when you first saw someone die on TV? Do you remember what show it was on and what your reaction was?

For me it was in 1977 on a medical drama called "MEDICAL CENTER"-in one episode a woman died of breast cancer.

Watching the made for TV movie "Brian's song" the true story of the football player Brian Piccolo who died of cancer ! I was a little girl and this was really sad! I was crying and very sad over it , as was my Mom and older Sister but I was really young , maybe too young that maybe I shouldn't have watched this than?

Starring a not yet as famous James Caan and Billy Dee Williams ! Good movie but very much a tear jerker!

I don't remember the first, but I know that when I see a death scene now I usually change the channel. I can't take it now. And if I see a scene with a funeral, burial, or anything involving a coffin, I'm gone in a second or two.

The first one that came to my mind was Kit McDonough. She played Patricia AKA Pattikins as a potential roommate on the Pilot of Three's Company. She always stood out to me when I noticed her on other shows as the woman who had her her bosom poked by Mr. Roper.
