I guess they knew Richard didn't have enough time left. I'm glad he got to be in the final season and he was great in it. Seems like he and Larry have been best friends for a long time. Larry's quote about Richard's passing is sadly sweet.
Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital and for most of my life hes been like a brother to me. He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and for that, Ill never forgive him.
Anyone, to not be totally morbid, season 12 was pretty good (pretty pretty pretty good) and while not the best, was a fine final season. I'll save some other comments for when you're done because I don't want to spoil anything.
Fix your hearts or die.
