I have fond fond memories of curling up in front of the television to watch something in glorious black and white that was always introduced by your marvelous tidbits of information and analysis. you taught me so much man. i had no idea that Hepburn and Tracy were lovin it up adulterously all those years, or that cary grant was british! or that Rock "The Rock" Hudson was gayer than Doris Day's songs... and besides.....dude.....Alistaire Cookie!!! Cookie Monster!!! PBS! SESAME STREET!! MONSTERPIECE THEATER!! None of that would have been possible if not for you. Kudos man. RIP.
