Steve Landesberg has died. A long and successful career, but for me he'll always be Detective Arthur P. Dietrich, the unflappable, all-knowing master of the one liner on Barney Miller.

In other news, Abe Vigoda is still alive and working at 89.

I actually laughed harder at the Abe Vigoda cameo than I did at Betty White.

Yeah, we've all had ample evidence of how bad-ass Betty White is by now. ;-)
