I know him best as John Adams in 1776 and Disney fans of the 90s will know him best as Mr. Feeny from Boy Meets World. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Trebek was included because he hosted TCM ceremonies over many years. That makes sense then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 10,742 Posted December 22, 2020 TCM have very kindly updated their annual tribute. They've added Barbara Windsor, Jeremy Bulloch and production designer Peter Lamont, and they haven't scrubbed anyone out. Got to give them their credit, they're bloody dedicated. I wish there was a body who did this annually for musicians. Sadly MTV has long lost its way. Focus is on reality programmes like "16 and Pregnant" and "Date My Mom" rather than actual music nowadays. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Lander (co-star on Laverne & Shirley, comedy partner predating the show) dies and now George Gerdes, whom he referred to as a 'dear old friend', has also passed away.

Just found another obituary too. It doesn't matter at all but can you recall if my pick of Marion Ramsey was unique? I'm not asking you to go to the trouble of looking it up or anything but just wondering if you can recall if it was a unique pick?

I ask because the reporting on her death just says cause unknown though "ill for a few days". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
