A rough weekend

Ouch!
It was hard enough to cope with the loss of Barney Fife, Mr. Limpet and Mr. Chicken yesterday morning, but then I had to process the departure of (the real) Carl Kolchak and "The Old Man" from "A Christmas Story."

Honestly, this is more than we should be asked to bear all at once. It sort of makes Stuart Townsend's ill-fated Kolchak resurrection all the more difficult to stomach, doesn't it? (See my previous Kolchak posts here, here, here, here, and here.)
Goodby, Carl. So long, Deputy Fife. (*sniff*)
