Oh my...

Don Knotts, The Incredible Mr. Limpet, passed away on friday. Today, it was Kolchak, Darren McGavin. *sigh* People come, people go..

Don was one of my favorites, and Mr. Limpet was one of my favorite shows ever, ever ever.

Darren was a guy I think was greatly under-rated.. His Kolchak was in the Night Stalker, was one fo my favorite shows because it showed a guy who was every curious, and wasn't afraid to show his cowardly side, specially when leaving was the better part of valor.

yep.. I'll miss them.

I heard about Don Knotts but I hadn't heard about Darren McGavin.. I watched old episodes of Kolchak just a couple of months ago. Yep.. I'll miss them too.

How sad! Another bit of our history slipping away....

I loved the Night Stalker show too. It was just the right amount of scary for me as a young teen.

y'know, I've heard about Don Knotts about 3 times, but this is the only mention so far of Darren McGavin... I liked him too. But my favorite is the father in Christmas story. :)

Seemed to be the one he was most remembered for. I still go for Kolchak, though.
