I had to go look up Tim perry and Michael Wright. While I am familiar with some of their movies/shows. For me the list of 3 is Panettierre, Beard and Dolly. Season 1 of Heroes is amazing even if it drastically declined after that and "Save the Cheerleader" is just part of TV lore, IMO.
I agree. The problem is, that means that with Curry, two more are eminent.
If Harrison Ford goes, the end times are near.

I'm thinking Keith Richards signals the end. It would shake our beliefs in potential immortality. Maybe Willie Nelson as well.

Yeah, can't disagree with that. Maybe even add Dick Van Dyke, that guy is over 100 though, so it wouldn't be that shocking.
Crappity crap crap crap.
Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) died.
Smerconish on Dolly:
The breadth of the tributes to Dolly Parton speaks to her unique contribution to society. Her music is being played everywhere. Her movies are being downloaded yet again. Her humor is being repeated and her generosity saluted.
Me, I'm appreciating her influence on a vanishing monoculture.
Monoculture is our shared story. The thing everybody saw. In 1983, the finale of M*A*S*H drew a 77 share. Seventy-seven percent of every television in use in America was tuned to one channel. That country is gone. This year, roughly 95 of the 100 most-watched telecasts were sports. We no longer have a national conversation. We have 340 million private ones.
Which is what made Tuesday remarkable. On a few hours' notice, CBS and ABC both cleared primetime. That machinery is retired. It exists now for a presidential address, a national tragedy, and the Super Bowl. It fired up for a country singer from Sevier County whose father paid the doctor who delivered her with a sack of cornmeal.
The polling explains why. In March, UMass Lowell and YouGov had her at 70 percent favorable, 5 percent unfavorable. She was the only person in the survey above 50 percent with Democrats, Republicans and independents at the same time. Obama was next at plus 14. Trump minus 18. Biden minus 19.
And she managed it without splitting the difference. She had positions. She simply refused to use them as weapons and refused to let anyone use her as one.
Dolly Parton didn't unite us. We united around her, because of who she was.
She found something in this country we had stopped believing existed.
It's still here.
Not to go political but to focus on that “something existing”… As much as I despise the predominant character flaws of our President, his 2015 campaign had an effect of reinforcing that “something.” He empowered many Americans to have a voice after having felt unappreciated, unheard, unimportant.
Anyone who didn’t notice clearly didn’t appreciate, hear or consider important those fellow Americans.
I agree with Smerconish, it’s here and very much the warf and woop of America.
"If I was born a man I would have been a drag queen."
No fan of alphabet soup myself but Dolly was pro-lgbt long before most heterosexuals. "Love is love and we have no control over that.” Pro-gay marriage long before legal. On and on.
Also not a Bernie fan but here he’s representing her correctly more than politicizing her.
He’s representing her personal charity and philanthropy as affirmation of his politics. He’s a scumbag.
To be fair to both sides, looks like Ricky Schroeder also had to mention political views in his message of condolence.
I hate rude behavior in a man. Won’t tolerate it.
I guess there are some small groups of Dolly haters out there. Seems like the fundamentalists and the anti-vaccine people
One wacked-out take:

Gotta love the Brits always honoring America when they change the guard.
