Just before the thread fell off the first page: Garry Marshall, producer and director, at age 81:
http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/20/entert...ary/index.html
That article doesn't get across exactly how prolific he was:

And his stint on Hocus Pocus with Penny...always loved that.
Definitely a loss, I enjoyed most of what he did. As a kid I always enjoyed Love, American Style, and of course Mork & Mindy, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, The Odd Couple. It's amazing what he was part of. Hocus Pocus was one of my daughter's favorite movies to watch at Halloween when she was younger, and you're right, Laedria, he and Penny Marshall were awesome in it.
Football fans will remember this fella:
Denny Green dies
Not an all-time great coach, but a very good coach who couldn't get over the hump, in the realm of guys like Chuck Knox and George Allen. Although if Randy Moss doesn't drop a TD pass that hits in the gut against the Falcons in that NFC championship game, or if Gary Anderson doesn't have his first miss of the year on a what should have been an easy field goal in that same game, Green probably has a Super Bowl title to his name.
And of course:

Tom Selleck is not dead, despite all the hoopla :P
Magnum PI, Quigley Down Under for the win!
Sad to see him go. He frustrated me to all hell but he was a good coach and a good person. Plus, he had one of the top two sports rants of all time (can you guess the other one I'm thinking of?)Quote:

He is amazing in Blue Bloods.Quote:

Assuming that we're limiting the field to coaches' press conference rants, I assume it's something from this list.Quote:

I blame Dmitry posting the Alfred E. Neuman picture for this: Jack Davis, Mad magazine artist who drew Alfred E. Neuman, dead at 91:

Dmitry's Curse in action. I haven't read Mad Magazine much in the last couple of decades, but in high school and college I bought it as much as I could, such a classic. Jack Davis was truly a master in the art of cartooning.
