I guess 2016 wasn't an anomaly
I guess 2016 was just the first year our favorite famous people started passing away en masse and I guess it is going to be like this from now on.

It's inevitable, we might as well get used to it...

People need to realize that the second half of the 20th century saw an unprecedented explosion of pop culture in movies, TV, music, etc., and many of the celebrities from the beginning of that era are aging out.
2016 wasn't an anomaly. It's going to be the new normal for the foreseeable future.

This really sums it up. Same thing has happened in my family...only my two brothers (and some cousins) are left, but the entire older generation of parents, grandparents, aunt and uncles is completely gone.
As for Mary, I was too young for the Dick Van Dyke Show, but watched all of the Mary Tyler Moore Show during its initial run - what a great show. Amazingly, other than Ted Knight, who passed away 30 years ago, the rest of the cast was still around until now.
Seems like I was just watching the memorable final episode of the MTM Show...yet it was 40 years ago.
