      This may sound a bit strange, but it seems a bit more respectful for their deaths to stay out of the limelight because of how the media has been over the past few years. At least this way their families have had the chance to grieve without all the extra attention and have the opportunity to process it on their own terms.

    Well, there goes my childhood...so MANY wonderful memories (I tried to avoid this video too until I couldn't). As my beloved brother (sadly also deceased in '89) and I were then both 'latchkey' kids, we found so much joy from watching these stars on TV (back then it seemed that the main movie cable channels were HBO, TMC, Showtime & Cinemax...and that was it for our TV movies besides Blockbusters & afterschool specials, though we were pretty busy with school activities and/or working; Atari was around & Nintendo was starting to make a huge name for itself). I know all generations say this but I really do wonder how the shows have since compared to the wonderful decade that is the '80s. May everyone in this video RIP (my 'big brother too)!

    I’m surprised you didn’t give Alan Thicke’s then wife, Gloria Loring, credit for co-writing “The facts of life” song (which she also sang) along with “Different Strokes” song as well ....
    I’m guessing it’s because Gloria is still alive at 74 🤷🏼‍♀️ still, let’s give credit where credit is due 🙏🏼

    You refer to Richard Mulligan and Catherine Helmond as playing "elderly" characters. Mulligan was in his 50s in his show, and Helmond, while not young, could not be described as elderly. The only person who played a prominent role as an elderly cast character was Estelle Getty on The Golden Girls. I don't think you know the meaning of the word "elderly."

      Richard Mulligan was sort of the TV version brother from another mother of Leslie Nielson. Played plenty of heavies and starred in intense dramas. Then someone cast him in an outrageous satire based here upon the art form of The TV Soap Opera and in an incredible cast of characters including the young Billy Crystal well Richard Mulligan truly shines among the other lunatic diamonds!😂🤣📺B.W.

    KFVS TV in Cape Girardeau, Missouri has done an annual children's telethon for many years. I grew up in the viewing area. Every year I was watching there was a TV celebrity as guest host of the telethon. One year, when I was a young teenager, that guest host was Ted Knight. I was stuck home miserably ill with a strep throat. What I didn't know is my mother had some connections with the station, and had managed to arrange for Ted Knight to call me on the phone. I still remember when he called, he was in the persona of Ted Baxter, but talking non-stop where I couldn't get a word in. Not that I could have gotten much of a word in with the strep throat I had before he hurriedly hung up. He was obviously pressed for time being live on TV. I was devastated when I had heard in 1986 he had died of cancer because I felt like I had met him.

He was fired from the show and his character was killed off eliminating any chance of a return. Rhea didn't officially have his character whacked but her fingerprints were all over the crime scene.
