Wow. So sad and so eerie.

Apparently, Stephen J. Cannell died at age 69.  I did not know this. He's the first creator/showrunner of any of my fandoms to die.  Okay, Kim Manners died, but he wasn't the showrunner for SPN.  And I'm still sad about that.  This makes me sad because I swear the guy created like 1/3rd of the hit shows of the 1980s another 3rd was created by Donald P. Bellesario, and the last 3rd were sitcoms.  And I just now realized how much '80s TV I've seen.

Yeah, yeah, I'm an A-Team fan, but I was also totally addicted to 21 Jump Street reruns during Summer '07.  Which Kim Manners directed a few episodes of.  Weird.  Oh, and I've watched me a bit of The Rockford Files.  So anyway, 'tis very, very sad.  I hope he rests in peace.

This is eerie because earlier today, for no particular reason, I was thinking about that scene in the pilot episode of Castle where Castle plays poker with Cannell and James Patterson, and how amusing it was.  Then I thought that they should do that again.  But alas...

grief, tv, i care too much, the a-team, castle, too weird for words
