Why he might be annoying:

    In movies, he was usually cast as the not-too-bright friend of the lead.
    He came out of retirement to reprise Abner Kravitz in the short-lived series Tabitha.
    After he died, the vehicle transporting his body from Cedars Sinai Hospital to Mount Sinai Memorial Park got into a fender bender. When the driver got out to exchange insurance info, two carjackers swiped the hearse, only to abandon it a couple of blocks later, probably when they realized they had company.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He appeared in 'Bewitched' with both Dick Sargent and Dick York and was in the movie 'Sergeant York' -- this means something! (Okay, maybe it doesn't.)
    He allowed servicemen and veterans visiting LA to stay at his ranch rather than pay for a hotel.
    After being told of George's posthumous carjacking, his brother said it seemed a fitting end and he could imagine George laughing about his last adventure.
