R.I.P. Fella's
It's been a tough 24 hours for TV fans. Last night, we learned about the loss of Ed Bradley, the oldest man to ever get a single ear pierced, that baton has now been passed to the youthful by comparison Harrison Ford. Now word has come in that octogenarian Jack Palance passed away today. While we are still waiting on the official cause of death, TVgasm speculates the cause to be supersaturation of awesomeness. That much one handed oscar winning awesomeness is too much for even the most youthful of bodies to sustain.
We all know what they say about these things coming in three's, but rather than being so obvious as to speculate on who the third may be. . . TVgasm looks back at those we have lost in recent weeks in a salute we like to call, the TVgasm salute to recently dead things.

Mickey Rooney's still kickin' around. I just saw him on 'Family Guy' the other night pooping in a chimney and peeling off people's scabs.

I don't know about you, but I think that Palance's performance in 'Requiem for a Heavyweight' still ranks as one of the "awesomest" ;-) in TV history.
Resquiat in Pace, Big Guy.
And, Oh yeah, sorry about Bill Bradley.

I actually cried this morning when I read about Jack Palance's passing. Some of my fondest memories growing up were of being scared shitless by him in movies. But my daddy was always right there beside me. He was a huge fan.
Good night, Mr. Palance. And say hello to my dad for me.
