RIP
Is Betty White the only one still alive from MTM? I never watched the show I remember Ed mostly from his role as a retired stock car driver in this obscure sitcom Thunder Alley(which also starred Haley Joel Osment as his grandson). |

One of those guys I grew up watching, from primetime viewing of his Lou Grant on MTM with my parents to his later Lou Grant in the one hour drama.
He became a bit a 9/11 conspiracy nutjob later in life, but a really enjoyable actor to watch over the years.

| Great actor. He was even effective recently as William Zabka's irascible and terrible stepfather in the Cobra Kai series, in some limited scenes. |

Last member of the MTM show's main cast to pass away. Didn't realize Gavin McLeod just passed four months ago.
This was from an article back in 2019:
| Quote: | | “Keep your mind active,” the Lou Grant star — who turns the big 9-0 on November 15 — exclusively shared with Closer at the event on Sunday, November 3. He referred to his secrets to living a long and prosperous life, including “working, reading, being with people who can excite you, sexual.” |
