@mossygreen Love this. He was really amazing. He’s already been missed for quite some time while he more or less went into seclusion over the years. He’ll certainly be missed more now.
Damn. First Buffett, now this. The ending to the “Newhart” series was brilliant. Loved him as Professor Proton. And all the others…RIP and thanks for all the laughter.
@katbyter Really sucks how he got screwed out of his company and his name by shyster investors. I never tasted the original recipe but he had said the mass market version was not the same as what he made.
James Darren, a teen idol who helped ignite the 1960s surfing craze as a charismatic beach boy paired off with Sandra Dee in the hit film “Gidget,” died Monday at 88.

I’ve been fascinated by him since I realized that NOT ONLY was he Pepper’s love interest on Police Woman and on TJ Hooker, but he was also a pop singer on The Donna Reed Show whose character was the subject of Johnny Angel. And on top of that, he was on The Time Tunnel AND Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and had a movie career, and a singing career, and IT’S INSANE. Such a varied resume.
