Brandon Tartakoff

Please forgive me for asking this, but what ever happened to this ex-president of NBC? I saw the tribute to him at the end of one of the episodes, but I never found out what happened to him? Was he sick? I must be out of the loop.

He passed away a few years ago. I'm not sure what it was from.

Here's a tip. Every single person ever to appear at the end of any episode of any TV show along with the words "In Loving Memory Of....." is dead. Hope this clears up any questions about Brandon Tartikoff (who I think had cancer), Marjorie Gross (who I think also had cancer), Lloyd Bridges (who was just old) or anyone else you might see in such a case. Someone who never appeared in such a manner was the actress who played Susan, who never appeared because she is not dead. Hope this answers any questions related to who is living, dead, or otherwise.

Are you sure it's decaf? I don't see the orange indicator!

I thought Brandon Tartakoff had brain cancer?

                       Brandon Tartikoff, the TV whiz kid who took the
                       programming reigns at struggling NBC at age 30
and
                       helped transform the network in the 1980s with a
                       slew of hits--Miami Vice and The Cosby Show chief

                       among them--died Wednesday of complications from
                       Hodgkin's disease. He was 48.

                       Tartikoff had been undergoing chemotherapy at
UCLA
                       Medical Center in Los Angeles for a recurrence of

                       the lymphatic cancer he first battled in 1974,
                       when he was a 23-year-old promotions-department
                       employee at ABC.
