BRAIN: They are dropping like flies now. Actors from all of my favorite sitcoms are dying. I'm a big fan of sitcoms from the 1960's so all of these actors are getting up there in age. Al Lewis, Grandpa Munster, died on Friday. The Munsters is my all-time favorite tv show. It started in 1964 and only lasted 2 seasons. Color tv was available at the time but The Munsters was filmed in black and white to better capture the mood of the classic monster movies and look. Both seasons are now available on DVD. Coincidently, I met Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) yesterday at an auto show that had the Munster's Coach and he was kind of a jag-off...
In the last couple of months a bunch of classic tv sitcom actors have died; Bob Denver (Gilligan - Gilligan's Island), Don Adams (Maxwell Smart - Get Smart) and Frank Gorshin (The Riddler - Batman).
