    Tony Dow has passed. He was Wally Cleaver, older brother to the Beav' on Leave It To Beaver. Man, it just seems like the classics are all on the way out the door...

    Saddened about Tony Dow. I never tire of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER. Oddly I enjoy those episodes even more as an adult than I did as a kid.
    Here's some great shot's.

    Apparently it was a premature announcement and he's in hospice care.

    Sounds like the Tanya Roberts situation of January 2021 all over again.

    Forgot about Tom Petty. I liked his music. Was his death announced too early too?

    Ah, I see. The same as Tanya Roberts then. I either missed that at the time or had forgotten about it.

    :( I recently watched an epidose of ADAM 12 he appeared in. He looked just like Wally only with a different haircut. Did a lot of other television work, MIKE HAMMER, KNIGHT RIDER, etc.
    RIP.

    Bernard Cribbins is a true legend I first saw him in Doctor Who along side Peter Cushing and CR 67. Great actor and a genuine national treasure, Bernard is appearing in the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary I am sure there will be a special tribute to him. Sad loss though he had a long life. R. I. P.

    Aw, that is so sad to hear! Bernard Cribbins R.I.P.
    He had a long career, could turn up in lots of British movies. Only recently watched him in 'Two Way Stretch' with the great Peter Sellers, and I loved him in 'The Railway Children', but I will always associate him with being the narrator of The Wombles! Wombling free indeed!

    This doesn't seem to end. My little buddy, EARL BABA passed away in my arms this morning.
    He was 14. My late girlfriend had shipped him from Scotland to the US so he could be with us. He was my best friend for 8 years.
    I always said that being from Sean Connery's homeland he had abetter chance of being cast as Bond than me. He was amazing. I love you, little buddy.

    I'm so sorry to hear that, @ToTheRight. Losing a pet is awful, especially when they feel like they're part of the family. He looked like a handsome gentleman.

    Every cat and dog I've had has felt like family to me. More so, in some cases because I'm a misanthropic old get and I much prefer animals to humans. They've all died in my arms too and the loss is damned hard, man. Sorry to hear this, ToTheRight.

    @ToTheRight, truly sorry to read that you've had such an awful last few days. Earl Baba was a real cute fellow, tall, dark and handsome, Bond himself reincarnated as a cat. I raise a glass in his memory.

    Thanks, guys. I remember the first night I had him he snuck around my aprtment. I thought "sneaky Bond". He moved great. Even in the end. Many sentimental memories of him.
    Thanks again. I'm feeling a little better.

    I'm sorry for the loss of your cat, @ToTheRight. I've had similar feelings every umpteen years or so for the last forty years. But except for an attempt at kicking the habit from 1997 to 2002, me and my wife had cats ever since we were together. The last time we had to let go because our cats were irretrievably sick, we lived all but five days without felines. And then we went to the closest shelter and got two new lovely ones. Which - as all cats before them - immediately became our latest favorite pets - no harm intended for the previous contenders. Cheer up, there's one (or maybe two) felines somewhere close just dying to be with you. Don't let it bring you down. Cats just have a shorter life span than humans (though on the average longer than dogs), and 14 years is quite a spell. One has to face it.

    Thanks, @j_w_pepper. I do have 2 felines left. My dearly departed girlfriend enjoyed adopting rescued ferals that had disabilities. Ones that no one else took int theor homes.
    Both of these cats have only one eye that functions properly. SKYE had an injury- perhaps someone had slammed a door into her face paralyzing her left side- and Squeaky has her left eye clouded up. If she had been a male cat I'd have suggested Le Chiffre for a name (and have probably been vetoed). They both seem baffled as to Earl's absense. They're adorable.

    I'm so sorry to hear that @ToTheRight, Rainbow Bridge has earned another four-legged angel. :( What was it someone once said, the kindest souls live the shortest lives.

    My doggo passed away last year, and though I have since gotten another doggo (which I didn't intend on doing), I still miss him.

    I'm at a loss for words, @ToTheRight. You are going through some rough times. Just hang in there, mate. Even the darkest of times come to an end, I promise. In any case, you deserve hapiness. And that comes from the heart of my wife and myself.
