A former cartoon writer for Thundercats and Silverhawks Stephen Perry was killed in Florida under the most suspicious circumstances. A severed arm was found in the investigation and his two roomates, who were missing, have been arrested on unrelated charges but are under scutiny. Very sad.
Gary Coleman is in critical condition.
ABC is talking about reviving Alias, which aired from 2001-06.

THIS 'N' THAT
Kevin Butler has a rundown of Art Linkletter's career here.
Thought you might like to see this photo shot last weekend, I filmed a small role for an indie horror movie. I played a mad priest, the setting was a Catholic seminary in the 1950s so naturally we shot it in my living room since almost everything is pre-1960s.
See that sculpture from the Stations of the Cross behind me? That's mine - a church was being renovated and they had ten of these sculptures depicting the death and resurrection of Jesus, 3 foot tall dioramas probably sculpted in the 1930s. The church THREW THEM IN THE TRASH and a friend of mine rescued the only three that weren't destroyed. Can you imagine? Anyway, I took this one home. My friend asked if I wanted the other two but I thought that would be overkill, people might think I'm some kind of nut.
This has to be the most flagrant example of passive aggressive behavior I've seen in forever.
Did you know a pilot for a remake of The Rockford Files was produced for NBC this year with Dermot Mulroney playing Jim Rockford? If NBC wants to bring Rockford back just rerun the originals, they're a lot better than anything else the network has come up with over the last couple of decades.

THAT WAS FUNNY
Art Linkletter has died. I remember watching his daytime talk show House Party as a little kid in short pants. The most popular segment was 'Kids Say The Darndest Things' where Linkletter would interview a line up of children where, inevitably, one of the tykes would say something off the wall. Kids don't look like this anymore!
Kids Say The Darndest Things was adapted for the U.K. with host Michael Barrymore, here's a cute segment from 1998. Don't get me started on Bill Cosby's dreadful 1990's version.
