    • BassCadet, on 10/12/2007, -83/+36Wow, how sad is it that people have to remember Peter Boyle as the father on some ***** TV sitcom?

      He did a lot, lot more than just that.

      It's like conjuring up "Clash of the Titans" when paying tribute to Laurence Olivier.
    • ilyag, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19Goodnight, funnyman.
    • matthewaaron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Sad day, You will be missed!
    • socbret, on 10/12/2007, -20/+65@Bass
      Everybody Loves Raymond was probably one of the best (basically)post Seinfeld sitcoms. Sure beat out almost everything else that's come out in the last 5 or so years.
    • BassCadet, on 10/12/2007, -108/+11It's a sitcom.

      Sitcoms are catnip for society's lowest common denominator: low intelligence, low motivation, low income.
    • Malovech, on 10/12/2007, -27/+4No! No! The Wizard is dead!
    • brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+66"Sitcoms are catnip for society's lowest common denominator: low intelligence, low motivation, low income."

      Even Frasier?
    • iainwall, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12It is a bit sad that the site has all of 9 lines of text to remember such a great man.

      You will be missed
    • mrfreeziexp, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Wow, how sad...
    • xrz1138, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20
      As others have stated, he was all over the place.

      The Wizard indeed!

      Frankenstein.

      One of the best X-Files episodes, and that is saying something.

      Sheppard (Outland was overlooked, in my opinion)

      Hippies, Cops, and things unexpected. He played them all!
    • chicksdigme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@UbIwerks and @huyhuy

      Ditto. He's the coolest and funniest guy on that show. He will be missed.
    • Malovech, on 10/12/2007, -28/+1@brstilson
      "Even Frasier?"

      Especially Frasier, what left over, has-been Cheers drivel. Seinfeld is the last good sitcom to come out.
    • Malovech, on 10/12/2007, -14/+4Why am I getting dugg down for the Wizard?
    • InetRoadkill, on 10/12/2007, -19/+6"Everybody Loves Raymond" is a misleading title for the show. I hate Raymond. I'd like to see him hung by his own entrails and then set on fire.

      But I liked Peter Boyle. He ruled.

    • philski, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5@socbret

      except you are forgetting Arrested Development

      But yes, he was a great man off and on the set. He will be missed.
    • Rentun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@bass

      Wow, way to come off as a pompous ass.

      And please explain to me how Fraiser and Cheers are in any way similar other than the obvious inclusion of Fraiser Crane in both.

      That's like saying All in the Family and The Jeffersons were the same.

      Completely different format.

      That was an unforgettable character.

    • djAnakin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1 iainwall:

      Thats a local news station. And those exact words were probably what was read on air.. just transcribed to the web for that story. That's how the station I used to work for did it.
    • socbret, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@Philski
      Arrested Development isn't a sitcom.
    • docdoak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14So he "HAD" died but he is now back??? HAD???
    • dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"Damit :( I love him and that show"

      Apparently, you loved the wrong guy.
    • dvpdziyn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Man - this is one of the worst stories I've read on Digg. I loved that guy - he was awesome. He was the nicest guy in the world and played such a terrible person on the show. Plus, there's so many great things he had done long before Raymond - can't ever forget him tap-dancing in those huge shoes next to Gene Wilder!
    • Sapsucker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Man. That's like a headline saying "Dr. Moreau from 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' passed away 12.5 years ago this week".
    • darkamster07, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"HAD died", phew, I was worried there for a second. Amazing that they managed to bring him back. If I had to write one more R.I.P on digg, I'd HAD fallen into a pit of depression.
    • underdog138, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This thread is way overdue and nobody will see this comment I'm leaving I'm sure, but I will say this: I hated this show (the "dumb/fat guy, skinny/bitchy wife" trend sitcoms have going on these days) but Peter made this show for me. He made it worth watching. That's.. about all I have to say about it ELR. :/ RIP Mr. Boyle. Thanks for half a century of good work.
    • convergent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0RIP, Peter was really good on Everybody Loves Raymond. I loved how he made everyone look bad on the show. You will be missed.
  • rkenward, on 10/12/2007, -21/+1Wow another Buffalo digger, I saw the source was WGRZ and had to digg even though I all ready dugg one of these.
  • sacr3dc0w, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20RIP, I got to meet him when he was at the Carlos Mencina tapings, the man was amazing, kind, and will truly be missed.
    • liquidrums, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Good thing you met the guy, but to go through Carlos Mencia? I'm not sure if even THAT is worth it!
    • ngmcs8203, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I agree with liquid, but it seems as though a TV show on Comedy Central these days buys you the fans that are just unaware of the fact that most of your bits are stolen.
  • Krakn3Dfx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35He was awesome, I knew he was looking a little rough the last season of the show, it's a loss for good entertainment to be sure.

    On of my favorite Peter Boyle moments was in the X-Files episode "Clyde Bruckman's Last Repose" when they're driving somewhere and out of nowhere:

    Clyde Bruckman: You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation.
    Mulder: Why are you telling me that?
    Clyde Bruckman: Look, forget I mentioned it. It's none of my business.

