Where To Watch
Which TV characters said goodbye in these episodes?
Sometimes even lead characters have to say goodbye early.
Not every major character makes it to the end. Even cherished sitcoms such as M*A*S*H and The Andy Griffith Show had significant cast turnover over their runs.
Sometimes, even lead characters — heck, sometimes even title characters — bolt long before the series finale.
We've gathered some famous farewells from classic television. (Note: We are counting their final appearance as a regular, recurring cast member and not counting cameo returns.) Don't worry, we have clues, too.
See if you can match these final episodes to the correct recurring characters!

You got 9 out of 12 - It's so hard to say goodbye. Unless you did not score well. How did you fare? Wow this was tougher than I expected. Should have been 10 of 12. Fat-fingered #1 and picked Gomer but knew the answer. Had no clue on #8 & #11. Guessed wrong both times. But I'll take it.
11/12

The "Happy Days" episode "Ralph's Family Problem" was Richie's last episode as a regular but I also remember that Ralph left after that episode as well so there really should be 2 correct answers to that question.
6/12....That means I only knew this in a half-@$$€) manner!....so sad...
