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.

I always heard celebrity deaths come in threes.
I never saw them come so quickly and so concentrated in a sub-segment of the entertainment industry like this though.
I guess all the other old and ailing TV stars can breathe easier for now - until the next set of threes start.
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.
TVLand is doing an Andy and Don Knotts marathon tonight and coming up during the week. Yep. Threes.
