God Speed Mr Spelling.
Hey folks,
The great and creative mind that brought us entertainment like "Charlie's Angels" {One of my Favorite shows of all time}, "Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," {Another favorite} "Burke's Law," "The Mod Squad," "Starsky and Hutch,"{Yup, Loved that one too} "T.J. Hooker," "Matt Houston," "Hart to Hart" and "Hotel", "Melrose Place", "Dynasty", "7th Heaven" and "Summerland", has been silenced, but never forgotten.
Aaron Spelling died Friday, June 23rd, at his Los Angeles mansion after suffering a stroke on June 18, according to publicist Kevin Sasaki. He was 83.
To say theat he "left an indelible stamp on American pop culture" is an understatement. He was a man that truly understood the need of entertainment. Even if the critics didn’t agree. I find it amazing that he never won the critical acclaim he sought. Is there anyone else that could boast his success?
I love the fact that he was more concerned about the fans than he was the critics. He once said,
"The knocks by the critics bother you. But you have a choice of proving yourself to 300 critics or 30 million fans. I think you're also categorized by the critics. If you do something good they almost don't want to like it."
Yes Mr Spelling, even if your critics will not, be assured that you fans will miss you greatly. God speed Mr. Spelling. May his family have peace.
