RIP.
For a small show, night court was memorable for me.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Night Court, Barney Miller, Mork & Mindy. Those were my golden days of comedy TV.
Somehow I feel older. RIP Harry.

That’s too bad. I’m acquainted with Markie Post, friend of friends kind of thing. I’m sure she’s hurting right now. I guess he was a really good guy.

R.I.P. Judge Stone. Damn another great actor gone. Prayers and smoke from Kansas. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.

Sad to hear. Seems like every time I turn on the radio or TV, there's another icon passing away. It makes me feel older every time.
