    Rest in peace Mr. Kennedy.

    Although Time Walker wasn’t the greatest film, it did show us that despite preconceptions, the combination of the Horror and Sci-fi film genres can actually be used to induce sleep.

    Bravo sir, and have a good and well-deserved rest.

    I love the guaca-mummy episode and that thing in it “that’s driving the plot to nowhere”. I hope we get Being From Another Planet on DVD soon.

    If you, like me, are a game show lover, rest assured this is not Tom Kennedy the legendary game show host (Name That Tune, You Don’t Say, etc.)

    RIP to the “other” Tom Kennedy. I have to check out some of those trailers now.

    Big Blue Marble editor. Must have been a wonderful show to work on.

    I read the headline too fast and thought it said “RIP Tom Kenny”. For a shocking split-second, I thought we’d lost the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants.
