Huh. For the life of me, Phil Donahue dying surprises me. 

Not because of him dying... But because if you had asked me yesterday, I'd have assumed he died a long time ago. The surprise was that he was still alive.

Phil Donahue was one of the bookends around the Price is Right growing up on our CBS affiliate in Milwaukee.   Couldn't wait until that whitehead was done talking about whatever serious thing he was running around w the microphone so I could see Plinko.

After that it was the Young and the Restless.

You attack Fearless' stories, and don't be surprised when he unloads on you

Same here. I thought he had been dead for a long time.

Donahue was also the start of the morning TV block growing up on 'CCO in Minneapolis. Donahue, then Sally Jessy Raphael, Price is Right, Young and the Restless, noon news.

I actually halfway got into The Young and The Restless briefly in college.  The way my classes fell I had a break from noon to 3.  So, I would eat lunch and then come back to my room and Y&R came on at 1:00.

It became a little routine for a while.

Cute sorority girls at UT watched All My Children.  So I, too, watched All My Children when I had a chance.  Having something in common to talk about was a great opener.
