The Journal of Pants

Hi. My name is Kristin
and I am happy you are here.

Harry Morgan died today at 96 years old. He may be more famous for M*A*S*H, but he’ll always be Officer Bill Gannon to me. Dragnet, man. The BEST!  NO, not the 1987 movie starring Dan Akroyd and Tom Hanks. GOD. And CERTAINLY not the Dick Wolf re-boot starring Ed O’Neill and Ethan Embry. Everybody shut up. I mean the original television show by which all police procedurals should be measured. So good they did it in the 50s, then color TV happened and they did it AGAIN with the same actors in the 60s. Can we all take a minute to remember how much Nick at Nite made us better people? Us meaning Generation Y or Millenials or whatever we’re called. Nick at Nite plays Friends now. R.I.P. Harry Morgan.
