    RIP Don Rickles

    He'll always been CPO Sharkey to me...

      My biggest memory of Rickles was when he broke Johnny Carson's cigarette box. When Johnny found out, he took a camera guy over across the hall at NBC's Burbank studios where Don was taping CPO Sharkey to confront him. Classic TV right there. Rest in peace, Mr. Rickles. Thinking his passing might warrant a 1970's sitcom episode of 'Pod Stallions'. How about it?

          He was a one of a kind... Loved the guy

          To this day I still say, "what are you, Don Rickles" when somebody relentlessly insults someone.

          Besides CPO, i'll also remember him from Jeannie as the tough sergeant Jeannie mellows out

          He had a decent size role in Casino too... good for him

          RIP

                  A funny guy that didn't have to swear be be gross in order to be funny. Much respect for his talent.

                      I used to watch that with my friend who lived across the street from me as a kid.

                      Not sure I can get used to the idea of a World without Don Rickles.

                                      I know he was 90 but this is a huge blow. Mr. Warmth should have been granted eternal life.
                                      If there is a Mt. Rushmore of comedy, Rickels is on it.

                                      I love the story Sinatra told about seeing him in a restaurant and asking Ol' Blue Eyes for a little help with a lady.
                                      If I had only spent a tenth of the time studying Physics that I spent learning Star Wars and Baseball trivia, I would have won the Nobel Prize.

                                                          Here's the story I mentioned.
