Alan Thicke (born Alan Willis Jeffrey on March 1, 1947), a Growing Pains star, died of a heart attack at 65 years old just two days ago, but sportscaster Craig Sager (born Craig Graham Sager on June 29, 1951) died today of leukemia at 69 years old.
TNT could be sad to hear about Craig's death. Many people have been sad to hear about Alan's and Craig's deaths this week.
I hope Alan Thicke and Craig Sager rest in peace! God bless them!
All I want Craig to do now is "make God score", since he should be good for God forever. Craig is now in a better place, but there may be a different one still on Earth, his son Craig Jr, but I'm shocked to announce that Craig Sr died.

I like audio description! (For Garrett Leach and other DVS fanatics!)
I first heard audio description in the mid 2000s, when I listened to various narrators in the DVS versions of Nickelodeon shows Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, and even Rugrats.
Too bad SpongeBob SquarePants didn't have DVS available a long time ago. It now does. I've heard various narrators in the past do DVS, like Joel Snyder, Wendie Sakakeeny, and her daughter Kria (the youngest DVS narrator of the 1990s).
I heard Wendie during an episode of It's a Big Big World.
But Kria is a DVS narrator on very few more Dora episodes and a Blue's Clues episode. A narrator named Tom is a DVS narrator on a few episodes of Dora and one of Blue's Clues. Kria can be found on home video releases with DVS available such as the DVS VHS and 2010 DVD release of the 1995 film Toy Story and a few other DVS VHS's from the late 1990s to mid 2000s.
Wendie and Kria have been a mother-and-daughter team of DVS narrators at WGBH for over a decade. Kria should still do two jobs at once, at both WGBH and Oxfam America. She has already done two jobs at once, as a DVS narrator at WGBH and a news anchor and reporter at WMUR-TV in Manchester, NH.
I like many other voices of DVS now, such as Miles Neff, Leilani Jones-Wilmore, actress Adrienne Barbeau, Joel Snyder himself, and the DVS narrator I heard from LazyTown a long time ago. I want to hear Kria as a DVS narrator on the 2010 re-release of Toy Story on DVD and a few more DVD's that use her voice for DVS. Leave a comment about the narrators' use on DVS DVD's, and explain what other Dora episodes Kria is used on.
I actually found Kria from a DVS VHS of Toy Story itself, along with her voice from a DVS VHS of The Wizard of Oz, since TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies airings of that movie also use Kria's DVS track from the DVS VHS of Wizard. I know that she's also used on TCM's airings of the classic 1949 family film The Secret Garden.
One of Kria's first DVS narration assignments was the 1996 DVS VHS of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, but I remember hearing her voice on the Dora episode "Fish Out of Water".
This is for Garrett Leach on YouTube!
Check out Kria's DVS presentations on Ray Starr's Descriptive Videos for the Blind website in the meantime!
Toy Story (from the 1996 DVS VHS; missing description of Walt Disney Home Video logo and reading of format screen)
The Wizard of Oz (shortened version of the 1999 DVS VHS presentation; the full DVS VHS version, with Kria's reading of the FBI warning, description of the 1997 Warner Home Video logo, and descriptions of the bonus features intact, also exists but in a ZIP folder with two MP3 files)
The Secret Garden (the 1949 film, from a Turner Classic Movies airing on its SAP channel)
