Dale McRaven, an Emmy-nominated television writer and the man of `Perfect Strangers` and `Mork & Mindy,` passed away at the age of 83, in his Porter Ranch, California, home as a result of complications from lung cancer. David McRaven, McRaven`s son, confirmed his father`s passing to Variety. McRaven garnered nominated for his writing on the ABC television series "Mork & Mindy," which he co-created with Joe Glauberg and the late film director Garry Marshall, with whom he had a long-standing professional relationship, in both the Writers Guild of America Awards and the Primetime Emmys.
According to Variety, following his retirement from the programme due to creative differences, McRaven went on to create the well-known ABC sitcom "Perfect Strangers," which aired for eight seasons. A few years after the series` finale in 1993, McRaven fully left the film and television industries and devoted himself to wildlife and landscape photography. The 1960s sitcom `The Joey Bishop Show` on NBC gave McRaven his first employment in the entertainment industry. When Marshall hired him and his writing partner, Carl Kleinschmidt, in 1964, it marked the beginning of both men`s successful television careers. McRaven and Kleinschmidt worked together on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" from their office on Sunset Boulevard, sharing the 1966 WGA Award for best episodic comedy.
