Total class act. Republican and one of the nicest men anyone could ever meet. RIP Merv. We are rapidly losing a generation that was so filled with class that the word “class” will only be known 20 yrs from now as something you go to in school.

My mom always watched his show and that means I did at times. He seemed like a nice guy. What is so amazing is that he took hangman and trivia and made millions. Sometimes the best ideas are right under our noses.

Freddy Martin & His Orchestra, with Merv Griffin

PS: That's kind of an interesting album:

Flaky Forties

And it would be difficult to compare that album with, say, this television ad, and not come to the conclusion that something has gone terribly wrong with our society in the intervening six decades:

BET's Disturbing "Read a Book" video

Perhaps the last true innovator in the television/entertainment industry. RIP, Merv.

I think a part of all of us just died. He was a class act. RIP Merv.

I wonder if Deny Terrio will be at the funeral?

RIP. Another part of my childhood gone.

I feel another loss of that innocence of a childhood gone by. I would be allowed to stay up late by Mommma to watch Merv’s show. Always funny and classy.

Why must we lose this wonderful legacy to a horde of Leftists who are taught that it’s hip to hate?

Merv's death came a year and change after Mike Douglas's.

Mike (on Ch. 3), Merv (on Ch. 6), and Dinah Shore (on Ch. 10) were opposite each other on Philadelphia television in the second half of the '70s (my HS years). Now they are all together again. RIP Merv, Mike, and Dinah. I look forward to meeting you someday.
