46. Charles Nelson Reilly was a comic genius!Tthe Loosers who made the choice to put up the telletubbie should take the time to watch reruns of matchgame and see true talent. Maybe then they would be more respectful!!

47. No, a harbinger is a sign of things to come, not a representation of something that already is. The first robin you see might be a harbinger of spring, but a teletubby is a stupid thing, stupid when it was just a teletubby. Now that TMZ thinks it's clever and witty and smart, it's still a stupid teletubby.

I feel dreadfully bad and sorry for the families of Rev. Falwell and Mr. Reilly.

When I first came to TMZ to read news stories, only a few weeks ago, it seems, the stories were actually news-related and newsworthy in content. Now, in just a few weeks, the site has plummetted to the bottom of the juvenile gossip pile. How did this happen? Did you hire a new team of writers and researchers? What? It's a pity because today's readers look for real news, not stupidity.

Straighten up your act and get back on track, will you please? I don't want to see porn photos of men in weirdly fitting bathing suits. Stop being idiots, okay?

48. Oh, wait, I get it!

Rosie O'Donnell is a teletubby.

49. Charles Nelson Riley was a good man who made people laugh. A true professional who made us older people laugh. Too bad the new generation of comedians can't make people laugh with the clean humor he used.

54. And by the way, all this homophobic teletubies thing is just a little old! I wish people could get beyond this type of nonsense!

55. The Tubby was VERY appropriate for FARTWELL, but not for Mr. Reilly...he and that fat, closet queen-evangelist have nothing in common.....
Very poor taste TMZ!

56. It's quite unfortunate that despite making millions of people laugh while on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" 95 times and hundreds, if not thousands, of game show appearances, the only way you can commemorate Charles Nelson Reilly's life is by mocking his sexual orientation. It's possible the man had to endure his share of prejudice and hatred during his life. Maybe his death should mean something more than a cheap joke to you TMZ douche bags.

57. A PICTURE OF CHARLES NELSON REILLY WOULD BE BETTER

TMZ, YOU ARE IDIOTS OR TOO LAZY TO LOOK IN THE FILES FOR A PICTURE OF

CHARLES NELSON REILLY

SOME OF US HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM OR KNOWS HIS CREDITS

YOU PEOPLE AT TMZ ARE CRACK HEADS

58. Please remove the Telletubbie .

Mock all you want Jerry Springbad, but NOT Charles Nelson-Reilly.

CNR still keeps us laughing _everyday_ on Match Game (Game Show Channel.) -- A consummate artist.

TMZ diluted the humor it once used so appropriately. In fact, brought disgrace to its self.

SHAME ON TMZ!!! SHAME!!!

59. TMZ it is disrespectful to have that, I was looking for a place to say goodbye. He was a great and funny man. I saw him in person one time at Farmers Market. He was so friendly and nice to everyone. He will be missed. For the people who don't know who he was, he was on the Match Game A lot and very funny, some people are phoney, Not Charles :) keep them laughing Charles.
