"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Buffistae, I have a writing assignment to write about a character or actor who died on a TV show. So either a character gets killed off, or the actor dies and the show has to deal with it.

Anyway, a lot of the obvious choices have been taken including Joyce on Buffy and Henry on MASH and Tasha Yar and Chuckles the Clown and Lane Pryce.

I have a wide open field on GoT deaths and Seymour the dog on Futurama if I want, but what character deaths (on a TV show - so we can't use Wash on Serenity) had the most impact on you? Or which ones do you think are worth writing about?

Still mad at the justification for Logan on Veronica Mars

That does seem like a good one, but I didn't watch VM after the first season.

I remember being astonished that the shooting of J. R. Ewing seemed so important to so many people at the time, but now I can’t remember whether the character actually died.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

David Strickland dying during production of *Suddenly Susan* and the show's handling of his character's death as a result stands out to me. Plus, if you're also writing about Phil Hartman that's TWO of Andy Dick's costars whose deaths he had involvement in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Slate just did a whole package about fictional deaths, so you might find some inspiration there? To me the answer after Joyce Summers is always Wallace on the Wire.
