Could her name be added to the thread title for those of us who don’t watch _The Simpsons_ and have no idea who Mrs Krabappel is? I’m sure there are more than just me. ---

Another oldster who remembers her from the Bob Newhart Show. Her character was one of the reasons that show was so memorable. RIP, “Carol.” ---

the next new episode, where the could stick an “in memorium” in the credits will be November 3, “Four Regrettings and a Funeral”. ---

If that’s the episode where they kill off another, different character, maybe not. In fact, I wonder if they’ll reschedule. Assuming they’re able. ---

My first recollection of Marcia Wallace is actually from the “Merv Griffin Show”, where she was a fairly frequent guest, and could be counted on to make risque remarks and puns. RIP to a fun personality and distinctive voice. ---

I’m a bit surprised she hasn’t been mentioned on MeTV, which airs reruns of the “Bob Newhart Show.” When a celebrity on one of the shows they air passes away, they usually run an “In Memoriam” notice. ---

> [@Flywheel](#): > > Marcia Mitzman Gaven voiced Maude in a few episodes before they killed the latter off. Did she? I know she voiced Roswell’s other characters (e.g. Miss Hoover, Helen Lovejoy), but I thought the reason they killed off Maude was because Roswell wasn’t doing the voice any more. > [@cochrane](#): > > I’m a bit surprised she hasn’t been mentioned on MeTV, which airs reruns of the “Bob Newhart Show.” When a celebrity on one of the shows they air passes away, they usually run an “In Memoriam” notice. GSN will be airing a “tribute” on November 1 from 8 AM to noon Eastern - four episodes of CBS-era _Match Game_, two of _Password Plus_, and two of _The $100,000 Pyramid_. ---

Also, tonight MeTV will be running two episodes of “Bob Newhart” centering around Carol. “The Crash of 29 Years Old” > [@](#): > > Feeling unfulfilled as a woman, and having just passed her 29th birthday, Carol quits her job as Bob’s receptionist. After having been gone for a while, Carol suddenly shows up at one of Bob’s group-therapy sessions and creates a situation in which Bob finds himself more of a patient than a doctor. “Carol’s Wedding” > [@](#): > > A blind-date-initiated, 12-hour romance culminates in Carol Kester’s civil marriage to a handsome travel agent. ---
