"Fra-Gee-Lay; It Must be Italian" and "You Gotta Nip it in the Bud, Andy"
Two actors who played much-beloved roles during their careers are dead.
Darren McGavin who, among other roles, played the grouchy but lovable father of Ralph Parker in "A Christmas Story", died today at the age of 83 (I had no idea he was in his 60s when he played that role).
Don Knotts, famous for his role as bumbling sheriff's deputy Barney Fife in "The Andy Griffith Show" and for his role as bumbling apartment manager Ralph Furley in "Three's Company", died today at the age of 81.
May they rest in peace.

McGavin also starred in the short-lived Kolchak: The Night Stalker, one of my favorite shows as a kid, and an inspiration for The X Files.
Hey Local Man, haven't heard from you in a while.
The Night Stalker was one of my favorites as a kid, too. Used to come on late at night on one of the local stations right after Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.
