I’m sorry to hear about Mary Higgins Clark, although at her age her death is hardly surprising. I had the opportunity many years ago to meet and chat with her privately for an hour or so. She was both gracious and down to earth, sharing how she got into writing full-time after her husband died fairly young and she was left with five kids to raise.
I didn’t even know that she was that old.

Why not? Different articles at times can bring different perspectives and/or information on a person.
And I don’t see anything wrong with that at all.

Do we really need to post multiple articles about the same person?

You're very welcome. I'm sorry you can't. I know one of the things I wanted to have when I moved was TCM and MEtv. I love Mannix and Time Tunnel. I get MEtv through an antenna.
It’s okay.

I have hulu live for about $55. with these channels. I'm able to record up to 50 hours. I had FIOS but when I moved I couldn't take my dvr with me so I discontinued FIOS and this works well for me. I don't know if you would be able to use it. https://www.streamingobserver.com/hulu-channels-list/
Sadly I can’t. Thank you though.

Happy Birthday to the late John Dye, and he would’ve been 57 years old today.

I'm really enjoying the UK version of the show so far, but would really like to see the clue videos being posted on the YouTube channel.

I know, but they were planning to make more, but Raymond Burr passed away. And I know the history and about Underwoood's short-lived show. Thank you.
I'm reading about the Ironside TV reunion movie right now as a matter of fact.

I think he may have been involved with the Ironside movies too.

3 hours ago, UYI said:Fred Silverman was responsible for moving All in the Family to Saturday night as at 8 on CBS in its second season, which kept it at number one for five years, and anchored the entire night's lineup: the other shows on that night were M*A*S*H, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, and The Carol Burnett Show. He then brought ABC to number one for the first time in history, greenlighting shows like Charlie's Angels and Three's Company during his presidency there.
...And then he nearly brought NBC to the point of collapse in the late 70's as the Peacock Network's president, especially when the United States' boycott of the summer Olympics in 1980 meant a HUGE financial loss for the network, as THEY were the ones set to air the Games. He did bring Diff'rent Strokes and The Facts of Life there, though.
In short, he was, and is, a TOWERING figure in television broadcasting. RIP.
3 hours ago, Bastet said:Wow. I knew a bit about him, but reading that Hollywood Reporter obituary was eye-opening for the tremendous impact he had on television. He's the reason CBS shifted from the Beverly Hillbillies/Petticoat Junction style of programming to things like M*A*S*H and Norman Lear comedies:
That alone would make him a major figure on TV history, but that's just one example. And he had the mind for it early on:
He died of cancer according to his spokeswoman.

Okay folks, it may be time for a little reminder about this thread.
1 - This thread is for dead celebrities. It is not for not-dead celebrities or dead not-celebrities.
2 - A "celebrity," for the sake of this thread, is someone in the entertainment/pop culture world who has enough notoriety that most people would know who they are.
3 - While it is fine to post links announcing someone's death, subsequent links regarding news around that death need to be moved to a more appropriate thread.
We understand that there is some gray area around points 2 and 3, but we will be removing posts that clearly do not meet this criteria.
Thank you for that reminder.
