I must comment on Tom Malmin’s letter (Viewers’ Views, May 7) regarding the series “Nearly Departed.” He referred to Eric Idle as a clown. I agree, in the same manner I consider Red Skelton, Jerry Lewis and Lucy to be “clowns.” This was a very funny show with a great cast. It was one of the few new shows I enjoyed.
