BREAKING: TV Host Gary Collins DEAD at 74!

RIP

Why is The Sixth Sense never re-run?

RIP, drunken rightwing douche.

I heard Mary Ann Mobley obtained diving certification just to survive his DUI tours.

Shimply trag-hic.

Please people. Have some respect. It is always sad when someone once handsome dies.

Why there could even be someone on this board that at one time masturbated to his image.

Think of them if not poor Gary.

He tried to kill a Charlie's Angel at least once.

Tom Daley was her diving coach.

OP, LIVER DISEASE is classified as a "natural cause"...

R1, "The Sixth Sense" only ran one season - not enough episodes to warrant a re-run or syndication

In blowdry 70s, he was smoking hot in that Jameson Parker way...

What an asshole. I wonder if he had alzheimers and was self medicating

Dead drunky.

It's amazing he made it to 74.

He was a Repug.

The Emmy Award Winning Gary Collins.

Sixth Sense was an hour drama hacked to pieces to accomodate Night Gallery's half hour running time in syndication. It's a legitimate question. Night Gallery also had an hour long timeslot and some of its shorter stories are heavily padded with stock footage in syndication. But Night Gallery has been released on DVD in its original form at least.

He got a DUI 4 yrs ago at 4 times the legal limit! He would've had to down 10 to 12 drinks an hour to register .29. Imagine being as drunk as you've ever been (and it probably wasn't as drunk as he was) and then getting behind the wheel of a car. What an asshole.

Anyone remember...

da da da da da da [bold] HOUR MAGAZINE! [/bold]

Was he separated from Mary Ann Mobley?

R14 I would see those mutilated Sixth Sensers on Night Gallery and get so irritated!

R17, read the link.

You can kind of excuse adult drunk drivers from that era since the perils of drinking and driving weren't popularized until the 1970s.

I'll never forget when He hosted Miss America Bert Parks made an appearance and was treated very badly by Collins...

He and Mary Ann were frequent guests on that 70s game show which featured married couples. One of the partners would wear headphones while the other one answered questions about their relationship. I can't remember the name of it. I think it was hosted by Bert Convy.

I remember Gary Collins did a few British mystery shows which were always aired late night on ABC.

I was always a bit of an insomniac, so I was always up late, even though I had to get up early for school at the time, I recall being up until 2 or 3AM watching the late night ABC line up. They also showed "The Avengers" every night!

There was no late night news at that time, though I think Charlie Rose did have a late night live news show with three other anchors, Felicia Jeter, who was really good and Ii wonder what happened to her. I think the other guy's last name was Dowd and the other woman I can't remember her name.

Anyway, in this ABC/British series series, Collins always played a guy scheming to marry a wealthy woman, then kill her. Wish I could could remember the name of this series, I definitely know they were filmed in Britain. IIRC, his wife also appeared in one of the shows with him.

I was certain he was dead already. I though Todd Bridges was the only surviving Diff'rent Strokes kid.

I think I remember those R23. Didn't Joanna Pettet do one too?

So handsome when he was younger

What was legendary about him?

Tattletales, R22. What a silly, fun show.

He was in Saved by the Bell, not Different Strokes

I condole Mary Ann Mobley.

Father Reginald Dempsey has requested that the candles surrounding the coffin at the funeral Mass be left unlit.

Just in case.

I am desolate. I have had a cold for three days, and this has set back my recovery by at least ten minutes.

Dolls?

I saw them recently on youtube but the guy's account has been closed.

The series was called 'Thriller'.

It seems there are still a whole bunch of them on YT...not sure if the G. Collins one is one of them though.

Tattletales. I remember Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall, as well as Bobby Van and Elaine Joyce also being frequent guests on that show.

At the time of his death, Gary had an even smaller penis than he possessed in his youth. Often one saw stains in his psnts crotch that looked like he had spilt a drink, but most often he had simply pissed his pants.

Charles Nelson Reilly was also on Tattletales -- with his "girlfriend."

At least his family can save on the embalming.

Who?

The Wackiest Ship In The Army.

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

Sad

So, someone with a fetish for Gary Collins and Black men with very large penises is bumping very old threads BECAUSE???

tell me this isn't true!

We are in TV heaven now.

I am in complete shock.

He won an Emmy for hosting Hour Magazine.

Only 74? Really? Back in the 1970s he looked like he was in his 50s.

I thought he was hot back in his "Sixth Sense" days. He still looks yummy in reruns.

I didn't see this coming. I thought he was doing so well.

Mary Ann Mobley,

We condole you.

I will get out the Ouija board and send your condolences to Mary Ann seeing as see died two years after Gary.

Thank you, send her please my love.

First Rene, then this...

I hope he went in 60 minutes, that would be ironic.

He was such an average soul. Am I wrong? Correct me if so.

Yup.

R15, really? Was he part Native American or Inuit? Who else could keep it going with that BAC? Someone check his background. Irish had to be in there for sure. Any human would be in a coma with those BAC levels. And he would have been a senior at 70. Holy shit!

You know what, people? I think I see some shovel shaped teeth lurking in R8 early photo. No pure white person could pull off those BA levels especially at that age. No way.

Why the fuck was this thread bumped?

he sang, "miss america"

He looked gorgeously up until the end.
