Not hard to tell that Dick Clark has had a stroke.

Kinda sad. We thought he'd be 30 forever.

Hopes for a wonderful New Year to all of you.

1. It was sad watching him.

2. Maybe they should have given the guy a break.

Poor guy. Bless him, though.

3. I give him all the credit I can for going back to work. No disrespect

at all implied by my post.

He still looks good; just doesn't sound too great.

I've never been afraid of anything in my life, but the prospect of a stroke gives me the willies.

4. I know, this guy kept kicking for years.

Poor guy just sound awful, though. He is still fighting, that's for sure.

5. It's about money. They'd rather SEE him break.

Hollywood and (business in general) is replete with such disgusting examples. When John Ritter died, ABC was shoveling up the tears as if there was no tomorrow. Then they moved a halfway decent show to the death slot so it could quietly die too.

If you want spurious morality; our media is the first and best place you should look at. Politicians are actually worse, but they aren't nearly as entertaining. Unless you vote for an actor, of course, which is what people seem to want... same shit but handed out by a true professional; acting IS about proving to your audience you're not why you say you are (aka 'lying').

6. Hey, HT: Happy New Year.

Cheer up. If only for one night.

You'll be glad you did.

7. Well the show really couldn't go on

without Ritter.
