If this board can't survive the death of Jesse Stone then it's already in trouble.

Probably the best comment on this board so far.

The first great cop show. Paved the way for Homicide, The Shield, Law & Order, etc.

He also created one of the worst cop shows, Cop Rock. But I'll give him credit for trying something different.

My buddy that lives in Lees Summit would record Coast to Coast nightly on his VCR then listen to them when he got up in the morning. Whenever I would come to visit he'd pick out some of the best and we would sit in his basement and listen to them while drinking. This was back in the days before podcasts.

[Trip]

I made more than my share of cross country road trips in the days before satellite, and preferred driving at night, so Art became a frequent travel companion. His show was a hoot. No matter where I was, seemed like I could always find a station carrying it.

This podcast is the only thing I know about Art but I wished i had heard more shows based of what people say about him.

He would pretty much swallow anything someone would say. I remember one night a caller was describing ghosts outside of his window and Art was pretty much wetting himself. He would take the most far out subjects and talk like he was just walking out to get the paper.

Yes! That's what made his program so great. He turned the outlandish into the commonplace.

Interesting that he died on Friday the 13th...gone to that Area 51 in the sky. RIP Art....

Former First Lady Barbara Bush in failing health, according to spokesperson

HOUSTON, Texas --
Former first lady Barbara Bush is in failing health, according to a family spokesperson.

Spokesperson Jim McGrath issued a statement that the former first lady is in comfort care.

"Following a recent series of hospitalizations, and after consulting her family and doctors, Mrs. Bush, now age 92, has decided not to seek additional medical treatment and will instead focus on comfort care," McGrath said. "It will not surprise those who know her that Barbara Bush has been a rock in the face of her failing health, worrying not for herself -- thanks to her abiding faith -- but for others. She is surrounded by a family she adores, and appreciates the many kind messages and especially the prayers she is receiving."

Barbara, wife of former President George H.W. Bush, served as first lady during his presidency from 1989 to 1993.

I love me some Bell. The way he would react to some of the nuts on his show was an instant classic. Noory doesn't hold a candle to him.

George Noory is OK. But Art Bell was so unique, he could never be replicated. Except by one of your AI androids.

George Knapp is a pretty good fill in. He is - or at least used to be - a TV/print journalist in Vegas. He's a full on believer and a pretty good investigator.

Just read that about Ermey...quite a character...

Rest In Peace Gunny.

I really enjoyed his work in "Mississippi Burning".

When I was in Navy someone left their locker unlocked and the Chief not only dumped it out the second floor window he made the sailor go down and pick up only 1 item at a time and bring back up. Place it in his locker, lock his locker (combo lock not key), go down get another come back up amd unlock his combo and place it and relock. All while we did push ups. We went “down” when he went down to get another item and then “up” when he came back up. Talk about tired. That was brutal.

Never again did anyone leave locker undone. That night we gave him a pillow party only we used balled up socks imside pillow cases. It hurts but not in an injured type of way.

[Longcrawler]

Fair winds and following seas Gunny, see you at the gate.

"Uncle Sam's canoe club". LMAO!

He also gave us one final substitute cuss word for the ages:

Semper Fi Gunny, the Devil Dogs never had a better spokesman. Thank you.

Harry Anderson, quirky Judge Harry Stone on 'Night Court,' dies at 65

Bryan Alexander, USA TODAYPublished 7:34 p.m. ET April 16, 2018


Harry Anderson, best known for playing the unorthodox, baby-faced Judge Harry Stone on the NBC comedy Night Court, has died at age 65.

Anderson was found dead in his Asheville, N.C., home by police at 6:41 a.m. local time Monday, according to Christina Hallingse, public information officer for the Asheville Police Department.

Foul play wasn't expected, she said. No further details were available.

Anderson starred as the young judge in the comedy series that ran from from 1984 to 1992, set in the anything-goes atmosphere of New York Municipal Court's night shift.

During his stint on the popular show, Anderson was nominated for three Emmy Awards and made eight appearances on Saturday Night Live.
