David Lloyd was one of those TV writers whose work spread across the history of television. He worked on shows ranging from The Tonight Show in the 60s to Frasier in the 90s and early 2000s.

Lloyd died last night after a long illness.

Lloyd had a part in many memorable TV shows over the years, as a writer and/or a producer, including Cheers, Wings, Taxi, Lou Grant, Rhoda, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, Phyllis, The Tony Randall Show, Dear John, The Dick Cavett Show, The Associates, The Best of the West, and many other shows.

Ober later moved behind the camera as a producer of the Comedy Central program "Mind of Mencia" and the CBS comedy "The New Adventures of Old Christine".

If I knew he was responsibel for Mind of Mencia I would have killed him myself.

"Breaker Morant" is a very underrated movie.

Stefanie Spielman, wife of Chris, died today, presumably of the cancer that was in remission. That's too bad. They did a lot to raise money for cancer research when he played here.

That is too bad. I had hoped she was going to beat it. What Chris did was a great example of how all husbands should behave in the face of a disease like that.

Maybe he'll come back and play for us again?

Didn't we have a thread for people you thought were already dead? I think we need one for people I thought would live forever.

When NBC News did the segue that announced that a religious figure had died. I immediately said "Billy Graham", and then added, "No, can't be. He's gotta be dead already." SR informed me after a quick google search that he is alive and the same age a Oral.
