RIP Bear. Armageddon was my favorite, but most people loved The Green Mile.

Um, Betty- that happened in 2005.

It's still sad, though.

Wonder if the confusion was started by the death of the Steve Franken over the weekend, who was also on Dobie Gillis.

I thought it sounded familiar. ha ha ha. I wonder where I got that from.

He's dead though. You should be sad.

This completely bummed me out! He was a very talented man and I loved his voice. I guess the heart attack explains why his show was cancelled. My cheese is sad:(
