Sid Caesar, The King of Comedy Has Died
Wednesday, February 12, 2014 by DrJBHL | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Sid Caesar was perhaps the funniest comedian of his generation.
He founded the role of comedy in sitcoms in the then B&W infant television. He was born to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents who ran a diner. He taught himself comedy and went on the Catskill Circuit. He was married to his wife Florence for 67 years. She passed away in 2010.
That's why I put that picture up...that was Sid getting a TVLand Award at age 83...back in 2006.
Today he's left the stage...and everything just got a good bit grayer, duller and sadder.
May your memory be blessed, Sid.

He was a very funny man. We "oldies" grew up with Sid Caesar, Red Buttons, Milton Beryl, Johnny Carson, and a host of others. The beginning of television and some of the very best programs were long ago, not now. I seldom watch TV, my preference I know, but to me most of it is junk.
