Kolchak stalks the night no more.

First Don Knotts, now Darren McGavin...

It's just starting to come down off the wire services that Darren McGavin passed away this morning after a long illness (I believe he had a major stroke a few years back).

Well, you know how they say celebs die in three's - wonder who'll round out this trio?

A fun actor, no matter what show he was in. He brightened up some of the X-Files episodes in the latter seasons.

I will always remember Darren McGavin as the father in the classic movie A Christmas Story. Hope he had his "leg lamp" waiting for him when he got to heaven...

What about that Hitchhiker episode he was in?

Does hoping it's Ashton Kutcher make me a bad person?

It's a shame the only Major Award he won for A Christmas Story was that lamp. I'm gonna miss that guy.

My Night Stalker DVDs are a wonderful reminder of the days when I worked part-time for New York City's Dept. of Parks (I was a college student) in a senior citizen's center. I would always take my "lunch" breaks to coordinate with "Night Stalker" showing on TV and rush upstairs to watch it. You'll be missed Mr. McGavin.
