Surely you can't be serious?

I am serious, and please stop calling me Shirley...

RIP, Bud

Was very sad to hear this earlier. Loved his movies, and a very interesting fellow all around.

Brilliantly funny guy, and not to sound ignorant but i had no idea about this Boc connection until now. He will be missed.

He was a great guy..
I loved all of his movies.

I loved Police Squad and the first Airplane! movie was a classic.

The first time I heard his dulcet tones on Dandelion was a welcome surprise too.

At least we still have those, and other movies etc to remind us how great he was.

RIP

Whoa, didn't see this coming.

I didn't even know that he is the voice in Dandelion!

I remember watching Police Squad on TV back when I was a young kid. I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. When it was canceled after only a few episodes, I was floored--how could something so wonderful NOT succeed? And thus my initiation into the banality of popular culture had begun.

Keep running into those trash cans, Leslie!

you've got to be joking..
who next?

do relatively obscure music-related people always die in threes?

Digged out one of his films yesterday and again had some good laughs.

Requiescat in pace!

They released the episodes on DVD a few years back I believe, been meaning to check it out ever since..
