Nope. Sorry. Garry Marshall is not allowed to die this week. Or next week. Or ever, really.
Then again, if I was Garry and I'd just seen f-ing Chachi speak at the RNC, I might be inclined to head towards the light, too. But in all seriousness... the freakin' Chicago Sun Times couldn't get the details of his movies right? Come on. Burns and Denver starred in "Oh God" in 1977; Greg Kinnear starred in Marshall's "Dear God" in 1996.
