Someone please explain to me how Peter Graves doesn't warrant a headline (in the news feed I read), but Corey Haim does -- for days? WTFF?

Damn. Still one of my favorite shows. Still watch it on Saturday night reruns.

Thank you so much for the Mission: Impossible opening. Lalo Schifrin's jaunty theme was the first thing on my mind when I got the news (over Twitter, natch) of Mr. Graves' demise.

Your TRW credit report will self-destruct in five seconds.

Right now, it's No. 1 in the Chicago Tribune "Most viewed." I think you probably didn't see a headline because the news had just hit.
