In Memoriam

By Eric Robinette | Sunday, February 25, 2007, 11:51 PM

And now for the ONLY montage this show should really have: the farewell reel.

Most missed by me: Betty Comden, June Allyson, Don Knotts, Darren McGavin, Sven Nykvist, James Doohan, Peter Boyle, Jack Warden, Jack Palance, Henry Bumstead, and Robert Altman, who, as predicted, gets the most applause.

And of course, my grandma.

Most missed by me too is Bruno Kirby … not a popular famous guy, but solid from his start with Godfather. I think Don Knotts and Peter Boyle we all feel like we know well. And of course we are all affected in some way by Robert Altman!! I think this montage was poorly done and if they want to take a lesson from the best of tribute those we’ve lost they should get TCM to do it next year!!
