I remember Cousin It. Most folks don't know that it wasn't a real person under there, but actually a half Collie, half Sasquatch mix. Here he is posing with his Momma.

They taught It how to walk around the set, and make funny noises. Poor thing passed away during a freakish fire during season 3. The animal trainers and producers had been trying to teach It how to smoke for an upcoming scene, (brazingly ignoring all of the no smoking signs on the set). Sadly, It never stood a chance against that freshly refilled Zippo.... He was gone in a flash. It's mom never littered again, and It's dad disappeared into the woods, rumored to be living in the great Northwest.

The show just wasn't the same after that. :(
