I think it may be a good idea to list the last known show Mr. Hooper appeared in during his lifetime, for those who might be interested. If there was a storyline based around it, that might be important to add. I presume he did appear in a few episodes during the 1982-1983 season, with some of those episodes taped shortly before his death (and airing shortly afterwards, likely in early 1983).

I agree, that would be interesting to know. Unfortunately, I don't know if any of us have access to that information right now. We might discover it in the future. -- Danny (talk) 01:21, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, good luck in finding the information; I'm sure it'll turn up somewhere. [[Briguy52748 23:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)]]

Will Lee taped his final segments as Mr. Hooper in November of 1982 (I don't know which episodes these were). And yes some of the footage didn't air until after Lee was dead. After wjocj the character just kind of "disappeared". The death of Hooper/Lee would not be explained, or really even alluded to, on camera until Episode 1839. -- Brad D.
