This may not be music-related, but there are some game show fans on this board and I'd like to share some sad news...
It was announced on Facebook that Bill Rafferty had passed away today. He was a regular on TV's Real People from 1979 to 1984, and he hosted 3 short-lived game shows during the 1980s - including Every Second Counts in 1984, Card Sharks in syndication from 1986 to 1987, and the second and most recent U.S. version of Blockbusters early in 1987.
He was quite an impressive host for someone who is underrated and the shows he hosted were quite interesting despite having short runs.
Bill Rafferty is in "the land of parting gifts" in the sky now.
R.I.P., Mr. Rafferty. You'll be missed.
