Oh geez.

You nailed it Biss. "A Christmas Story" will be on TV later this year and we'll see the "old man", one of the most "feared furnace-fighters in Northern Indiana" in fine form once again.

Darren McGavin, great actor.

Man, I got the DVD of "A Christmas Story" for Christmas a couple of years ago. One of the greatest films of all time. Sorry to see him go.

I think we can expect to see an Andy Griffith Show marathon weekend sometime soon on the TV Land channel. It would be great if they, or one of the other cable channels, would do likewise with The Night Stalker. I haven't seen that series on TV in ages.

Darn.

Night Stalker was my favorite, but he did a damn good tv movie in the 70's about two countries sending a single representative to conduct war. He even did a couple of X-Files..

One of my mother's favorite actors so much so she named me after him.
RIP Darren! S!

Aw crap. I remember seeing a bunch of great flicks with him in the 70s.
He also was a guest on one episode of the X-Files. Although he wasn't named "Kolchak", there's no doubt that's who he was playing.

Night Stalker was awsome, but he was immortalized in a Christmas Story. RIP.

Oh man, not another legend gone. Night Stalker used to give me nightmares back in the day, and I probably know every line from A Christmas Story by heart.

RIP Mr. McGavin... \:\(

Night Stalker was the first in-production TV show that I ever got hooked on...

X-Files was the last.

RIP.
