So the new Doug series on Disney, based on Up, may have been one of his last, if not his last?

 

Crazy he was only 40 when The Mary Tyler Moore Show came on the air. He looked a lot older than that. Somewhat shocked he was only 91.

RIP, Ed.  A lesser known role but he fucking nails it:

What's crazy is that a 91 year-old man was not old enough to have served in WWII.

FFS, I can remember a 90 year-old I knew as a kid who served in WWI.  Little did I know I'd wind up on a sports forum that he also posts on, making jokes about his age.

91 is a good run.  RIP.

Yep. What’s weird is that when I was a kid watching the MTM show he first struck me as tough and it took me a while to figure out that Lou Grant was actually a softy. I remember watching the Lou Grant show but don’t remember much about it. I’ve seen him in a lot of different things. He’s always solid. I remember thinking the premise for Up was stupid and I wasn’t interested. Then I watched it at my sister’s place over the holidays. That was brilliant.

RIP, Ed. It's a Long Way to Tipperary.

He never mailed it in. Not in a single scene. A pro's pro. If Oliver Stone ever wanted to release a director's cut of JFK just featuring scenes with Asner and Jack Lemmon I'd buy it. A master class in acting.

The man was talented. He flipped Lou Grant from a small market, wisecracking, not so bright TV news boss to a savvy, hard core, major market newspaper editor and never missed a beat. Loved him in The Boondocks.

Sad day! Terrific actor. 

One of my favorites of his that I watch every Christmas, The Gathering.

Betty the only one remaining from MTM?  

John Amos is still with us.

(Cue someone to come along saying he wasn’t in enough episodes.)

Never seen The Mary Tyler Moore show, but I've had it in my queue on Hulu forever waiting to watch it.  One of the classics I've never seen I've been meaning to get around to.  I think I'll finally pull the trigger and start watching it.

Decades is running a MTM Show binge this weekend in tribute to Ed Asner instead of the scheduled Dean Martin Celebrity Roast binge.
