Very sad. :(

My very favorite episodes of Cheers were the ones in which he appeared. Enjoyed his other roles as well.

:rip:

Joining Flo and Selma ...

No!

At least we got some Night Court closure on 30 Rock.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

Sad to hear this. Night Court was a great show, and Anderson seemed perpetually youthful.

Oh fuck that sucks. I adored Night Court. He was the best :(

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

I have family in Asheville and got to meet him a number of times. A very nice, down to earth guy.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

Yes, shocked to read this... Night Court was a great, and very underrated show, and Harry Anderson was excellent in it. He did indeed seem perpetually younger than his real age, so hard to believe he would pass away so soon. He did seem to keep a pretty low professional profile after NC went off the air, and was apparently not much for the trappings of being a TV celebrity. RIP.

Aw, damn. :sad: Hadn't heard until I clicked into the forum. 65 is way too young!

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

He was great on Night Court and I also enjoyed him on Dave's World.

Everyone's dropping like flies.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

it was so cool and always breezy. too bad.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

I absolutely loved Night Court. It always made me laugh. Every time. Plus Markie Post.

RIP Harry Anderson :(

This past week took Milos Forman, Art Bell, R. Lee Ermey, and now Harry Anderson from us. It's 2016 all over again :(

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

Night Court was an absolute favorite as a kid. Far too young to lose someone like that.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

One day, not too far in the future, you will be ones of those flies.
As will I, and everyone else here.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

Damn :(

Like Harry Anderson and his character Judge Stone Night Court was pure magic.

Damn is right. :( :rip:

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

Sad to read of his passing. I'm guessing "Natural Causes" is probably a heart attack or stroke.

I never watched Night Court religiously back when it aired, but I did see it every now and then and found it funny.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

:(

Horrible.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

Loved Night Court, especially the Ellen Foley eps. Sad to see him go.

He was also in the original It miniseries in a rare serious role.

Surprised that John Larroquette outlived him.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

Never got to see Night Court, but loved all of his appearances on Cheers.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

What's crazy to me is that I LOVED him on Cheers and I looked at his bio and he was only on it 6 times. And one of those was the punchline on the last season. I would have thought he was on it a dozen times easily. He was so strong and memorable in his performances.

He really made his mark as the stand-up filler on SNL in the early 80s which got him the Cheers gig in the first place. Ironically he performed more on SNL than he did on Cheers.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

I'm so sad about this. As someone above said, we already lost Art Bell this week, and now Harry Anderson. Broken hearted

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

In my head canon, "Harry the Hat" was Harry Stone visiting Boston.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

R.I.P.

Was Night Court a spin-off of Cheers?

I thought it would live on in syndication but I don't know if any networks airs the episodes.

Re: RIP Harry Anderson
 

No, but his appearances on Cheers almost certainly was a factor in him getting the lead in the show, and Night Court was the companion show to Cheers for most of Cheers' run.
