The Montclair, NJ resident and star of radio, screen and stage, Bracken died several months after his wife/actress, Connie, passed away. if you make it to Heaven, be sure to check out Eddie and wife Connie in the highly entertaining BACK IN BRACKEN, a true favorite with the elderly deceased.

This Week's Separated At Birth (8/4 - 8/10)
* Years before John Denver went LEAVING ON A JET PLANE when he died in a plane crash on October 12, 1997, he was a moptopped folk singer who looked eerily similar to tennis legend Martina Navratilova.
What Irritates Mr. Erzblock This Week (9/21 - 9/27)
I am deeply troubled: Who thought that Kermit the Frog would ever jump the shark? I can't blame Muppets' creator Jim Henson for rolling over in his grave at the sight of his green creation as Lady Gaga's date to the MTV VMAs. To the "Powers that be" in charge of Muppet marketing: There are better ways to keep Kermey relevant! First off, write scripts that the public is willing to throw money at, not the straight-to-DVD release, A MUPPET CHRISTMAS: LETTERS TO SANTA, that'll be out on September 29th. LAME! LAME! LAME! For those of you who choose not to pay the price of what I assume will be a piss-poor puppet production, the Muppets' latest movie will air on NBC on December 15th.
