"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sorry, but it was, "Let's be careful out there".

Oooh, that's right.

We watched this religiously at the time. Esterhaus's death was a real, huge shock, second only to Henry Blake's in M*A*S*H. The difference here being that it was actually the actor who died.

I was also a Hill Street fan, so I remember it as well.

I don't watch Grey's!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And, of course, Eight is Enough which was supposed to be about a big happy stable family and then Diana Hyland died, recasting her was deemed evil, and they made him a single dad with a girlfriend.

Oh yeah, with bonus John Travolta tragedy in that mix.

I know I'm late to the game, but I wanna play anyway. I third Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street. Rizzoli & Isles' Detective Frost dying in a car accident offscreen because the actor (Lee Thompson Young) had committed suicide hit me hard at the time.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Something ate all the cherry tomatoes on our plant, ripe or otherwise. I guess that's what happens when you have a plant out in the open like that.

Le sigh.

Hello. I’ve had a fever for four days now (Covid tests were negative) which has morphed into a fever with diarrhea.

Tom, have you seen a doctor/urgent care? Since you added an exciting new symptom (instead of getting better), it might not be a bad idea.
