    Yeah, I merged our threads, we started at about the same time.
    Locked another, deleted another one where someone was trying to be funny.

    Don't do that. Don't have time or energy for that bullshit today.

    Outlived by Ed Asner, who looked 80 on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

    I was the guy trying to be funny. Sorry about that. More of a commentary of the three threads appearing at once. Carry on ... RIP Mary.

    Asner was just on one of the CSI shows the other night. Holding up damn good for a big chunky guy in his mid 80s.

    MTM had health struggles but lived a long and very productive life. Absolutely an icon for my whole generation (late boomers / Gen X/ Gen Jones)

    And it certainly must also be mentioned: Dick Van Dyke survives.

    I realize you meant no harm - but you know what would have happened. We would have ended up with 10 of those things, each one less funny than the last. I figured 3 or 4 would pop up right away, that always happens with a big-name death.
    Carry on

    The Mary Tyler Moore Show is on MeTV Sunday nights and underrated as hell. I'm guessing this will result in a marathon one day this week.

    Yeah, the whole front page would have been variations on "Mary Tyler Moore, Dead, Still Dead, Deader Than Dead," etc etc etc etc.

    The MTM Show has benefited from drifting out of heavy teevee rotation for a while. A lot of the old shows get monotonous if they're on all the time.

    Then they seem fresh when you see them again.
