      I was very shocked and sadden by Phil Hartman's passing.
      Look, I understand that Bren had mental issues but for what she did, I just can't forgiven someone for taking the life of a great talent and a great father.

      Yes. I was so sad that we lost Adam West who played Batman in the 1960's live action Batman TV show as well as Mayor West in Family Guy. Not only that Gilbert Gotfried passed away recently too. I remember watching The Fairly OddParents growing up when he voiced Dr. Bender, as well as Digit in Cyberchase. Both shows were my childhood and I am going to miss Gilbert and his gruffy voice.

    I'm so happy that Lynn Thigpen is honored in this video. For years after her death, I thought she was a forgotten veteran actress, but thank goodness that videos like this that can acknowledge her and her work. My dad still watches The District in reruns and we talk about her, especially her character dying in the middle of the series. Recently I saw that episode of Ella's death and it brings tears to my eyes, knowing that it isn't just the show, that Lynn died along with her character. John Ritter and Phil Hartman were a part of my childhood and that was devastating to me when they died. May everyone featured in this video rest in peace.

      John Ritter and Luke Perry died so young, and from burst artery cardiac/stroke related deaths. And they were in their early 50s. It makes you wonder, some people live to 90 where others drop at 52 from burst arteries, even though both groups could've battled the same high blood pressure issues, high blood pressure being what increases chance of burst arteries. I suppose that some of it is not just high blood pressure but also heredity. Even though battling high blood pressure for years increases the chances, it doesn't automatically mean that you'll die from a burst major artery at age 52 or 53 like Luke Perry or John Ritter did

    Stanley Kamel on Monk, and Lis Sladen from Doctor Who and the spinoff series Sarah Jane Adventures. The latter had 6 episodes in the can that the BBC delayed airing until later in the year. Which reminds me; Legendary British actor Bernard Cribbins, who just passed away, has a Doctor Who episode in the can that has yet to air playing his beloved role on the series as Wilfred Mott.

    I’m kinda surprised that they didn’t mention Mrs. Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory.
    There was also Mr Hooper on Sesame Street, which was how Big Bird (as well as many young viewer at home) learned about death.
    Then there was the sarcastic, chain smoking bailiff on Night Court (I forget her name) who was replaced by a very similar character with a very similar personality, who herself died after only a couple of seasons.
    I’m sure that they didn’t leave these people off the list for any malicious reasons. They only had 20 slots to fill after all. And some people might not have even remembered the shows some of them were from. But they at least could have had an “Honourable Mentions” list right before they got to #1.

      Ok I’m sorry I swear this is the last one. Anyways, about the Three Stooges I don’t know if either of them count.
      First would be Curly Howard. During production of Half-Wits Holiday, he suffered a stroke on May 6, 1946. although it didn’t kill him, it did effectively write him off the show, and he was replaced by Shemp. He didn’t die until January 18, 1952, nearly six years later, but the show was still ongoing then.
      Now less debatably for this list is Shemp. He died in 1955 when only four of eight contracted films had been made, and to make the rest, they had to use the infamous Fake Shemp
