Great, great shows including "All in the Family", "Sanford & Son", "Maude" and "The Jeffersons", all of which would cause heart attacks in today's triggered cancel culture.

I saw a list the other day from this past year.  It was surprising how many notable people were the same age, and generally seemed to be around 82 give or take a few years.  Depending on the sex [identified at birth], that's about 5-10 years beyond average, which I suppose makes sense for wealthier people getting care to extend their life.

And Fox got the wrong Frank Thomas.  I was like "THE BIG HURT DIED AT 52?!?"
