Live for the present.  Embrace the future.  Our favorite game show is still producing excellent, high quality, exciting, hour-long* shows every weekday throughout its traditional season window.  It’s as good as it’s been in a long, long time.  If the 1980s were the ‘good ole days’ for the Barker era, so is RIGHT NOW for the Carey era.  Don’t worry about what the future holds.  It will play out in due time.  Enjoy what we have right in front of us in the meantime!

No, no. It couldn't be like this.

Orson Bean has been killed after being struck by a car in Venice CA at the age of 91. This absolutely sucks.

Damn that's a terrible way to go out at his age. :( I remember watching him in the Equalizer 2 a few years ago. So sad that he had to go like this. May he RIP.

It's the premiere of Equalizer 2 that KABC used for his photo. Unfortunately, KABC caught his body being carted into the coroner van.

Besides all else, Orson had a record album from 1969, "I Ate the Baloney," on Columbia. Here's the title track.

I remember Orson Bean from his many appearances on the 70s version of Match Game.
