Harvey Korman passed away at the UCLA Medical Center from complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which he suffered over four months ago. The chemistry between Korman and Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett show, to me, made them the best comedic duo of the 60's/70's. I rate the two of them, together, higher than Laurel and Hardy or Abbot and Costello. "My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives." R.I.P. Mr. Korman. Thank you for many wonderful laughs and fun filled afternoons sitting in front of the TV. CNN Obit

Their reunion a few years back is one of the few shows I taped that I've watched repeatedly. So sad to hear it'll never be the four of them again.

RIP The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

He directed episodes and sometimes continued to appear as Eunice's husband. I was just watching an episode he directed yesterday. RIP, Mr. Korman. Thanks for the laughs.

Yeah, he was an actor, and he was paid, but if you think about it, he wasn't paid nearly enough. How many of us were having bad days and he brightened them that night just by allowing himself to see the absurdity and lunacy of Tim Conway, or Carol Burnette and cut loose. He wasn't supposed to laugh, it wasn't in the script, but he did. And because he did people all over the world laughed as well. That is the mark of a great entertainer. Not showing your private parts to jump start your career, or foul language which i can hear anywhere, even from myself at times, but genuine joy and entertainment something that spun out of control and made us laugh. Drama is just the parts you sit through for the comedy. Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops! Something pithy!
