Heard on the radio this morning. Garry put ABC on the map with so many iconic primetime shows in the '70s that I watched. That was when ABC was going head-to-head against CBS (and their own set of iconic shows), while NBC was in the perennial basement before Brandon Tartikoff broke them out in the early '80s.

Garry and (sister) Penny Marshall -

Big R.I.P. and condolences to the family.
