He was 72. <BR/> Daniels died of heart failure April 6, according to Mount Sinai Memorial Park. <BR/> Daniels won eight Emmys during his long television career, including three as co-creator and executive producer of ``Taxi'' and three as a writer on ``The Mary Tyler Moore Show.'' <BR/> He wrote for ``The Dean Martin Show'' and ``The Bill Cosby Show,'' and early Cosby situation comedy, before joining ``The Mary Tyler Moore Show,'' which ran from 1970 to 1977. He also wrote for the Cloris Leachman spinoff series, ``Phyllis.'' <BR/> He and three MTM Productions colleagues, James L. Brooks, David Davis and Ed. Weinberger, left in 1977 to set up a production unit at Paramount Pictures, the Los Angeles Times reported at the time. Their show ``Taxi,'' starring Judd Hirsch, Marilu Henner and Danny DeVito, debuted the following year and ran through 1983. <BR/> Daniels also co-created the Brenda Vaccaro series ``Lily,'' and co-wrote, with Brooks, the 1978 TV movie ``Cindy,'' a retelling of the Cinderella story with a black cast. <BR/> Among Daniels' other TV credits were ``The Kid,'' ``For Richer, For Poorer,'' ``Glory! Glory!'' and ``The Substitute Wife.'' <BR/> On Broadway, he composed music and lyrics for ``So Long 174th Street,'' a 1976 musical version of the play ``Enter Laughing.'' <BR/> Born in Toronto, Daniels attended the University of Toronto and before receiving a fellowship to study at Oxford. <BR/> He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Alene, and four children.VP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-41626053726793978912007-04-11T14:36:00.000-07:002007-04-11T14:36:00.000-07:00As good as Blake was I don't think he's a finalist...As good as Blake was I don't think he's a finalist.
