No they don’t

[Eric Alper 🎧 @ThatEricAlper]

Friends don't tell friends 1986 was 40 years ago.

[Valeri the Wine Lass @WineLassValeri]

Damn right

[Steve Holley @BySteveHolley]

One of the best scenes from any series was his Cheers finale with the last call and Sam Malone standing alone in the bar, thinking back on the last 11 years of his life, and realizing: “I’m the luckiest son of a bitch on Earth.”

James Burrows is worthy of all the tributes. 🍻

The OG GOAT

[Angela Workman @AWorkmanWriter]

RIP James Burrows, foundational director of sitcoms like Will & Grace, Friends, Taxi, Big Bang Theory and so many more. They truly don't make 'em like that anymore. The GOAT of sitcom TV. #JamesBurrows

A part of all our lives

[Art ♔ Soaps ♔ Royalty @LadyFilmFatale]

Frasier.
Friends.
Taxi.
Mary Tyler Moore.
Cheers.

The master. Without him, I don’t know how I would survive the hard days. Laughter is everything. Sitcom is everything. Travel well, Sir. May new genius be inspired by his glory. #JamesBurrows #Sitcoms

[Valeri the Wine Lass @WineLassValeri]

Thank you, Sir

Love this band. So glad I saw them live

[Bob Ruggiero @BobRuggiero2]

Highly recommend the #EarthWindandFire doc on @hbo. Kudos to Director/Producer @questlove for showing the band's history & the singular vision of #MauriceWhite, but also being honest about his shortcomings. Great archival footage. Will send you to the music! @EarthWindFire

I wrote about the genius of the late James Burrows, the greatest sitcom director of them all: https://t.co/F5e5rnsJqc

Friends, Will & Grace

[Variety @Variety]

James Burrows, the co-creator of "Cheers" who reigned as television’s preeminent sitcom director for more than 30 years, died on Friday. He was 85. https://t.co/drWXrDuZlE

What a remarkable career.

[NBC Entertainment @nbc]

“Jimmy Burrows was the man behind the curtain. He knew how to make us laugh, what buttons to push and was the absolute master of getting the most out of every joke. His loss to the television comedy world is immeasurable. Every time you have a smile on your face watching ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show,’ ‘Taxi, ‘Cheers,’ ‘Will & Grace,’ ‘Friends’ and countless others, think of Jimmy and know he made all our lives funnier.”

Oh the joy of these things

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

Kids today fart around on their phones on road trips. We had these.

[Valeri the Wine Lass @WineLassValeri]

Nope. This is the best

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

Perhaps no photo has ever better said “It’s the 80s, I have two quarters, and I’m thirsty.”

Ha! Right?!

North Beach legend

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

Etheredge, described by Sean Penn as the “mother and mayor of the San Francisco night,” made the North Beach bar the center of a celebrity scene. https://t.co/1OWwyf644u

The world needs his wise movie reviews

[Chicago Int'l Film Festival @chifilmfest]

Today we remember Roger Ebert on what would have been his 84th birthday.

A compassionate, insightful film critic — and a true Chicagoan.

We miss you, Roger!

My hero

[Prof. Frank McDonough @FXMC1957]

18 June 1983. Dr Sally Ride became the 1st American woman to travel in space when NASA’s space shuttle Challenger was launched into space on its 2nd mission.

One of our best

[Peter Travers @petertravers]

How great is Matthew Rhys? One of the coolest fun actors I’ve interviewed, he’s aces at playing weirdos and killers (see him outclass Claire Danes at her most crazed in “The Beast in Me”). And he’s amazing again as the mayor of a haunted coastal town in “Widow’s Bay.” Emmy voters take note, though he already has gold for “The Americans.” He once jokingly tried to trade me that Emmy for my favorite cinema souvenir, the hat John Wayne wore in “The Searchers.” I politely declined. There are about a billion Emmys circulating, but that hat is priceless. As is Mr. Rhys. Here's my review. https://t.co/AngQuFXDCR

Our childhood was the best

[Muppet Stuff @MuppetsStuff]

Sad news as former @TODAYshow, critic Gene Shalit died over the weekend. The Muppets crossed paths with Shalit many times over the years, both celebrating and lovingly poking fun at the iconic critic.

Obviously the best part of the show

[CBS News @CBSNews]

A stray cat wandered onto the stage during "Romeo and Juliet" — and became the star of the show.

It happened during the final scene of a ballet performance by the Imperial Russian Ballet Company in Turkey's Izmir last Wednesday.

It is perfection

[Matthew Turner @FilmFan1971]

Just binge-watched the final season of For All Mankind. What a great show. For my money, it’s up there with Mad Men as the best TV show of the last 26 years. If you still haven’t seen it, watch it. Five seasons of total perfection.
