Just like all the self-absorbed TV gasbags and hucksters that came before him, Corky's just too full of himself to even take notice of just how much he isn't going to be missed ("Bye Folks," May 29).

On second thought, I guess I do owe the man. If it hadn't been for his early obnoxious commercial appearances, I might never had gotten around to asking my e-savvy son-in-law to show me how to set up my TIVO so I could fast-forward through any and all of his commercials whenever they showed up on a program I was watching or taping.

Bye bye, Corky. No, you won't be missed. And watch out that that studio taping room door doesn't hit you on the butt on your way out.
