I don't think I have ever seen an Andy Rooney episode that I did not enjoy.
Many a time I only watched the end of the show.
He will be missed.

I guess he ran out of stuff to find in his desk.
Even still, I always liked to listen to him.
He also has a couple of good books.
Folks agreed with many things he wrote and said, and disagreed with many things he wrote and said. I guess that made him a rarity; a truly balanced observer. He'll be missed.
Probably the last of the WW II correspondents stil working, he started with "Stars and Stripes" in 1942.
His bit on "60 Minutes" replaced the "Point-Counterpoint" segment. During periods when he was not on the air(suspended, on vacation, etc.), "60 Minutes" ratings always dipped.
Rooney once told Tom Brokaw he had been a pacifist until he saw the liberation of the Nazzi internment camps at the end of the war. He then rethought his position on whether there could be such a thing as a "just war".
Dang Angelo, you know everything about everyone who's anyone.....
I remember when 60 minutes first came on. I watched it weekly for many years. I have tapered off in the last decade or so, but I always enjoyed Mr. Rooney.
Will he give me his desk? I will pay shipping.
