Lee Dorman, the bassist for Iron Butterfly, was found dead. He was 70.

I hope they play In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on the pipe organ for the funeral... ala The Simpsons.

Jack Klugman, who played Oscar on The Odd Couple TV series, and Quincy, died today. He was 90.

Charles Durning, the "king of character actors", died yesterday. He was 89.

Among his films were The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, To Be or Not to Be, and The Muppet Movie, and he played Santa Claus more than once.

There was something about Durning that I always liked, though I'm not sure exactly what.

I always associate him mentally with Burt Reynolds appearances; turns out that's appropriate, since they appeared together 122 times.

For me, it was seeing Durning in the episode of NCIS that will always stick with me the more.

I just read on Baen's Bar that Gerry Anderson has passed. Many fond memories of his Supermarionation series, UFO and Space: 1999.

I grew up watching the Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet. I always enjoyed his shows.
