1.) DParker - 01/14/2016
Only 2 weeks into the new year and we've lost David Bowie, Pat Harrington ("Schneider" on [I]One Day At A Time[/I] in the '70s), several well-known actors you know on sight but whose names you'd never recognize, and now one of my favorites....Alan Rickman (An awesome actor. I didn't even know he was 69, let alone battling cancer).
By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan...he will be avenged!
ETA: Natalie Cole and Wayne Rogers ("Trapper John" on the M*A*S*H series) just missed the list, passing on Dec. 31, 2015.

I was surprised no one said anything about Bowie until now.
Apparently Rickman was quite something.
Absolutely could not stand[I] MASH[/I], but enjoyed Wayne Rogers' later career.
Yippee ki yay, all...and I mean that in a nice way.

This is a tough crowd. :-)
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating
in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past
one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
she knows

I thought that song was never going to go away.
By the way, ten sticky thumbs up for the [I]Paint It Black[/I] reference in a thread about death, LOL.
Somebody has to clue me in on DParker's picture of the kid sitting in the easychair, though. :-) (after the Farrah references)

I have no idea what DParker was up to there. It probably had to do with some rare imported vodka most likely.

Look, it's like I tell all of the highly educated immigrants I interact with on my job: In this country we communicate in terms of pop culture references (movies, hit songs, etc). If you're going to speak the language, you've got to spend time in front of the tube.

Hahahhahhaa!
I guess I would have deserved that if you did... with a lead in like that! Thanks for sparing me though. Her naked; now I was pretty into that... I was more focused on remembering that freaky physical transformation into the cat.
I'm sure if I watched it today it wouldn't have quite the same impression (the transformation, that is). :-)

What got me was the scene where Malcom MacDowell scarfs down a last chunk of flesh right after he makes the transformation back to human form after killing and eating that girl.

If you have any appreciation for brass at all you have to admit that EW&F put out a great sound. In fact one of the best musical performances I ever saw on television was when they got together with Chicago and did a bunch of both group's tunes. It was Hornapalooza.
Yeah, the costumes were goofy. But it was the '70s, so shut up.

I never could get too enthused about EWF when they were coming up but they had a pretty big hill to climb against Merle Haggard, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, etc. :wink
Now that I'm older I can appreciate them a bit more...I said a bit more. :-)
I'll see if I can come up with something they did that I would vote for. I'm sure there's something. Hell, even England Dan and John Ford Coley get SOMETHING. LOL
I tried to come up with a White Rabbit joke when Kantner died, but failed, so I kept my mouth shut. Once again, like Bowie, I didn't hear a lot about it on the tube. Kind of a shame. He deserved a bigger send-off.

If the Brady Bunch aired against The Monkeys or Get Smart or Batman or Magilla Gorilla or a slew of other shows I can think of, it was a red-headed stepchild. Looking back on it today, it was very "California," which was lost on me, although Marsha seemed like a goddess at the time. :wink
