on CHEERS Coach also died; but they didn't deal with it. It's the episode where Woody comes, and he asks for Ernie Pantuzo. Sam says "Oh I'm sorry, I guess you never heard. Coach passed away a couple months ago". And later; Diane (who was away at the time) saw Sam and said "Oh Sam, I'm so sorr to hear about Coach". And Sam said "Yea, we're all gonna miss him".
But that's all they said about it.

on THE NEW DICK VAN DYKE SHOW once, Dicks uncle died.
Robs grandfather died once on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW.
And, I'm surprised noone's mentioned what are probably the 2 most famous ones-the "Chuckles bites the dust" episode of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW and the episode "Abbysynia Henry" on MASH (that's the one where Col. Blake dies).

On Full House, Jesse's grandfather from Greece died. His name was Popouli or something like that. It was a weird Greek name. Sorry to any Greek people I just offended.
