BEVERLY HILLS, CA (TS) -- Over four decades, he wrote jokes and scripts for 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show,' 'Taxi, 'Cheers' and many others. David Lloyd, an Emmy Award-winning television comedy writer died of prostate cancer Tuesday at his home in Beverly Hills, said his son, writer-actor-producer Christopher Lloyd. This is not all tragic though, for even in death, he has made me laugh one more time, by seeing the words "sitcom" and "writer" in the same headline. Sitcom copy and paster... Ok.
No great loss here, the people that script every reality TV show ever are much more creative.
What?!??! Gene Simmons is cheating on his diet by having food from every fast food place in the world sent to his room?!?!?!?! OUTRAGEOUS and so very real. I sure hope Shannon doesn't find out!
Anyway...
My first reaction to Mr. Lloyd's passing was "Don't go there", my second was, "I think it's time for plan B", my third was "Smooth move Ex-lax", my forth was, "But if you're here, then that must mean... Oh boy..."
Yes, that is pretty much copied and pasted from an episode of Family Guy. I thought it to be a fitting tribute.
Of course, he might not really be dead, it could be that a family member just overheard part of a phone conversation and misinterpreted the situation... if that's the case, watch the hilarity ensue over the next few days... or at least 22 minutes.
If he's not really dead, there are several possibilities of where he might be:
Perhaps he's spending a night in a HAUNTED MANSION. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!
Or he could be watching the birth of his formerly badass but now totally straight edge brother's child. Awwwwwwwwwwe.
Maybe he accidentally made a date with two different women on the same night.
Maybe he's trying his luck at yet another get rich quick scheme with his overly animated and mono-dimensioned next door neighbour.
Are you as turned on as I am right now?
More!
*passionate but no tongue kiss*
Oooooooooooooooooooooh!
Lloyd's son when reached for comment sounded all crazy-like. Imagine Cosmo Kramer without the retro sixties clothes. (and white hood)
Lloyd's wife when reached for comment seemed Ok, saying that the David Lloyd character had run out of steam anyway and she was ready to introduce a new one... reported to be a five year old nephew from out of state that was to this point previously unmentioned.
Both surviving members of Lloyd's family will claim their inheritance... if they can last one night in a HAUNTED MANSION. Oooooooooooooh!
Mr. Lloyd, you have jumped the shark... went upstairs and never came back down... decided you wanted a career in the movies instead. You'll be back.
Love,
This piece of written in front of a live studio audience.
