Rest in Peace, Natalie Cole
Natalie Cole, daughter of legendary singer Nat "King" Cole has passed away at the age of 65. Her father was a trailblazer, becoming the first African-American host of a television show, a show in which Ms. Cole was occasionally featured. His show was short lived due to skittish sponsors who were afraid of offending racist southern viewers.
In the 1970's Ms. Cole became a star in her own right, conquering the same record charts her father did decades earlier. She then became a consistent presence on television, booking guest starring roles on various TV shows.
In recent years, her pace slowed as her health became an increasing issue for her. Her vibrant voice and positive personality will be missed by her millions of fans.

Rest in Peace, Wayne Rogers
Wayne Rogers, best known for his role as Dr. "Trapper" John McIntyre on the television series M*A*S*H has passed away at age 82.
Mr. Rogers was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1933 and attended Princeton University where he majored in history. He enlisted in the Navy and became an actor afterwards, starring in numerous television westerns. It would be M*A*S*H, however, that would make him a household name.
He would impulsively leave the show after the third season and his career never fully recovered. In his later years, he became an investment advisor, though he continued to book roles on television.

Christmas Week: Funzo
Over its twenty five years, the Simpsons have celebrated Christmas several times, despite the fact that they have seemingly never aged. One Christmas brought about the nefarious toy "Funzo", a devilish cross between Furby and Teddy Ruxpin. The evil toy was designed to destroy all other toys, a feature discovered by Bart and Lisa. To save Christmas for everyone in Springfield, the kids enlist Homer's help to steal and destroy all Funzos. Their scheme is successful.
