Holt's rivalry with Wuntch was fantastic. I'm still anxiously awaiting an opportunity to say "I never thought I would see you this high without a broom under you."

Matthew Perry died of the acute effects of the drug ketamine and his death has been ruled an accident, according to a report released by the Los Angeles County medical examiner's office on Friday.

Several factors contributed to the actor's death, including drowning, coronary artery disease and an opioid drug called buprenorphine, which is used to treat opioid abuse disorder.

The actor had taken drugs in the past but had been "reportedly clean for 19 months," according to the report. The coroner said he was reported to have been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy to deal with depression and anxiety, and his last treatment was one and a half weeks before his death.

Re-started Brooklyn 99. An all-time great show IMO. Thanks in no small part to this man.

"Holtus in Aeturnum."

A nice tribute from Last Week Tonight to Andre Braugher.

This one hurts.

'Max Payne' star James McCaffrey dead at 65 after cancer battle.

Just an iconic voice in the video game industry, and had plenty of other big roles in television and movies.

Damn. I know James McCaffrey was more famous for other stuff—the voice of Max Payne, the starring role on Rescue Me—but to me he was always 'Joe Astor' from Viper...



It was a stupid, cheesy show, but I loved it.

"Mom always liked you best."

Tommy Smothers, the older half of the comedy duo The Smothers Brothers, has died at 86.



If you're like me, your memories of the Smothers Brothers are from the 80s and 90s, when they were old men your parents liked who told corny jokes and did yo-yo tricks.

It's only as I've gotten older that I understand the impact they had on the tv business and comedy in general. They were willing to push the boundaries of what tv comedy could be, having frequent run-ins with the CBS censors for guests and content that were critical of the government, especially with regards to the Vietnam War. Despite its popularity with younger viewers, CBS cancelled The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour after only 3 seasons.

The show provided a launch pad for the careers of many comedy legends such as Steve Martin, Rob Reiner, and Bob Einstein (Super Dave), who worked as both writers and performers on the show.

I've watched Michael Clayton probably 6 times. Unreal flick.

I am really worried about the future of Harry Rosen's stores. They are making a HUGE push to online sales and trying to lessen the importance of the on-premises sales staff as far as I can see. The customer service aspect of their brand is massive and they need to keep that alive if they want to justify selling $400 pairs of pants to people.
