Cheer up, Chief - if the networks have proven one thing, it's that they know how to produce epic quantities of bad tv. I'm sure there will be no shortage of it despite the loss of Mr. Cannell.

Although I did kinda like that little ending thing he did at the end of each of his shows where he'd be typing something and then yank it from the typewriter and it would become his company logo... that was clever.

These things always happen in threes, so if I was Glen A. Larson or Michael Mann, I would have the nitroglycerin pills handy and not leave the house.
