Why do TV shows honoring those who died during the year
air before the end of the year? Or, the year in review show airs on the 15th of December?? Nothing happens the last two weeks of the year? I guess if you are prominent you don't want to die on New Year's eve or you'll be left off the list and out of TV guides those who passed article.

1. I was thinking the same thing
It would suck to die on Dec. 31 because you'd never make the list

2. I think those people
would probably be included in next year's list.

3. It's not only an American custom
I watched the Japanese news broadcast on the International Channel this morning, and they had one of those retrospectives. Of course, I hadn't heard of most of the people.

4. a few years ago
Life Magazine did a special section in their year-end issue addressing this very thing. The section honored those who'd died in December of the year before -- those they'd missed in publishing the previous year's year-end issue.
