It was tonight. I loved Andy's writing, and always enjoyed watching it after sunday night football. He'll be missed for sure. Anyone else watch it?

I think I'll miss him because he's always been there. He just made 60 Minutes what it was. However, I did not really like all the bitching he did. It seemed like he just complained and ranted about shit.

Andy ROoney's a self serving piece of shit who makes things up then when he gets called out he plays the "must have a personal problem with me" card.

Definitely did not mean to say that. He did not make 60 Minutes what it is.

His rants have been outdated since the 70s, and he really never talked about anything in particular. He seemed to believe that problems or thoughts he had as an elderly man applied to everyone and delivered them as such.


Well that and the fact that he was a racist, xenophobic old man.

yeah, i respect the shit out of his past but in recent years he's been little more than a grumpy old man who complains about inconsequential shit on one of the better tv shows on air, with touches of xenophobia here and there. not devastated to see him go

but that guy has seen shit

I always watch him on 60 minutes even if i missed the rest of the show. I love the way he complains about stuff, he's an entertaining guy. Seeing him go was sad
