So long Bellamy... sorry you never got that share of gold and it went to Kelly and the Germans... (AKA he did more than Seinfeld; stupidest show in the history of television)

Yeah, he was also the guy who thought he had caught himself the Josey Wales.

I don't know how I never realized this. RIP.

One of my favorite Sienfeld episodes was when Uncle Leo burned off his eyebrows.

Yeah, pretty much. It's like all this talk about The Beatles. Just a bunch of stupid noise. And those Godfather movies? Amateurish. And don't even get me started on that Shakespeare fella!

Never got into it, never saw the appeal of it.

That's fair. And sorry, it's just that I'm a big fan :D

Never cared for Michael Richards, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss adds nothing -- I am a big Jason Alexander fan -- but Jerry Seinfeld... I just never saw the appeal.

OK, got it.
 
Slappy, I loathe you.

I loved the episode when Uncle Leo stole books from the bookstore and Jerry saw him do it, so he tried to tech him a lesson by scaring him with police. Then security actually arrested him and Jerry felt bad and said, "Hello?" Then a somber Uncle Leo said, "Hello..."

There are a lot of reasons to loathe me -- my not liking an unfunny show is not one of them.
 
The guy has an amazing list of credits: All in the Family, The Wild, Wild West, The Monkees, The Bob Newhart Show, the original Dragnet, Gunsmoke and of course, Sorority Girls and the Creature from Hell. If you are a TV junkie its worth a look.
RIP.
