Awww, Jan Rubes- known to my flist as Daniel Jackson's grandfather Nick Ballard on SG1 and the coroner Dr. Mort Gustafson on Due South- just died. He was 89.

Aw. :(

I did not know he was an opera singer! And he won an award called the Earl Grey!

I hadn't either! I do love the fact there's an Earl Grey award though.

I've been thinking that Sam and Dean need to go investigate and deal with the grim reaper that's moving through the celebrity community....

They're dropping like flies.

It's getting a bit eerie, isn't it?

Hollywood isn't doing so great in these past couple of weeks.

All these really random memories of Due South just came flying back. I'm going to have to go watch that show again, aren't I?

maybe Most of them are netflixable, although I'll admit to not rewatching it recently

I haven't watched it since it was on TV.

I found some on You Tube and watched those and bought S1 when it was on a major Xmas sale and watched the Leslie Neilson one, but that's it. They cute, they're fun.. but....

I feel there are a lot of shows I need to rewatch now that I'm older and liable to remember more about them.

although there's always the risk that you'll find out it's horrible and you'll wonder what the hell you saw in it in the first place

Very true.

although sometimes some shows shine and wind up being better than you remember. I suppose. It's bound to happen at least once, right?

Right.

Although, sometimes, they're exactly the same as you remember them, and you still wonder why the hell you were so impressed.

and nostalgia. What fun

Most of the time.

when you're not wincing in pain

Yep.
