Tom Poston, one of the classic veterans of TV comedy, died earlier today at his home in Los Angeles. He appeared on The Steve Allen Show in the 1950s and Newhart in the 1980s.

Poston played handyman George Utley on Newhart, and was also a regular on another Bob Newhart series, Bob. And to keep the connection to Newhart going, he played Cliff "The Peeper" Murdock on The Bob Newhart Show in the 70s. Poston also appeared on Grace Under Fire, Mork & Mindy, The Simpsons, Will & Grace, Home Improvement, Murphy Brown, Get Smart, Coach, The Love Boat, Studio One, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Just Shoot Me, That 70s Show, and dozens of other shows over the years.

Poston was married to actress Suzanne Pleshette, who played Newhart's wife Emily on The Bob Newhart Show.

Fox's new show, Drive has crappy dialog, lame character development, and Fla. looks strangely similar to San Bernardino County, mountains and all.

hard to believe but according to joan walsh of salon "Donohue said he thought the "South Park" episode this week in which Jesus returns as a ninja and cuts Donohue in half was "hilarious," and he disagrees with conservatives who've told him to sue Comedy Central."
