| #1 Posted on 27.3.02 1849.35 Reposted on: 27.3.09 1850.05 | Another great comic has passed away today as Milton Berle died just a few hours ago at the age of 93. Altough not known by many that use the board, he single handenly boosted Television from "crazy invention" to the house hold item we cherish today.
My personal favorite moment from him was when he guest stared on The Critic and they used him as the leathal ninja who foiled the bombing plans...
You will be missed Uncle Miltie

| #4 Posted on 28.3.02 0029.22 Reposted on: 28.3.09 0034.10 | I was very saddened by Uncle Miltie's passing, along with the passing of Dudley Moore. Mainly because I had both of them in my dead pool last year, but took both of them off my list for this year. Inconsiderate bastards. | Ffej

| #9 Posted on 29.3.02 1947.40 Reposted on: 29.3.09 1959.07 | it must be the generation gap, because i didn't think he was all that, but my dad [he's 72] was saddened to hear that miltie died...
maybe it would be the same for us like if robin williams, or chris rock, or jim carrey died like some 50 years from now, and we'll all go, shit, that was one funny dude, thanks for the memories...
but, RIP anyway, i hope to live as long as he did... | WTF13
