I actually think it's an incredibly interesting fact. They talked about it on QI as well.

Maybe it's different grandmothers?

I don't think she'll be invited.

Peter Marshall is a hit for a few of us.

I always remember WKRP in Cincinnati whenever I hear his name:

Interestingly enough, 'George and Leo' is also named after him because his legal first name is George.

With the sad passing of Bob Newhart prior to Bob Dylan, @gcreptile is victorious over @WEP and proceeds to Round 2. The updated scoreboard is as follows: Ulitzer95 vs chilean way CaptainChorizo vs William1971 Joey Russ vs Sean Book vs time Salmon Mousse vs Great Uncle Bulgaria ThereWillBeDeaths7 vs theoldlady YorkshireBanker vs markb4 Perhaps vs BabyBlue Captain Hemlock vs CalebH gcreptile vs WEP Neither pick is dead in the Dying Probably v. Bibliogryphon match. This continues. Neither pick is dead in the Handrejka vs Toast match. This continues. Neither pick is dead in the TQR vs Prophet match. This continues. Neither pick is dead in the Murto Sean vs The Unknown Man match. This continues.

The sitcom, Newhart, was set in an inn in Vermont. The Bob Newhart Show was set in Chicago where his character played a psychologist.

Bob himself would be proud of this!

This one hurts a lot. Big fan of his comedy, his friendship with Don Rickles, The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, and The Rescuers. He shall be missed.

2016 itself was a huge death cluster year.

Shannen Doherty is a hit for a few people.

Shannen Doherty is a hit.

@Bibliogryphon Shannen Doherty is a hit for @An Fear Beag .

Funnily enough, I first knew of her as "Dr. Ruth Wordheimer" on the children's show, Between the Lions.

Yay the site is finally working again! Sadly Shelley Duvall has passed away. Dennis Christopher knew something after all.

I checked via the 'Search' function and couldn't find an Eva Marie Saint thread, so decided to create one so I could say happy 94th bday to her!

Wife Valeria confirms that the death reports were hoaxes: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/noam-chomskys-wife-reports-famed-linguists-death-false-111230880

@TQR Willie Mays is a hit for @Don't Fear The Reaper.

Not much of a reward for drinking milk, imo

So, was this a false alarm?

This reminds me of the hours of speculation we endured prior to Queen Elizabeth's official death announcement.

Looks like you forgot to update CaptainChorizo's score to 2.

@Bibliogryphon Francoise Hardy is a hit for @MariNisia.

@TQR Francoise Hardy is a hit for @CaptainChorizo.
