South Park - Bye Bye Kenny (like DUH!)
From Entertainment Weekly Online:
TUBE TALK Oh, my God! They killed Kenny! And they killed him once and for all. After suffering various horrible deaths in 80 ''South Park'' episodes, Kenny died one last time in the Dec. 5, episode, and this time, as he wasted away from a muscular disease, the other characters were actually moved. ''It was the one episode where [all the characters] cared [he was dying] for once,'' series co-creator Matt Stone told the Knoxville News-Sentinel. ''After that, we said, 'Why doesn't he just stay dead?' And it was like, 'Okay, let's just do that.' It was that easy of a decision.'' He added, ''I think a lot of people probably haven't noticed. I couldn't care less. I am so sick of that character.'' Stone and co-creator Trey Parker apparently felt they had reached a dead end with the mute, accident-prone Kenny. He's already been replaced, in both the opening credits and as a new target for abuse, by towhead schoolmate Butters. That could change, too; Wednesdays episode features the gang firing Butters as their ''replacement friend'' and holding auditions for a new pal....

Who will it be? Token? Tweek? Wendy? Bebe? Timmy?
I hope in the end, Butters hangs on though. His character is great.
