Four more memorable people passed away in early 2025.
This group starred in most of the episodes of M*A*S*H; played the rememberable “NORM” on the TV show Cheers; was one of the engineers responsible for saving the astronauts on Apollo 13; and played memorable characters such as Chucky, Howard the Duck, and the dinosaur Tasha in Land of the Lost.
Where everybody knows your name.
“Cheers” is an American television sitcom that aired on NBC from September 30, 1982, to May 20, 1993, for 11 seasons and 275 episodes. Created by James Burrows, Glen Charles, and Les Charles, the show is set in a bar named Cheers in Boston, Massachusetts. The show’s name is a play on the idea of a place where everyone knows your name, which became its iconic theme song’s tagline.

Digital chess engines, data clouds, personal server space, and high-tech miniature wireless devices have been handy tools to hoodwink judges and arbitrators.
