New decade*, new space to talk about what's not bugging you. I'll start! No matter how many times the Badgers have been in the Rose Bowl (a phrase I never would have imagined using while I was a UW student in the 1980s), it's always a thrill to see the Badger band march in the Rose Parade. *For those of you who recognize 1/1/2021 as the start of the new decade...it's okay. I'm making the change because two digits changed in the year, not just one.

I'm marveling that this thread is nearly five years old! -
Me imagining Yelich as a Cardinal:

I looked at her Twitter feed after learning of her death and the last tweet before the announcement of her death was only a few hours older than the announcement tweet. It's also how I learned about the documentary: http://www.rosemariemovie.com/. Now I'm interested in seeing it.

MTM's Laura Petrie character is said to be my namesake.

Zsa Zsa Gabor died on Sunday. She'd had so many health crises in recent years that my first thought was surprise that she hadn't passed previously. In case you're not keeping close track of the Gabor sisters, Zsa Zsa was best known for being married a jillion times and being a guest star everywhere. Her sister Eva was the "GOODBYE CITY LIFE" voice of Green Acres. The third Gabor sister was Magda. http://abcnews.go.com/images/Entertainment/ap_zsa_zsa_gabor_soap_opera_jef_ss_130322_ssh.jpg

Man, this year. Though I suppose as baby boomers start to approach "tv treasure" status, we should expect more such losses for a while.

It's not the best year for Patty Duke Show cast members. William Schallert, who had about a zillion TV and film credits (with one of the longer lasting ones being Patty Duke's dad on the aforementioned show), has died at 93.

James Noble died Monday. And now Patty Duke, today. Link

Does anyone else feel like the pace of this thread is accelerating lately? Anyway, the most recent "TV treasure" loss is Earl Hamner, Jr., who created The Waltons and Falcon Crest. He narrated the beginning and end of every Waltons episode, and the John-Boy main character was based on his life.

Man. I haven't heard that theme in AGES.
-
Aw, man, I remember when Ben Sheets' kids were born.

More of a film treasure, but her movies are shown on TV: Maureen O'Hara dies at 95 This probably isn't how most of her fans remember her, but I associate her with the 1961 The Parent Trap.
-
When I look at clips from The Gong Show nowadays, I wonder if anyone was ever sober on that set. I mean, like ever.
-
On Friday (2/28), character actor Gavin MacLeod turned 83. You might remember him from such classic TV roles as Murray Slaughter on the Mary Tyler Moore Show, or as Captain Merrill Stubing on The Love Boat.

As a self-professed huge nerd for The Waltons, I find this awfully sad - though I admit I hadn't realized Ralph Waite was 85.

More of a movie treasure than a TV treasure, but Shirley Temple has moved from the "still with us" to the "no longer with us" overnight: Link Even if you never caught her movies (and her heyday predates just about everyone here, I suspect), you've probably seen the TV commercials for the DVD collection of her movies. I had to stop watching the commercials after seeing one scene which was mostly but not completely colorized. The colorizers forgot her teeth, so when she broke out into a big grin, her teeth looked hideously gray in comparison to the rest of her colorized face. Yeah, sadly, that's my Shirley Temple memory.

Aww, we have to amend this statement too. Richard Bull, TV's Mr. Oleson, dies Recently I was watching a very early episode of Little House on the Prairie, and marveled over how, um, witchy they made both Nellie and Mrs. Oleson. I don't know how Mr. Oleson (the character) endured living on the prairie with them and Willie.

If you enjoy this thread and use Twitter, you might also enjoy following @TVGuideArchives. Someone (not from TV Guide) posts images from old issues of TV Guide.

I wonder if Betty White will opt to be buried near Allen Ludden. That'd put Mineral Point on the map for a new (if not 100% welcome) reason.
-
I'd have guessed for sure Cloris Leachman was in her 90s, but that shows what I know. I was mildly surprised by the omission of Mary Tyler Moore, but Wikipedia shows me she's but a spring chicken at 76. Family legend says that my parents only had a boy's name ready for me; when I turned out to be not a boy they had to scramble, and my dad named me for MTM's Laura Petrie character from the Dick Van Dyke Show.

A short while, right? (Disclosure: I thought Glendon Rusch was good when he first joined the Brewers.)

I didn't see your original post, but you probably want to aim more for being assertive in the workplace (not aggressive).
