What kind of TV role models do kids have nowdays anyway?

Did you know that he was a war hero?

How sad. I watched his show religously when I was younger.

He will be missed.

Good question, anyone watch PBS lately?

Is Ramblin' Rod still alive? For some reason I recall he passed away last year?

Nope.. Yep, he died a while back.. 🙁

That's what I mean... even though he was local, all the older generations' great TV role models are dying off... I guess I probably don't watch enough childrens programming anymore, but.. are there new people like them?
