[Raven]

I thought this thread would be in celebration of a wank or something.

 

[Job]

It was suicide and it was painless

 

[ECA]

It was saturday so it was 2016.

Loved MASH, an 11 year TV comedy about a war that lasted only 3 years

 

[TdC]

I loved MASH, to the extent that if I ever have a cat it will be called Radar

edit: dammit I've been watching MASH clips for the past 25 minutes

M*A*S*H star William Christopher dies - BBC News

Did anyone really enjoy that show or was it just what was on late at night? Well, that and the Australian show Prisoner.

Edit: Apparently @TdC enjoys it. Perhaps it was just 20y/o me that didn't get it. Still, can't imagine myself enjoying it.

 

[Job]

MASH was awesome because it was shown in the UK without the laugh track and was so much better for it.

 

[fettoken]

As a connoisseur of Seinfeld, not really minding the laugh tracks at all. Laugh-track damaged honestly.

 

[Raven]

Good comedy should not need to tell the audience when to laugh.

 

[Moriath]

Mash was great.

 

[TdC]

As a connoisseur of Seinfeld, not really minding the laugh tracks at all. Laugh-track damaged honestly.

you like Seinfeld but don't understand MASH? I think it's a generation thing dude.

Bronski Beat keyboardist Larry Steinbachek dies at 56 - BBC News

 

[Moriath]

Nooo aliens wont be the same again. John hurt has died . Rip

 

[Gwadien]

Yeah just saw that. Fuck.

Although....

I'm starting to think that it's not a case of lots of famous people dying at the same time, we've just naturally moved into the era of celebrity worship figures getting beyond the age of 60.

 

[Raven]

There are so, so many famous people, shit loads of them are coffin dodgers. Some forget to dodge now and again.

 

[Hawkwind]

Nooo aliens wont be the same again. John hurt has died . Rip

Damn, great actor. RIP

 

[BloodOmen]

Aye just woke up to John Hurt dying, fucking shame, one of my fav actors

 

[TdC]

indeed. awesome actor. RIP.

 

[Gumbo]

Aye just woke up to John Hurt dying, fucking shame, one of my fav actors

Why didn't you try and save him? At least give CPR a go or something! Still, sleeping with 77 year old classic British actors, good on you, you dawg!
