NEWS: Aaron Spelling Passes

The cause was complications from a stroke Mr. Spelling suffered last Sunday, his publicist, Kevin Sasaki, said.

Known as much for the wealth he accumulated in grinding out more than 200 television series and movies in his career, Mr. Spelling became a legendary figure in show business, a onetime bit actor who built one of the most successful production companies ever created, as well one of the most famously enormous mansions in Hollywood.

Mr. Spelling's career was defined by size and volume. He carved a place for himself in the Guinness Book of Records for the most hours of television produced: more than 3,000. At one time, in the 1970's and early 1980's, Mr. Spelling produced seven hours of programming a week on ABC, a third of that network's total prime-time schedule.

Mr. Spelling found success in almost every genre, including Westerns (his first series, in 1959, was "Johnny Ringo,") police shows ("Starsky and Hutch," "SWAT," "T. J. Hooker"), family drama ("Family," a rare critical success for Mr. Spelling), escapist anthology ("Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island"), glossy adult soap opera ("Dynasty") and youth-oriented soaps ("90210" and "Melrose Place").

Meanwhile, in a fourth grade class somewhere, Aaron passes spelling.

His parents are reported to be pleased.

I would care a lot more about Mr. Spelling's passing if he had written an unauthorized autobiography in which he cliamed to be a CIA assasign working under deep cover as a televeision producer.

Then I'd would have to feel something for him as a human being as opposed to a creator of endless cultural refuse.

I'm just a bastard that way.

Well, being as I am a notoriously HUGE 90210 fan, that is sad, my dreams of a similar series being resurrected are all over lmao

Seriously though, I love 90210
