Aaron Spelling.
I guess you can say this mega-producer is greatly responsible for shaping much of my youthful TV watching habits. From reruns of the Mod Squad, to S.W.A.T. (I know you are singing the theme song right now), to Starsky and Hutch, to Family, to Charlie's Angels, to Fantasy Island, to the Love Boat, to Vega$, to Hart to Hart, to Dynasty, to T.J. Hooker, to Nightingales, to Soapdish, to Melrose Place, to Beverly Hills 90210, to Models Inc., to Charmed... and that is only the TV series I watched of his.
Mr. Spelling understood his audience and what it took to keep them interested. often times flying in the face of the critics, he unleashed new hits that ran contrary to the formula one was used to seeing on television. And telelvision was forever changed and forever grateful to his insight. He will definitely be missed on the boob tube.
Speaking of boobs, Mr. Spelling is survived by his eBay-addicted trophy wife and his life-off-of-daddy's-name daughter, Tori Spelling. The both of which stand to inherit substanstial millions as he reportedly owned the largest residential property in California.
Rest in peace sir. You earned it.
