Have we heard anything about funeral plans or a memorial service? Just wondering out loud.
Hard to believe he will have been gone a week this afternoon.

Yeah, family should be able to grieve in private with something different for the public, maybe something like Jim Henson's memorial. Especially for Robin Williams, the old saying is true: "Remember me with hugs and laughter, because that is how I will remember you all; if you can only think of me with tears and sorrow, then don't remember me at all."

when does the view come back on the air? I really really want to hear what Whoopi Goldberg will say and do on the show as a tribute to Robin.

Just announced that Billy Crystal will pay tribute to Robin at the Emmys next Monday night. So, 1/3rd of the Comic Relief trio. Not sure yet about Whoopi or when View will be back.

Not Going To Die; Childs, we're goin' out to give Blair the test. If he tries to make it back here and we're not with him... burn him.

Can we change the title of this thread? It's makes this thread look like it's focused on the way he died.

Could be like the MJ thread when he died, just going on for a while, sharing memories and stories.
And, God willing, a place where someone who may be feeling as lost as he was can find some hope.

Don't know if this was mentioned already but I just read that BBC3 here showed the Family Guy episode where everything Peter touches turns into Robin Williams the same night he died. The news broke just as the episode finished airing and if you haven't seen the episode, Peter tries to kill himself unsuccessfully on a couple of occasions. You just couldn't make it up. They sensibly pulled the repeat viewing from a few days later. Edit. Just noticed it had been brought up briefly.

That's not nearly as bad as Channel 4 News running the 'Why don't they get a rope and hang me?' Good Morning, Vietnam clip in their tribute.

To be fair to the BBC, nobody knew what would happen when they put the episode on air. The Channel 4 thing was stupid though.

Announced today that Robin was cremated. His ashes were scattered over San Francisco Bay on August 12. All other details are being kept private.

Blizzard is adding an NPC called Robin the Entertainer to World of Warcraft. He has three forms: A Djinn, a female human resembling Mrs.Doubtfire and a human male that is most likely Mork.It's either going to be in three different locations or it's going to rotate it's form. wow.joystiq.com/2014/08/20/robin-williams-world-of-warcraft/
