Uncle Joe Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Ten Pea's post about Johnny Carson and Karnak in the Give me an answer, etc. thread reminded me how much I miss Carson. He was a major part of my daily life for almost 30 years. I never went to bed until after his show (1 AM in Philly). I also miss: The Far Side (Gary Larson) Calvin And Hobbes (Bill Watterson) Peanuts (Charles Schultz) A book a year each by Robert Ludlum and John Le Carre. Of course their body of work is still here and the strips are rerun or offered in collections but there's nothing new to look forward to. How about you? Anything/one that you miss (including recently departed rockers)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I am currently in the middle of "Arrested Development" withdrawals. And my heart still has a huge hole in it without "Seinfeld". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) I still wish Steve Irwin was around... again, I'm not a fan, but he's always been there! And yesterday I learnt that his eight-year-old daughter called him the most important person in her life and that got me all teary. I miss Freddie Mercury incredibly... especially when I hear his later songs. That was a voice. I miss Charles Schultz. I remember reading his letter of retirement in the paper when he was struggling with cancer (colon cancer, I think) and his death shortly after. Edited September 12, 2006 by Guest poof!

Jenny Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I miss Bob Hope, Benny Hill and Rodney Dangerfield. I miss the cartoon "Tom & Jerry"...the real ones where neither one of them talk. I know they still show them, but I haven't been able to catch them....and I especially miss Bugs Bunny.

Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I miss The Carol Burnett Show. Talk about clasic comedy, her, Harvey and Tim were the best thing on TV. I watched it all the time with my parents. And I still laugh when I think of Carol with the drapes and the rod still attatched in her Gone With The Wind skit!! Too funny!!

RonJonSurfer Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 How I miss John Lennon and George Harrison and The Beatles in general. When I hear this song I think of them more: Lyrics for: In My Life There are places I remember All my life, though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life, I love you more (Instrumental) Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life, I love you more In my life, I love you more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 JANE! The theme song for "Maude" is my favorite theme of all time! Donny Hathaway sang it...I loved him. Lady Godiva was a freedom rider She didn't care if the whole world looked. Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her She was a sister who really cooked. Isadora was the first bra burner Ain't you glad she showed up? (Oh yeah) And when the country was falling apart Betsy Ross got it all sewed up. And then there's Maude. And then there's Maude. And then there's Maude. And then there's Maude. And then there's Maude. And then there's Maude. And then there's That old compromisin', enterprisin', anything but tranquilizing, Right on Maude!

The Seeker Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I really miss Monty Python, or let's say, I wish they'd do some new stuff. It probably wouldn't be as good as what they used to do, but just the general idea of new Flying Circus episodes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
