By the by....Conrad Baine, the whitey who played the loving father to two Afro American kids, kicked the bucket yesterday.
Minor hijack, but is it not ironic that Todd Bridges, he of the hardcore crack addiction who was once tried for the murder of a drug dealer - is the last man standing.
Now the sole survivor of the show's core cast -- Dana Plato committed suicide in 1999, and Gary Coleman died after falling down a flight of stairs in 2010 -- Bridges says he'll miss the man who was his surrogate father both on and off the screen.
I guess Mrs. Garrett doesn't count since she left them to go hand with them snooty bitches who wanted to learn about the facts of life. She's still alive and kicking.
