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.
Yes! And the phrase was later immortalized in song on Cop Rock. [link]
Oooh! Hill Street Blues had a great "death." In its pilot one of two imperiled officers had died, but when the show was picked up the character had been so well received he pulled through. [link]
Then there's Roseanne I & II where they killed Dan Connor because John Goodman wanted to get going on his film career, resurrected him for the sequel, then killed Roseanne when she shot her mouth off and made the show The Connors... which harkens back to Valerie/Valerie's Family/The Hogan Family where Valerie Harper annoyed someone and was killed off. And, of course, Eight is Enough which was supposed to be about a big happy stable family and then Diana Hyland died, recasting her was deemed evil, and they made him a single dad with a girlfriend.

Oooh, that's right.

I was also a Hill Street fan, so I remember it as well.
I don't watch Grey's!

Oh yeah, with bonus John Travolta tragedy in that mix.
I know I'm late to the game, but I wanna play anyway. I third Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street. Rizzoli & Isles' Detective Frost dying in a car accident offscreen because the actor (Lee Thompson Young) had committed suicide hit me hard at the time.
Also Mallory Archer on Archer when Jessica Walter died.
Timelies all!
Something ate all the cherry tomatoes on our plant, ripe or otherwise. I guess that's what happens when you have a plant out in the open like that.
A/C working again, hooray.
A/C is a most wonderful thing. Yay!
Hello. I’ve had a fever for four days now (Covid tests were negative) which has morphed into a fever with diarrhea.
