I've long heard about the The Man From U.N.C.L.E. episode, but I won't be able to see it because my cable affiliate runs paid programming in that slot (then comes back for MI and Get Smart, oddly enough)...! 
He doesn't deserve it.

Anyone doing that is, well, an idiot. Okay, perhaps uninformed and insensitive are fairer. Unlike Catholics (and perhaps many other faiths--I was raised Catholic so I know it best), who can delay a funeral and burial for a week or more, Jewish tradition (from what I've gathered from a number of Jewish friends of mine) essentially requires a swift ceremony and burial, followed by sitting shiva (a practice that, to me, strongly resembles Catholic wakes in terms of purpose, if not necessarily form--gathering friends and family to mourn and remember). Basically, Catholics and Jews do things in reverse order and therefore Shatner will have plenty of time to sit shiva. Moreover, Shatner was already in Florida and he is also 83 years old. Catching a red-eye for me, at 47, is something of a grind. I can only imagine at 83. Also, among people in show business, the tradition of "the show must go on" remains powerful. Of all people, especially for a charity event, who would have understood, Leonard Nimoy would have. Lastly, it is NO ONE's business how an individual chooses to grieve. Who are any of these "critics" to judge Shatner? Before my 18th birthday, I'd been to over 50 wakes and 30 funerals. I've seen myriad ways by which people grieve. There is no "one correct way" to do so.
^^^ I tend to agree with you Ovation. Moreover, the only people who should or shouldn't be, 'offended,' are Nimoy's family if he did or didn't attend.
Presumption of fans to draw judgement on celebrities in these circumstances is bizarre and in some cases outright scary the way they react / overreact to these situations.
