		Gordon Jump, the avuncular television actor best remembered as "the Big Guy" boss Arthur Carlson in the television series WKRP Cincinnati and as "Ol' Lonely," the hapless repairman with nothing to do on Maytag commercials, has died.
		Jump, according to his family, suffered from pulmonary fibrosis, which causes scarring of the air sacs in the lungs, leading to heart or respiratory failure.
		Jump, who was the Maytag man in television and print ads, on billboards and at about 40 store openings and trade shows annually for 14 years, relinquished the role to character actor Hardy Rawls in July.

		There's something magical about the name Gordon, and Barenaked Ladies must have known it when they assigned the moniker to their 1992 debut album.
		The liner notes listed 57 Gordons -- including "veal gordon bleu" -- and the album was a huge hit in their native Canada, laying the groundwork for the Ladies' current incarnation as buzz band du jour.
		It's too bad, though, since their new album sucks the big donkey and Gordon is about as catchy, clever, and poppy as mainstream nice-guy rock gets.
