Due to the nature of filming the series (episodes were not filmed in consecutive order for their respective season and cold opens were either filmed independently or were scenes cut out of a previous episode) Nicholas Colasanto's death led to a somewhat confusing latter half of season three for his character Coach. His last consecutive appearance in each episode was season three, episode seventeen, "The Mail Goes to Jail". The last episode filmed entirely with Colasanto was season three, episode twenty-three "Cheerio, Cheers". Coach also appeared in the cold open of season three, episode twenty-five, "Rescue Me", due to the aforementioned way some cold opens were filmed for episodes. The episodes in which he did not appear briefly explained in each episode where Coach was at the time, usually by Sam. Finally, in season four, episode one, "Birth, Death, Love, and Rice", Sam tells Woody, who comes in looking for Coach, that Coach passed away. As a nod to the character and actor, in the series finale, "One for the Road", Sam adjusts a picture of Geronimo, which Colasanto kept in his dressing room as a "good luck charm". The picture hung up on the set of the bar, and can often be seen, after the actor's death. A line Colasanto had trouble remembering and wrote near the entrance to the set became a good luck charm for the cast, touching it every day as they walked in. It was later painted over when the set was repainted, very much upsetting members of the cast, some of which, according to Ted Danson, threatened to quit.
