Hey what was that FOX black-family comedy in the 90s that started doing a broadcast-live gimmick one season and then one week the lead just fucking died and they had to write an episode around it?
Wait I think I’m confusing Roc (the live one) with another
You might be thinking of The Bernie Mac Show, but it was gone before Bernie Mac died.
No that’d be after I went to college and this was before high school at latest
maybe it’s some Candle Cove bullshit but I swear I could remember this time the actor just straight died
and it was in the news, and the following episode opened with them doing a normal sitcom plot but then it turned out the patriarch just died of a heart attack at the bowling alley
…ok it was The Royal Family on CBS with Red Foxx and Della “the senior gospel angel on Touched By An Angel” Reese, 1991-2
Developed as “Chest Pains”, ha!
