RIP Markie Post

[exmediahack]

Remember hearing how she started out working as a staffer on game shows, eventually was one of the card turners on Card Sharks and when she became an actress was the celebrity you ABSOLUTELY wanted as your partner on $20,000 Pyramid. She was nails.

I would have paid $25,000 for Markie Post to hug me like that. In 1985 dollars.

Even $10,000.

Was that the same contestant who won big on Jackie Rogers Jr’s $100,000 Jackpot Wad?

Damn she brought many smiles to this little kid in The Fall Guy and the NightCourt. May she RIP. WAY TOOOO YOUNG.

Just saw NBC is bringing back Night Court... with John Larroquette.

Do they still owe him a sitcom from that show that took place in the bus station?

I thought maybe she’d died again, like Leslie Nielsen.

Rereading this thread, he may be the only major cast member left.

Richard Moll is still with us.

Found a clip, there's a minute I'll never get back. What made the original great, among so many things, was how it was shot to look dark and dirty. Ya know, night court. But a network sitcom today has to look bright and happy.

Richard Moll is still with us.

So is Marsha Warfield

I thought the bus station sitcom was brilliant. As much as I like Melissa Rauch, this looks like it is going to swim around the bathos end of the pool. Just not feeling it and I hope I'm wrong.
