Ditto. Carl Reiner, Dick Van Dyke and Rose Marie live on, though. Their son on the show, Richie Petrie, played by Larry Matthews, is still alive as well. He's 61 years old |

Very sad to hear of Mary Tyler Moore's passing. I liked her show, especially the iconic moment of her throwing her beret into the air...and the woman giving her a strange look!

Mary Tyler Moore I will be watching her program tomorrow on the Sundance Channel and she is one of those rare beauties that keeps you smiling at the end of each show. I adore her in the Dick Van Dyke Show and her own show the Mary Tyler Moore and she is legend of her own time and still is a legend in Television today. She is a titan and always be. A piece of my own childhood has gone away and one of the sweetest lady that ever grace on television with her trademark smile. So Fashionable too ...

The real Mary Tyler Moore was far more complicated than Laura Petrie or Mary Richards; but, she was a hell of an actress and performer. She really did turn on the world with her smile.

Yes, I'm a charter member of the Old B*st*rds Club, but is it too much to expect that the crew on "Morning Joe" know that MTM's character on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was not Laura Petri, as in the dish?
Why do I even bother watching for the few minutes I do?

I recently re-watched the movie Ordinary People (1980) she starred in with Donald Sutherland. A very good film but I was so taken aback on how her character so completely opposite to what you expected after watching her on TV. She was a fine actress and got an Oscar nomination for that role
On the flip side, one of the silliest film's was her team-up with Elvis Presley for the movie Change Of Habit (1969). She plays a nun who goes into the ghetto incognito to get a taste of real life. Elvis plays a free-clinic doctor. Can she keep her hands off him and not break her vows? She joins a neighborhood protest march and winds up arrested. The arresting officer is none other than -Ed Asner

Man, 70s tv has become perilous. We just lost Mary Tyler Moore; now, Mike "Touch" Connors has passed away. Connors, of course, was the star of the detective show Mannix, as well as MST3K favorite, Swamp Diamonds.

Not Rockford Files caliber, but very good, especially for the time period. |

A bit over a week ago (on January 19th) Dutch comic creator Jan Kruis passed away, aged 83. He was best known for his comic strip Jan, Jans en de kinderen ('Jan, Jans, and the kid's), which appeared in the lifestyle magazine Libelle, and centered around the daily life of the titular couple Jan and Jans and their two daughters. The strip's most iconic character is probably 'the big, red tomcat', who eventually got his own spin off comic.
