Ermes Effron Borgnine, RIP

95, lived a good life, good Italian Catholic from CT. I’m glad he didn’t change his name into some waspy name like: Brad, Dillon or Blake...

so, they die in 3’s, Andy Griffith was first, now Ernest, I wonder who is next?

[justiceseeker93]

I heard whispers that Ernest Borgnine was a rare conservative in Hollywood, but never really came out of the proverbial "closet" as such.

Nothing in the posted obit indicates this at all.

[Viking2002]

RIP, Cabbie..............

I thought one of best TV lines ever:

McHales Navy, Ep1 Season 1

Capt. Binghamton pointing to a wall map
of the “Taratua Island” area is explaining his
command “is surrounded by “Japs”, but none of that
mattered...., because he knew exactly where McHale was
located” !

RIP.

Gee...I just saw him being interviewed on TV last week...didn’t seem the least bit old or sick....what an amazing guy. He had a huge smile.

[Strk321]

That’s sad. I knew he was going to go one of these days, but even so...

A lot of people on FR are baby boomers who automatically associate Mr. Borgnine with McHale’s Navy, although younger folk like myself will mostly remember him because of Spongebob and his appearance on a Simpsons episode. That video of him explaining why he didn’t watch Brokeback Mountain was hilarious. “I didn’t care to see it because I’m more interested in seeing women than I am in men. I mean, I got nothing against men. But you know, to each his own.”

So, since people always die in threes, I wonder who’s next since him and Andy Griffith went.

[xzins]

For whatever reason, Borgnine was in the sermon yesterday morning in a brief tie-in...had to do with a role he played as “Jonathon” an angel in a Little House on the Prairie episode called “The Lord is my Shepherd”.

Like all of Michael Landon’s shows, this was a heartwarmer, but this one moreso even than normal.

Borgnine was perfect in the role. RIP, Commander McHale; I hope the angel role is yours for keeps.

[tarawa]

I remember a story Tim Conway told just a couple of years ago. There was a reunion for the McHale’s Navy cast, and nobody had seen Borgnine in a while. He showed up after everyone else had gotten there, and everyone was shocked when he had to be helped out of the car by the driver and was walking really slow with a pair of canes. About halfway to the rest of the group, he straightened up, threw away the canes and said “come on guys, you really gonna believe that?” Even in his early 90s, he was a joker...

[BlueLancer]

I could just scream ...

Why is it me? Why is it always me?

[BigEdLB]

RIP. Tim Conway Jr show will be interesting tonight (Los Angeles-KFI640-7PM) Tim Jr will probably have his dad on to talk about this.

[ColdOne]

Dang.
