captain_slinkyAaron Spelling, legendary television producer who brought us everything from Fantasy Island to Melrose Place, is dead.
But what really need to remember here, people, is that for every diamond like Charlies Angels or The Love Boat that Mr. Spelling put out, there were at least a fist-full of turds like B.A.D. Cats that he thought were gonna be sure-fire hits. Really, the ratio of hits-to-misses was pretty darned atrocious.
I'm not saying it's a good thing he's dead, heavens no! I'm just saying he's an average guy who kept flinging crap at the wall, and eventually some of it stuck there.
