Man I can't believe this. He was the best comedian of all time to me. WOW!!!
This is so sereal.
Rather than mourn Mr. Carlin's passing, I prefer instead to celebrate his life and the contributions he made to three generations of people who truly needed a reason to laugh. He will be missed, but his innovative comedy will continue to keep us in good spirits for generations to come.
I believe we were fortunate to have Mr. Carlin as long as we did. Too often, brilliant careers are cut tragically short, and we lose our best and brightest stars before they have a chance to really shine. John Belushi, Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, John Lennon, Princess Diana and others ... every now and then we find someone the world truly needs, and we feel good just knowing these people are among us, doing what they do best. Then, when we feel safe and content, when we're looking forward to their next performance or appearance, we pick up our morning paper and learn that the star we set our gaze upon has fallen from the sky to glitter no more. We might cut the announcement out of the paper and save it for reasons we can't explain at the time, but it makes us feel closer to that person somehow because they were a part of our lives.
I don't know if Mr. Carlin knew when his time had come but, if he did, I'm sure he made a joke about it. Even back in the seventies, when he was at his most controversial, he never took himself, or anyone else, seriously. He joked about his arrests, his heart attack and his bypass surgery. Whenever something "bad" happened to him, he found a way to turn it into a joke so that WE would have something else to laugh about.
I'd like to close this eulogy by listing the original "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television." However, out of respect for time*treat and her blog, I won't list them here. Instead, I'll encourage anyone who wants to know what those words are to buy the record. I promise you won't be sorry - it's hilarious.
I guess all that's left to say is ... Thanks for everything, George ... See ya when I get there.

Archie Bunker was the second best.
Now I have to live with crap like "who hates Raymond", and "enemies"....I mean friends. Those shows suck crap wad.
Anyway, I'm glad to see there were responses here because he was brilliant.
