Death by Television

Last night while I was babysitting, I received a heart-breaking text from Coleman:

"Ducky is dead."

For those of you who don't know about Coleman's freakish obsession with the hit show...NCIS, Ducky is one of the main characters, the resident medical examiner. 
Although NCIS is not my favorite show of all time, I must admit that Ducky, or Dr. Mallard (clever nickname, huh?) was the peanut butter to the whole program's jelly, and I am not sure how they will continue on without his precious little accent. To top it all off, his unexpected death occurred in the last moments of the season finale. Now Coleman will have to wait all summer to see what is next. The suspense may kill him. 



In other television death news, one of my favorite stars from the wildly intelligent program Swamp People passed away recently. This is totally different from Ducky, in that Mitchell Guist was in fact a real person.


He and his brother, Glenn, really added the spice of life to the whole show. They could often be found hunting squirrel or digging catfish up out of the river. I am almost positive that neither of these two men have ever eaten a meal they didn't forage with their own two hands.
 Affectionately know as the "Redneck Brothers" in my household, they were always sure to bring a laugh.
My condolences to Glenn. 


Lets hope that this is all the death we experience as our programs reach their season's end.
