Dead: Dr. George Fischbeck, longtime Los Angeles TV weatherman, at 92. Avuncular, with moustache and everpresent bow tie, on KABC-TV for 20 years and a few more at KCBS-TV, he was a bridge from the days you got the weather from guys like New York's Tex Antoine (until his fateful joke) and Dr. Frank Field to today's Hot Weather Babe trend (why, yes, I do watch CBS 2 News in L.A., why do you ask?). Put him in the Lloyd Lindsay Young category of schticky but memorable. FUN FACT: Tom Waits gave Dr. George a shout at the end of one of his songs. (KABC-TV/Los Angeles)
