I have that feeling too! Of course, TNG killed off Tasha Yar in the episode "Skin of Evil," but that was because the actress wanted out. They brought the character back once in an alternate-universe ep ("Yesterday's Enterprise"), and then brought the actress back again to play the half-Romulan daughter of the alternate-universe character (the daughter describes her mother's death, so they actually managed to kill Tasha Yar *twice*).
Horatio Hornblower killed off Archie Kennedy (*sniff*), but I'm not sure if that was in the books.
Richie got killed off in Highlander. He had been a major character in the first season, but by the time he died he was more of a recurring guest.
