The Love Boat. Matt Houston. Charmed. Starsky and Hutch. Fantasy Island. The Mod Squad. Beverly Hills, 90210. Charlie’s Angels. 7th Heaven. Hart to Hart. Melrose Place. T.J. Hooker. Dynasty. You probably watched one of those or one of countless others that sprung from the mind of TV producer Aaron Spelling. Sadly Spelling died last Friday at the ripe old age of 83. Spelling was a tiny man who had huge influence on the genre of television creating hit after hit (ok, and a few misses – anyone remember Models, Inc.)? He was one of the most prolific producers in the history of television including a run in the 80’s where he had seven shows airing on one network the same year! Spelling earned adoration from fans over the years but little critical praise, but that never bothered the man who when one show failed had at least two in development to take its place. In a time where good new shows on television are becoming as scarce as good Democratic candidates for President a man like Spelling will sorely be missed
