And now, McCloud, too?!?!

This has been a tough weekend for vintage TV Hollywood. Now, Dennis Weaver is gone, too.

I watched McCloud with my mom all the time. Loved those NBC Mystery Movies. McCloud, McMillian and Wife, Columbo...

Adios, McCloud. Happy trails to ya.

Dennis Weaver, 1924-2006

He died too?

I remember watching McCloud when I was too young - but we were at my mum's uncle's house and they let me :) I was seated on the lap of my mum's cousin - who kind of looked like McCloud himself. Possibly that's what I remember best...

Keith - I know, I was thinking the same thing. I can't help but say I was wondering who the third would be last night, but I was still pretty surprised at how fast it came this time! (Someone somewhere won big on the celebrity death pool this morning...)

Scholiast - my mom always loved McCloud because he reminded her of the cowboys she knew when she was a little girl on her grandparents homestead/cattle ranch in the 1920s. I guess from my mom I have this warm spot in my heart for cowboys to this day. :-)

It's so weird to be old enough that I remember these people when they weren't old. Creepy. Hail and farewell, McCloud.
