Rest In Peace, Carl Reiner
Carl Reiner passed away last night, at the age of 98, reportedly from natural causes. May he rest in peace. The main thing I (and probably a great many other people) will remember him for is The Dick Van Dyke Show, where he played Alan Brady.
Reading his filmography, I see that he was in an episode of Night Gallery. I’ve probably seen his segment of it, since they’ve been having marathons of that on Comet every Saturday, from 9 AM to 12:30 PM. He was apparently in the episode of Faerie Tale Theater that focused on Pinocchio, back in 1984. Reiner was Geppetto, and Paul Reubens was Pinocchio.
It’s been decades since I’ve seen it, so I may need to rewatch that particular episode.

Sad that The Alan Brady Show is cancelled, but it was a great run! :)
