I didn't say "just an actor" @SilverStromm. I said "an actor." Which is what he was. I remember going into hysterics at a routine Williams did as a guest on a talk show and at times during Mork & Mindy, and he was a revelation in Good Morning, Vietnam. His death certainly merited a screen banner and perhaps a brief cutaway between shows. Breaking into programming should, imo, be saved for things like 9/11, Bin Laden's death, the Pope being shot, and so on.
