I think it’s incorrect to say that the writers “killed off” Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street.

The actor really did die so they wrote it into the show to explain to kids what had happened, what it means when some one dies, etc.

Micheal Jeter (Green Mile, Fisher King) also played a character on Sesame Street and passed away a few years back. But they never really explained that on the show.

I managed to get 100%. I started by answering the ones I knew (Simpsons, Roseanne, Seinfeld, MASH), then making educated guesses on the ones I didn’t. For the shows I’ve never seen I did use wikipedia to find out if the show was a comedy or drama. For example, I’ve never seen Mary Heartman, Mary Hartman. It was on before I was even born.

Knew a couple,guessed on the others. Did Martin Mull write his own character’s death? How ’bout toilet seat girl in Dead Like Me?

Got ‘em all.

Do all the final-episode deaths of the characters in “Six Feet Under” count?

I scored 100%.

I don’t watch that much TV, but I
made some educated guesses on the
ones I didn’t know. For example,
the only character who could
have died in Viet Nam would have
been the kid from The Wonder
Years.

I also run a Web site called
Dead People Server where I track
this sort of thing (for
real people, not for characters).

I’m a little surprised there
was no reference to Chuckles
the Clown famous death in this
quiz, but maybe it was too
obvious.

I didn’t do very well, 33%, but I got to comment on how sad the Henry Blake episode was. Another one I thought was real sad/shocking was when Dr. Dennis Gant played by omar epps on ER got hit by the train. It was just so sudden when the pager went off and the realization hit you.

12 out of 12
Kind of a double edged sword of pride and shame.

How about “chuckles the clown” from Mary Tyler Moore?
He was dressed as a peanut and was attacked by an elephant

3 out of 12 – the lowest score so far. I haven’t watched TV since high school (real life was so much more interesting).
