POLL: What was the most astounding news today? Cash? Ritter? Letterman?

It's actually quite reassuring to see the responses. Thanks to syndication, all of us in the 24-30 age group saw Three's Company growing up and became good friends with Jack Tripper. I thought he was the coolest, nicest guy when I was young - I used to WISH I could be their neighbors.

He's one of those people who's great personality came out on the screen. He's supposedly a great person and was definitely funny as hell. I feel like a relative died, you know.
 
cash was old and in poor health. his death was sad, but not too surprising.
i don't think many people knew letterman's fatherhood status before today, and if asked most people would probably assume he already had children.
john ritter, however, was (relatively) young and experiencing a revival of his career. i think his death was by far the most astounding of the three stories.

hmm...i'm only 20 and i grew up watching three's company (reruns in Taiwan). I don't like your age generalizations...

heh..j/k.
 
Ritter was a total surprise. Cash was old and sort of expected. Letterman having a kid? People have kids all the time.

Yeah. I just assumed that Letterman had already had kids. Cash's death was far from unexpected.
 
i'm goin with ritter.. cash, although a legend, wasn't a big supprise to me.. i heard that john ritter died on the radio this morning, and couldn't sleep again...
 
If you live on the east coast there's another untimely death. Sean Kimberling (sp), the sportscaster for WB11 news (which I watch almost every day) died. What makes it even more unsettling is that the guy was 37, and he looked like he could be 27.

Keith Olbermann did a nice tribute to that guy yesterday on his show. He was an intern for Olbermann in the past I think they said. I'd never heard of him before since he's a local guy, but it was a sad story.
