Malcom Jamal Warner died this week while on vacation with his family. He drowned after being taken under by a strong current while playing in the water with his eight year old daughter. His daughter survived but he drowned. Malcom was fifty four. He gained fame as a child actor in the 1980s as the only son of the Huxtable family in the 1980s sit com “The Cosby Show”.

Heavy Metal is not my musical preference but I enjoy reality TV. I enjoyed watching “The Osbournes” on MTV in the early 2000s. Ozzy is a unique character. The show portrayed Ozzy as the patriarch of his goth family.

I learned more about Ozzy and his family from the old VH1 show “Behind the Music”. “Behind the Music” was a docuseries that told the stories of pop stars. The Ozzy Osbourne episode was memorable. It discussed Ozzy’s background and the story of how he formed a family with his wife Sharon who was on the reality.

I vaguely remember hearing about Ozzy Osbourne biting the head off a bat when I was young. My parents don’t listen to medal or hard rock. The bat biting incident is the stuff of legend.

Wrestling star Hulk Hogan died the day I’m writing this. I was a wrestling fan as a child. I wasn’t interested in it past fourteen or so. I remember “Wrestlemania I”. Someone at my elementary school went and wore a Hulkamania (or perhaps it was a Hot Rod) t shirt to school the next day. He was the cool kid at school that day.

I love television. These three were TV legends in my lifetime so far. RIP fellas.
