It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 443 & 444 - What happens when a character dies?/What happens when the star dies?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV

 

First, we're taking a look at what happens when deaths occur on TV shows.  To start, we look at a handful of incidents where a character dies in a TV show, why the character dies, and how a show handles such an occurrence.  This episode does not talk about actual actor passings; we will cover that subject on Thursday.

 

Then, we look at the more tragic side of what happens when someone on a show passes away in real life.  This episode gets into some potentially disturbing topics.  Listener discretion is advised.
