kenz 0 #1 August 9, 2008 After a battle with pneumonia Bernie Mac died I think last night. That's pretty crappy - He's hilarious and always had great timing and relatability in comedy. Rest in Peace - keep them laughing till we all get there."life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit to add: GMA did a story on Bernie BRILLSTEIN that died.A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenz 0 #8 August 9, 2008 ok i know i'm not making it up - they talked about his show the bernie mac show, charlie's angels and that he was leaving behind a wife and a daughter - i'm just relaying what was on the news - and they showed pictures of Bernie MAC - so i don't know what else to tell you, it's what was on their broadcast this morning - i'm not arguing i'm just telling you i know what i saw - i don't know why they would report it on national news if it didn't happen- however it wouldn't be the first time major networks have screwed stuff up - i hope that you're right and he is responding well, but i'm just saying it said today that he died"life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I liked that show he had where he had those kids. I guess it was "The Bernie Mac Show"? It was funny.

rwieder 0 #13 August 10, 2008 Bernie, i watched your television series when i could, your scripts made me smile and laugh. I especially liked your monologue at the end of the show. Now, you "Broke on through to the other side" I'll just bet you keeping the angels in stitches. Your life touched so many. You are gone now, but not forgotton. God bless your soul, and R.I.P. I'll see you when i get there!-Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbrown 26 #14 August 10, 2008 I'm so bummed, I loved that guy. Loved his TV show too. Used to tell my wife and kids to pay attention to what he was saying, that he was MY kind of father figure. On the bright side, heaven just got funnier. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
