My mom still watches repeats of Walker to this day.

What's vaguely amusing to me is that I had no idea until hearing of his death today that Trivett from Walker and Theo from Die Hard were played by the same guy. RIP to Mr. Gilyard, and my condolences to his family and friends.

Yeah, we introduced our boys to Look Who's Talking only a few weeks back and they loved it - although were slightly grossed out by some of the more biological bits...

I loved The Rockford Files repeats on 1970's BBC. A show I think of first regarding James Garner, rather than Bret Maverick).
'Angel' was a memorable, stand out character.

Kind of a very specific sports niche but early pioneer of MMA, Stephan Bonnar has passed away at 45. Cause of death not released, but he had been battling health problems, as well as losing eveything in a fire at his Vegas home a year or so ago.
Long story short :
Bonnar burst on the scene as a cast member of the groundbreaking reality show profiling the lives of upcoming MMA fighters. He made the show’s finals and fought Forrest Griffin. The ensuing slugfest drew a massive spike in viewership for the UFC’s broadcaster, Spike. While Bonnar lost a unanimous decision, he was awarded a UFC contract by UFC President Dana White, who later credited the bout for singlehandedly saving the promotion at a time when it was hemorrhaging money.
I remember this fight, and coming into work the next day and talking to co-workers that I rarely had talked to before and all of us just going wild talking about this fight. Over the years we still get together for a few UFC PPVs a year.

Hush! The year's not over for everyone quite yet. There's still time for 2022 to do some more damage (e.g., California could fall into the Pacific Ocean, etc.). Don't tempt fate like that!
