DAVID CARRADINE - CARRADINE GUEST SHOT TO AIR ON MENTAL

CARRADINE GUEST SHOT TO AIR ON MENTAL

Fox has decided to proceed with plans to air next Tuesday's episode of the hospital drama Mental , which features David Carradine as a man who becomes catatonic after being struck by lightning. Washington Post TV columnist Lisa de Moraes said that if the character had become suicidal or if the episode was "suggestive" of anything related to Carradine's death in Bangkok on Thursday, Fox would have pulled it. "Instead," de Moraes noted, " Mental stands to attract more viewers in light of the Carradine news." She added that Fox plans to air "some kind of Carradine RIP" at the end of the broadcast.
