiment, that probably wasn't the best time to post it.

    This sucks. Dude was like James Dean there for a while. He seemed like a genuinely good dude, too. Apparently even his ex-wife thought so because she was among those with him when he passed. RIP

    That's a pretty good comparison.

    In the mid 90s Letterman had a guest on (can’t remember who) and they were talking about a celebrity (can’t remember who). The first referred to this person as the most popular person in America. Letterman came back with “I don’t know, what about that Luke Perry?”

    He was being only half facetious and while I laughed, I thought “yeah, he’s right up there.”

    Sure is. Very sad news. Way too young to go.

    And one of the last of his kind. Network TV isn't popular enough anymore to create teen idols that an entire generation would know. Today's are more likely on YouTube.
