Richie Rich Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Ken OberKen Ober, who hosted the 1980s MTV game show Remote Control and helped produce the shows Mind of Mencia and The New Adventures of Old Christine, has died. He was 52.http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2009-11-17-ober-obit_N.htmANDEdward Woodward (The Equalizer)Edward Woodward, star of the iconic 1980s U.S. TV series The Equalizer, has died at the age of 79 after a long illness.Woodward was best known for portraying stolid, highly principled characters who stood up for the defenseless and needy. His most prominent role for U.S. viewers was certainly that of former CIA agent Robert McCall in The Equalizer.http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/stkarnick/2009/11/17/equalizer-star-woodward-played-exemplary-heroes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandina Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Together with Miami Vice, The Equalizer is one of the TV series I used to watch with my dad, I remember we both liked it.Too bad there hasn't been reruns for years now, it's a series I'd love to watch again.

Richie Rich Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Equalizer was the one I watched, and liked. It was far from perfect, and it wasn't MV, but it had lots going for it. RIPEdward Woodward (The Equalizer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceman Cometh Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Very busted up about Ober's passing. Had to mention this since no one else has: I believe it was him playing a cab driver in Prodigal Son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted November 19, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 "The meters running on your mouth to mouth lady!" If it was indeed Ken it was an uncredited role. He doesn't appear in our glossary or on the IMDB. Nice catch VC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
