He made it to 98. I'm disappointed to discover that he's not going to live forever.

I'm amazed he made it this long. I guess there is karma in cancel culture.

Never cared for him. Not going to miss him.

 

Do you admire Carl Reiner? He impressed me as a person very much a legend in his own mind. I never liked his work at all, my parents who were religious TV watchers also were repulsed by the DVD show. They didn't buy in to the representation of the 'Camelot' life which really didn't exist for most people. Reiner was a in-crowder who being anointed got a gold star for anything he touched. Much like Adam Sandler, I just don't and never did 'get it'.

The rest of the cast put together did not and could not equal the contribution and impact Rose Marie had on entertainment in the last century, and I give Reiner credit due or not as producer for including her presence which cast a huge shadow over the others in the show and must have bolstered it's legitimacy then, in and out of the industry.

 

Anybody ever hear about not speaking ill of the dead? Jeez.

I'll miss him, anyway. RIP Carl. At least we still have Mel.

 

Another Hollywood elitetes gone!

 

Not to mention Dick Van Dyke himself, who is still with us at age 93.

 

RIP Carl, you made us laugh...

 

One of the last of the greatest. RIP

 

Funny Man!
