Wilder was in his 80s, and had Alzheimer's. So, sad, but not unexpected. Blazing Saddles was a family favorite. Wilder's delivery and timing were flawless.
RIP, Wilder.

I still like Young Frankenstein, best. He and Madeline Kahn made such a great comedic team.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Afraid I've been expecting Wilder to go for quite a while now. May he and Gilda have had a fond reunion.

Because books.
Oh, man. Gene Wilder. Also what Matt said.

Man nothing says "no plans to socialize tonight" like having a can of tuna and a box of garlic chive crackers for an afternoon snack.

From a week ago: there is post-war Foyle's War available on acorn.tv, just in case that is not known. Series 8 and 9 I think?
