FROM GREAT BRITAIN.

Aaron Spelling, a true legend. During my childhood and right throughout my lifetime i found Aaron's productions truly entertaining.

My favourite was Vega$, however Hart to Hart, Dynasty and The Colby's were also amongst my unmissable viewing.

The world of entertainment has lost one of it's true sons, Aaron may you rest in peace knowing that you have brought pleasure to millions of people around the world.

Aaron Spelling was one of the Jews of Dallas(along with Stanley Marcus and Robert Strauss)who left one in awe of his genius.

Wow. All those shows and I've never seen any of 'em.

If there was ever a TV icon, Aaron Spelling was it. I can't think of any other TV show producer whose shows I watched so much -- hell, I grew up on the likes of Charlie's Angels, Love Boat, and Fantasy Island. I was never a big fan of his 90s soaps (90210, et al), but I was a faithful watcher of Charmed. I don't think television will ever see the likes of Spelling again. Some may say that's a good thing, but there's something to be said for what Spelling called "mind candy," and what others called "jiggle TV." He made TV fun to watch.

It should be noted that 5 days after the stroke Tori hasnt gotten a chance in her busy schedule to make it home and was spotted today in Toronto walking around with her husband. I hope people report on this horrible chick before she puts on the waterworks.

The sheer volume of credits that Aaron Spelling had as a producer and executive producer is stunning and goes back into the 1950s. His IMDB credit list as a Producer or Executive Producer also includes "Daniel Boone", "The Guns of Will Soonett" and "The Mod Squad". He did just about everything with the exception of Science Fiction. He was the executive producer on Robert Altman's film "California Split" and on the Michael Keaton feature "Mr. Mom". He had his sahre of misses - he was the executive producer on "Life with Lucy", Lucille Ball's horrific last attempt at a sitcom - but like an oilman who has 19 dry holes for every well he brings into production, when he hit he hit big. In an industry where the phrase "giant of the industry" is used far too often there's no other word for Aaron Spelling than "giant of the industry".

There are not many true "class acts" left in Hollywood. I grew up on many of his masterpieces including Love Boat and Charlie's Angels. Mr. Spelling will be missed.