    Classic.

    RIP Clyde Bruckman
    • Andy.D, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20His work on Raymond was great, but that X-Files ep. was awesome.
    • gamechic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Clyde Bruckman was also one of my favorites, that's what put Peter Boyle on the map for me. Banana-cream pie.
    • etruscan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Digg for Mr. Boyle in the Sean Connery classic... Outlander!
    • MakinBacon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Loved him as Clyde Bruckman - Frank Barone - Frankenstein's monster - Carl Lazlo - and even "Jocko Dundee" in the little seen (but very funny) "Johnny Dangerously". A truly remarkable career on the big and small screens... RIP Mr. Boyle...

  • soviyet, on 10/12/2007, -25/+22Oh please, let's try not to associate him with that crap show, for god's sake. The guy had a really memorable and long career. He was in Taxi Driver, folks.
    • ezweave, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12People will digg you down, but I agree. It's kind of sad people only know him for Raymond (horrible show... yay canned laughter).

      He was also one of John Lennon's best friends, believe it or not.
    • EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7You're entitled to your opinion, but please don't forget yours isn't any more valid than that of others. The show brought enjoyment to many people, and made lots of money for the network, producers, and stars. It's fine to say you hate a show but nobody gave you permission to judge it for everybody else. THAT'S why you're being dugg down.
    • Lilitou, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5Agreed SO HARD. I hated that show. Even if I loved it, though, a man with a career as extensive and varied as Peter Boyle's should be remembered for more than just one sitcom he did towards the end of his career.

      He was great in Young Frankenstein and also The Dream Team. I didn't even realize he was in the Santa Clause trilogy. He was truly a good actor. Robin Williams is my favorite, but he is up there.

  • heavyal, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I know its redundant but Holy CRAP. He was my favorite character in Everybody Loves Raymond. And the funniest Monster Young Frankenstein ever created!
  • INHUMANITY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is a very sad day. He was a great comedian and actor. He was terrific in Young Frankenstein and 'Raymond.

    He will be missed. RIP Peter.
  • HDHal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No one has mentioned his part in "The Dream Team" - a story where a bunch of mental patients go out to see a ball game in New York City. "Stay out of my neuroses!" is one of his great lines! If you haven't seen it, rent it and be prepared to laugh until you cry. A very talented man who will be sorely missed.
  • Vezran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Peter Boyle was a true pimp. Chilled with John Lennon, Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder. What a man, what a legacy. He will be truly truly missed by a lot of people. He's one of those guys, like Jack Palance, that you don't think will ever leave and then suddenly BAM. *****..I'm really sad about this. Young Frankenstein is dead. Long live Young Frankenstein.
    • tmesis, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1You know, it's kind of hard to characterize death at 71 with "suddenly BAM".
  • PrettyMuchBryce, on 10/12/2007, -10/+0:'( lame
  • abacadabbra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is a shocker, he will be missed and not just because he was a part of everybody loves ray but also for is other acting parts like the gonzo attorney from where the bufflo roam.
  • DaveV, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Quick, get the jumper cables! It might not be too late!

    I didn't watch the shows, but loved his movies.
  • alexthemonster, on 10/12/2007, -13/+5On another note, what's with all this "RIP" crap? Just say the full "Rest in Peace" and not some tacky abbreviation, for heaven's sake. It's not like you're engraving the tombstone and paying by the letter here. You can write out a simple phrase for the man.
    • FearlessFreep, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Merry X-Mas to you, too
    • Sneezyx, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1LOL
    • howski, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Thanks for sharing. Lighten up, *****!
    • shosterman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Alex, although others apparently don't share your opinion, I do. Sure it might not seem like much, but simply taking a couple extra seconds to write "Rest In Peace" is hardly an effort.

      The abbreviation "RIP" is simply disrespectful; a sign of laziness and lack of sentiment. Not just that, but when read it becomes synonymous with violence.

      1. to cut or tear apart in a rough or vigorous manner:
      6. a rent made by ripping; tear.
    • gJon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This actually made me laugh out loud. People use acronyms for *everything* on the internet. Get over it.
    • Namco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1OMFG, WTF? LOL.... you know this is the Internet, right?
    • alexthemonster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yeah, and those abbreviations are most often used either out of sheer laziness or irreverent sarcasm. Neither of which are really appropriate when trying to pay respect to the deceased. I'll lighten up when you smarten up, schmoes.
  • Wedgieman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4It isnt Halloween without watching Young Frankenstein with my dad, and laughing at Peter's dancing..

    Here's to you man, thanks for wonderful entertainment you provide year after year.

    And keep puttin on the ritz!

    R.I.P.
  • hpkomic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Well, my day just got a whole lot less nice after reading this. :(
  • csnoke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Seems to have lived a good life, he was a funny guy, and made a lot of people laugh... he was very fortunate. I hope he died peacefully and surrounded by loved ones.
  • Zreitan, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Someday you talk pretty.... nice grammer on the title...
  • graydigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I really loved the episode he was in on the X-Files.

    Rest in Peace, Peter.
