ANyone else saddened by the death of Wilson?
The neighbour from home improvement died of lung cancer...I think his real name was Hindman.

Yes, it's a sad event--RIP Wilson!

7. Thanks for the memories...
Wilson, always obscuring himself (his soul, his viewpoint), was an interesting aspect of the sitcom, which otherwise had little redeeming value beyond comic relief. I have little respect for most characters in the series, nor for its less ingenious players who capitalized on the show's popularity; Tim Allen in particular. Wilson's character always transcended the mundane and will continue universally in other players. We suppose he was a nice guy from his act, but only his close friends and family have the right to mourn his passing. The rest of us knew him not.

2. Yup.
I love Home Improvement and he was great in that show. He will be sorely missed.

3. You scared me
I thought you were talking about "thee" Wilson (as in "there's no yellowcake uranium from Niger" Wilson). Although, I'm sorry about the Home Inprovement guy nonetheless.
