Obit:Gary Franklin @ 79-film/entertainment critic on KCBS-TV, KABC-TV & KCOP-TV

The German-born Franklin first came to the attention of Southern Californians in the 1970s as the roving nightside radio reporter for all-news radio station KFWB-AM, where he signed off in "Dragnet"-like style: "Gary Franklin, Car 98, out!"

While at KFWB, Franklin occasionally filled in as a movie reviewer, and in 1981 he replaced David Sheehan as the entertainment critic at KNXT-TV Channel 2 (now KCBS-TV). Five years later, Franklin moved to KABC-TV Channel 7, where he remained until 1991.
