Fred Silverman, 82, of cancer.

Most Americans under 50 probably have no idea who this guy was, but trust me: he was at the helm of American pop culture, broadcast television primetime wing, in the 1970s and into the early 1990s.

The only person to ever oversee entertainment for three networks—CBS, ABC and NBC—Mr. Silverman was dubbed “the man with the golden gut” by Time magazine, for his ability to pick shows that would strike a chord with the audience.

At CBS, Mr. Silverman was instrumental in pivoting CBS away from safe programming aimed at rural America, such as “The Beverly Hillbillies,” “Hee Haw” and “Green Acres” to more contemporary fare, including “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “All in the Family” and “MAS*H.”

In 1975, Mr. Silverman moved to ABC, where his programming acumen soon lifted the network to new heights.he put programs such as put on the network included as “Charlie’s Angels,” “The Love Boat,” “Three’s Company” and “Fantasy Island.” He also greenlit the miniseries “Roots” and “Rich Man, Poor Man.”

Mr. Silverman moved to NBC as president of the network in 1978, but his time there was not nearly as successful as his stints at CBS and ABC. Many of the shows he ordered flopped, and he was eventually forced out.Still, even during that dark period of his career, Mr. Silverman made some big finds, including David Letterman. Mr. Silverman gave Mr. Letterman his first television job as a daytime host. While the show foundered, Mr. Silverman believed in Mr. Letterman and signed him to a deal that paved the way for his late-night career.

Andy Gill of Gang of Four. Seminal, ground-breaking band. One of my major influences when I first picked up a guitar.

Geez, was Gilligan really that bad?

GS has almost zero plot continuity, the characters are one dimensional, and they do the same gags every episode. What’s awesome about it is that it manages to be hilarious in spite of how bad it is. :2cents:

You tell me.

Love their music. :cry:

Okay, that is kind of cringy, but how about this fabulous dose of realism?

112

Lol I never said ‘Get Smart’ was realistic… just funny in a corny way. A lot of shows I enjoy aren’t realistic in the least.
