I'm sure that I'll think of other examples. But still, it is rare for a sitcom to let the character die along with the person who played them. TBH, I think it's a sign of respect. Having her death provide story fodder for three episodes is a bit much though.
I agree dev. i thought Cheers handled things very well. Three episodes is way to much.
