    I do like the fact that everywhere I see on the web there's nothing but respect for the man and what he meant to their childhoods. One of the first times I was allowed to stay up late was to watch Airplane! and he was always my favourite character.

    I loved the bit where the stewardess asks him if he's a doctor, he's just sitting there with a pair of stethoscopes in his ears and says with a dead serious face: "Yes', I am a doctor." :D

    A great testament to the work he did that will carry on for years.

    Police Squad is one of the funniest series of all time. The scene from 5 minutes on in this is my favourite scene from anything ever

    I'm at work but I was listening to that while doing my work. I have seen each episode of that series hundreds of times and now I want to watch them again. "A big monster came and took him to daddy heaven"

    Ah Spy Hard. When he's chasing the guy through the club and the woman selling stuff walks by shouting:

    "Cigarettes, Cigars, Throwing Knives"

    Anybody else think when there was talk of a Father Ted movie when they the rumour was Steve Martin that it would have to be Leslie Nielsen. Well bar Dermot himself. Another great comic actor. I'd say the two of these guys were my favourite for Comedic timing and facial expressions.. OJ was suprisingly good at the facial expressions too.

    Was not a big fan of his, but acknowledge his contribution to comedy as an art.

    Ironically I watched Airplane last night! :eek:

    RIP Leslie, current actors and directors should take note of how to spoof a film, instead of the crap thats churned out in recent years
