The NYT decided to do something a little different this year regarding its annual
"greatest obituary hits" issue.
This past year was a big year for obituary writers. We started seeing more and more of the television icons of the past pass from the scene, which should make those of us who remember them feel just a wee bit older.
It wasn't 1977, a banner year for obit writers (including deaths of icons Elvis, Bing Crosby, Charlie Chaplin, Groucho Marx, and Joan Crawford just for starters), but it'll do.
