2016 continues to give the world the middle finger and has taken another great from us. I'm so sad right now. Shocked and saddened. My thoughts go out to his family.

 

He was just on an episode of Fuller House season 2

How awful. I never liked Growing Pains very much but he was a warm and funny comic presence. He was also on Hope & Gloria, an underrated sitcom. It seems like in recent years he was mostly known for his son Robin but he clearly kept on working. 

 

And of course he was married to Gloria Loring (Liz Chandler, DAYS) for years.

I really wish I'd watched more of his silly scripted reality show on Pop, I think it'll be too sad to do so now.  I certainly watched GP as a kid, and my goodness, what can I say about those classic theme songs...

 

Mr. Thicke hosted a Saturday afternoon show about animals that I watched faithfully.  His co-host was a cute (treacly?) little hedgehog puppet.

 

Whenever Robin is mentioned, I always think of Brennan who has always been the "star" offspring of the family since he voiced Dennis the Menace.  My cousins and I watched every weekday after school.

 

RIP Robin Thicke
