RIP: In Memoriam Thread

Years ago, I taped an episode of The Sally Jessy Raphael Show that featured BJ Thomas as a surprise for the show's guest, a morbidly obese young man whose name, I think, was Jackie. He idolized BJ and was thrilled to meet him, sit next to him and hear his story. Jackie's doctor was also present and they spoke a lot about the respective addictions (food and drugs). BJ also sang a poignant song to Jackie called "Broken Toys." I've never forgotten this show, BJ's kindness towards Jackie (and his own honesty) and have wondered what happened to that young man.

Came across this movie (called Harvey Middleman, Fireman from 1965) starring Arlene Golonka and a young Eugene Troobnick, aka Uncle Stavros on GL. Funny to me to see ET so young and without a Greek accent.

Gavin MacCleod was a terrific actor and I mostly enjoyed TLB because of him.  One of my favorite eppies of the MTM show was a very married Murray deciding he was in love with Mary.  I laughed til I cried.  It was hilarious.  I haven't seen that eppy in eons but it's such a stand out for me.
