I am so devastated! What a terrible week end this is, first Don Knott's then Darren McGavin! He was awesome in A Christmas Story but he was equally awesome in the Night Stalker tv series. Does anybody remember that? I will miss him terribly =(

Wow, 2 deaths in a row already on the same day! First Don Knotts now Darren McGavin! I feel sad now.

Wow..it comes in threes...who next? Yikes.

He will be missed, as well.

I am very shocked to hear this terrible news. All the good people are dying these days.

"Carl Kolshak" the night stalker. I just bought the released dvd collection and have been watching them the past few weeks. Wow. This weekend sucks. He is awesome in "A Christmas Story".

This is out on DVD now?? This show was GREAT! The funny thing is, every episode used to scare me to death when I was a kid, and when I had my own kids watch it, they didn't find it scary at all. I mean c'mon, the guys walking around Underground Seattle with a vampire lurking and that's not SCARY??? I guess kids now are so desensitized.......

^ Yes the entire series plus the two original tv movies are on dvd now. It's great!
