Just wondering. Did they keep buying goldfish and naming it Gertrude, and how many times did Nell accidently kill the fish?

Gertrude died a lot didn't she? LOL, I can count off the top of my head 3 times when Gertrude kicks the bucket.

What about the time when Grandpa visited?
I think the line was "The goldfish aren't making too much noise "
Something like that.

These are the one's I can remember Gertude croaking.
Pilot (with the vacume)
Magret's Birthday (with comet)

Herbie (Here Gertude have a drink)
Grandpa Visits (The goldfish aren't making too much noise)
Sam Faces Death (shot by Simpson)

Probably by the pizza Jonathan dropped in it.

LOL I actually thought about the episode where Jonathan drops the pizza into the fish tank, I though that Gertude would die for sure LOL. But I guess a little pizza crust and cheese didn't hurt the Ol' girl.

Gertrude must've been the "Kenny" of Gimme A Break!

OMG They Killed Gertude!

Remember when Sam tried to 'save' Gertude?
