Can you tell me some comedy shows where a regular character died?

I can only think of Maclean Stevenson in MASH in 1975.

Can you tell me any other occasions where a comedy show had a character die, usually comedy shows try to stay clear of death in their plots?

    New Girl idk if this counts but Winston’s cat who was a significant part of the show.

    Two and a half men(Charlie)

    If they do deaths they usually don't kill off a main character. Its usually someone who's not a big part of the show unless the actor was fired(like Roseanne and Charlie Sheen) or the actor died
