Well, another part of my childhood is gone...

My favorite show on Nickelodeon was You Can't Do That on Television. Les Lye, who played most of the adults on the show, has passed away at age 84. :( The old clips still make me laugh.

Lye played the Coach, Barth the burger chef, and Ross the show's director, among other roles. The kids came and went, but he was there to the end.

Part of one show... there are a lot of clips on you tube. I'm pretty sure I have some on VHS...

*pours green slime on post in tribute* RIP, Les, and thanks for being a part of my childhood memories!

A sad but not unexpected piece of news...

Legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite has passed away at the age of 92. "And that's the way it is".

No doubt his most famous moments at CBS came with the announcement of President Kennedy's death:

...and his unrestrained glee about the moon landing, 40 years ago yesterday.
