Sorry, but it was, "Let's be careful out there". We watched this religiously at the time. Esterhaus's death was a real, huge shock, second only to Henry Blake's in M*A*S*H. The difference here being that it was actually the actor who died.

Catherine Christman on MRS SANDRINGHAM - THE WEST WING

There were quite a few on ER. Mark Greene, Robert Romano, Greg Pratt, and Lucy Knight all come to mind.
John Ritter died while he was on 8 Simple Rules --he and Katey Sagal played parents and Penny from Big Bang Theory was one of their kids. They wrote his character as dying in the show with the family dealing with it.
