ReplyDeletethis isn't a gossip site
ReplyDeleteI've seen deaths posted here before, and the man was a very important part of show business. I didn't think this was a big deal.
ReplyDeleteReporting a death isn't gossip. If that's your definition of gossip then almost everything this site posts it gossip and therefore it's a gossip site
ReplyDeleteI will never forget the impact he had on my life while growing up,thanks Dick! :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't want to get into an argument here, or cause offence at all, i know all your names now and have spoken with and like you all! :) So i mean well when i say i agree somewhat with b3rt4 .
ReplyDeletePerhaps if i explain: i come here to read about fictional universes, the real world is a pretty sad place, so i prefer to keep them apart. Perhaps if this guy acted in one of the tv shows we track here i could understand more? (although even then i'd really prefer it weren't posted)
No big deal, but if i didn't say now, maybe more would start being posted and it'd start to be a problem. :)
Ok off topic but... where does this 'top 250' thing come from that i have now? I'm curious, i've seen everyone else's but haven't signed up for any of these game/scoring type things so wasn't aware i'd get one! I don't mind of course, just curious. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, an important figure in tv show dies and most of you are like 'who cares'?
ReplyDeleteSad news. RIP Mr Clark and condolences to your family
ReplyDeleteI would come home from school and immediately turn othe TV to American Bandstand.
ReplyDeleteYes me too! Then they moved it to Saturday..good memories. :)
ReplyDeleteLast time I checked, the name of the site was "SpoilerTV"...and Dick Clark was one of the most influential people on television for many, MANY years. To report his death here isn't gossip at all.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks!
ReplyDeleteCondolences to his family and friends!
ReplyDeleteAnd not to sound disrespectful but I have no clue who this guy is. I doubt many people outside the US actually do.
I understand what you are saying,but for some of us Dick Clark brought a great deal of happiness and good times,he introduced music to millions of people,and it also taught millions of kids,teenagers and even parents how to dance. At least for me i am celebrating his life,not death.He made the world a much better place!
ReplyDeleteTotally, for me too. :)
ReplyDeleteA Legend has past. May He Rest in Peace. I grew up w/Dick Clark. Lived an hour away from Philadelphia. Ran home from school just to Dance w/Dick and the gang.
ReplyDeleteI have watched him since I was a kid in the late 50's and the 60's. He'll be missed but always remembered.
ReplyDeleteWhat sad news :( He'll be missed but always fondly remembered
