Posted on by

Modern classic TV diginet getTV’s new “Primetime is Crimetime” lineup premieres tomorrow. The 5-hour block airs weeknights from 6-11PM Eastern, featuring Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer, Starsky & Hutch, a double dose of Charlie’s Angels and Hart to Hart.

Although we’re just halfway through January, we’ve already lost a number of classic TV friends this month:

  • Actor John Reilly (daytime soap veteran, guested on Hawaii Five-O, Kojak, The Mary Tyler Moore Show)
  • Peter Mark Richman (veteran character actor, appeared on 100+ shows including Bonanza, The Fugitive, The Twilight Zone…best known for his role as Chrissy’s dad Reverend Snow on Three’s Company)
  • Actress Tanya Roberts (Charlie’s Angels, later That 70’s Show)
  • Joanne Rogers (widow of legendary children’s host Fred Rogers)

Rest in peace…

We also just lost Phyllis George (co-host of The NFL Today back in the 1970s) and actor Fred Willard (film and TV character actor, known for his classic TV work on Fernwood Tonight/America 2-Night and Real People). Rest in peace.
