Belated RIP to Robert Clary, best known as Corporal LeBeau on Hogan's Heroes. Didn't know his tragic past, including being in a concentration camp during WWII: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Clary

Wow. That's one strong guy, to be able to be in a TV show that's based in a German concentration camp after surviving a real one.

The French didn't mind turning their Jewish citizens over to the Nazis or even turning their own cities over. Laughter is a good medicine, even when the condition is terminal.

www.cnn.com/2022/11/29/entertainment/clarence-gilyard-jr-die-hard-dead-intl-scli/index.htmlClarence Gilyard, the actor best known for playing computer hacker Theo in “Die Hard” and naval flight officer Marcus “Sundown” Williams in “Top Gun,” has died at the age of 66.
His death was announced on Monday in a statement from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), where he had been working as an associate professor at the College of Fine Arts.I loved his character in Walker, Texas Ranger.

What a wonderful tribute, especially including many obscure names I only remembered the faces. Thank you for posting that, I haven't caught it on TCM yet.

Sure was a nice tribute to the great Franco Harris last night during the Steelers game.
And the fact that we won in the last minute was very fitting. His immaculate reception also occurred in the last few seconds.

RIP Barbara. You've left a big hole that will be hard to fill. And you opened up serious broadcasting to a lot of women following in your footsteps.

I'm sorry that Pope Benedict died but I won't miss him. He didn't do much to stop the widespread sexual abuse in the Catholic Church as he went up the power ladder.

RIP Barbara Walters. Yes, I know she had a long and illustrious and important career. But, they broke into a very absorbing Dateline to announce this "Special Breaking News!" My heart sank and my blood pressure spiked as I am of the generation that has seen key political assassinations with that. Really, it couldn't have waited another 1/2 hour for us to learn on the Nightly News that Barbara had died naturally at the age of 93? They not only announced it but also had to play the 8 minute obituary tape they had in the can that they played again on the soon to be aired 11:00 news. I'm too old for this. I fear that if something happens to Kim Kardashian air raid sirens will go off.

Yes, let's save that notification for events like wars breaking out, domestic tragedies like 9/11, and other world affecting events.

They could have easily run a scrolling banner at the bottom of the screen announcing her death and stay tuned to upcoming nightly news for more details.

Everything on the news today seems to be more dire. The weather for example...any snow over 1" or so is now deemed a "Snow Storm!!!!!"
