Didn't even hear about this until today. Creator of one of the greatest sitcoms ever: WKRP in Cincinnati. I still like watching the old re-runs and have each episode just about memorized.

Plus the writer/director of the Police Academy movie.

RIP Hugh.

That's one of the greatest TV episodes of all time. Still cracks me up to this day.
