I'm 41 and it shocks me that you could be from our generation and NOT know Ernest Borgnine by name. Holy crap, he's been in everything over the years. Recently, not so much except for Spongebob, but holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- man.

Pretty sure we're from the same generation. Seriously, you're making a mountain out of a mole hill. I said, "His filmography is just a long, long list of almost nothing but mediocrity." It is. There are some good films/TV shows on the list. But by far the majority of the films/TV shows on the list are not good. At all. And that's fine. I would love to have had that career. I think he probably made a ton of money having a helluva lot of fun. But his filmography still is what it is. 7th Heaven. Touched by an Angel. Walker Texas Ranger. BASEketball. About 150 poorly rated made-for-TV movies that nobody has heard of. You all supposedly know this guy by name, but literally almost everything he has ever been in is very bad, most of it completely obscure made-for-TV stuff, and most of it small guest roles. I mean, Ginsu Victim is just flat out lying about him and his wife. That's just silly. ;D
In other words, I have absolutely nothing against the guy. It just strikes me as strange that he has a thread dedicated to him. And coming right on the heels of the Andy Griffith thread, I wondered whether Saint might want consider an Obituary subforum. But now it's beginning to strike me as even stranger that I'm in here defending this position so ardently. So I guess I'll stop.

I loved Airwolf!. Thank you Ernest for that great childhoodtime. Guess you got twice as old as your younger buddy in Airwolf?

Fix your ignore filter so that it works properly.

Well, one way is work for me, the other is an exercise in self control on your part. I know how I vote.

Ironically, had I known Ernest Borgnine by name I wouldn't have ever clicked on this thread. It was my very ignorance that made me click on this thread, saying, "Ernest Borgnine . . . who's that?" Just think of all the suffering in this world that could have been avoided had I just been a little better informed. ;D
