You may have heard from the news or from Nolanator’s comment, but the actor Stanley Kamel, most famous for his role on Monk as Dr. Charles Kroger, passed away at his home Tuesday. He suffered from a heart attack and will be missed by his co workers. How Monk will be affected is yet to be determined. He was 65 years of age when he passed.
No, I’m not saluting the custodians of the every day work force, I’m saluting the character off of Scrubs, who never fails to deliver classic lines like the ones below and still torment J.D.. The Janitor is a hillarious character, and is still yet to have a name. He has several inventions like the hovering vacuum, and knife-wrench. He is a hillarious yet mysterious character, and one I enjoy watching on Scrubs. So to the Janitor, I salute you!
One of the greatest television short series of all time is without a doubt The Three Stooges, anyone who disagrees with me is wrong. Flat out, that’s the truth, you are wrong. It should be listed in the science books under a list of things that are impossible as “Not laughing at The Three Stooges.” There have several iterations of this comedy trio of the millenium, including random combinations of Moe Howard, Curly Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard, Joe Besser, Curly Joe DeRita, and Emil Sitka, the most famous combination being Moe, Larry, and Curly. All of the stooges are deceased, and are sorely missed. They have appeared in multiple media, from Scooby Doo to the classic 30 minute shorts. There is a museum in the United States dedicated to The Three Stooges, and there will be a movie made by The Farelly Brothers in 2009. And I am just going to say it now, they better not mess it up. I promise, if they do, I will boycott that movie. OK, maybe I won’t but I will badmouth it like they’ve never been badmouthed before! These few men more than defined slapstick, and will forever be known by myself and my family. I love this trio, and I salute them.
