hen television whiz
Brandon Tartikoff lost
his battle against cancer
at the age of 48 recently, —\
mourners such as Jerry Seinfeld and
Rhea Perlman comforted themselves at
the funeral by singing one of
Tartikoff's favorite songs — the
Hebrew "L:Dor v' Dor" "Generation
to Generation."
In fact, Tartikoff's wife Lillian
asked the hundreds of Hollywood
stars who came to pay their respects to
sing the song twice to honor her hus- \
band, the former NBC entertainment
division head who brought to the
small screen such classic shows as "Hill
Street Blues," "Cheers" and "LA Law."
Tartikoff, a Long Island native, was
)
known as a boy genius in the 1980s
when he helped catapult NBC to rat-
ings heaven with a string of huge net-
work hits that helped define the popu-,_/
.___ \
lar culture of the decade.
Tartikoff had been suffering from
Hodgkin's disease since he was 23.
