New poll series coming from me on June 3
Jefferson for Steve on Married with Children. Steve was good and all but Jefferson was great with Al.
Taxi-replacing Randall Carver with Christopher Lloyd
Not sure if serious because it's so obvious, but this really doesn't count. The stars of the show held out, they replaced them with two imposters, and the network caved when they realized that was a bad idea. The ratings never rebounded (season 6 and 7 were both lower rated than the imposter year) and it was cancelled two years later. I wouldn't say the show got better, it just went back to what it was.
On Wings, though they overlapped a season, it seems Amy Yasbeck essentially replaced Thomas Haden Church...comedically not a great move but she was nicer to look at Adding Tony Shalhoub as Antonio in season 2 was unarguably a good move, though.
Underrated show. It's a shame it never seems to be on anymore. I liked Alex on the show. Wouldn't necessarily say it was "better", but it added a different dynamic. Not sure why they got rid of her, maybe they just felt the character had run its course.On Wings, though they overlapped a season, it seems Amy Yasbeck essentially replaced Thomas Haden Church...comedically not a great move but she was nicer to look at Adding Tony Shalhoub as Antonio in season 2 was unarguably a good move, though.
Wasn't very memorable, if so.I don't Amy Yasbeck was replacing THC, just an addition to create some more tension in the dynamic with the brothers and Crystal Bernard. Wasn't there another airplane mechanic after Lowell who was just basically a dumber version of him?
Adam Scott was a straight man too, though. For whatever reason, he had better chemistry with the rest.
FAMILY MATTERS

Urkel barely had any lines in season 1 !!!
Big Bang Theory arguably managed to extend its lifespan with excellent casting for the additional two women - Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch.
Often women are cast as the "straight person to the wacky husband" in sitcoms but all three women were able to hold their own with amusing character traits and interesting storylines.
It's funny how they changed Amy Farrah-Fowler from a Sheldon clone into a more original sexually repressed nerd looking for thrills.
I guess it doesn't really count as a "change" but more of an addition.
I get your opinion but with all due respect I couldn't disagree more.
Well, I suppose it's the fact that I think they'd mined everything comedic that was possible from "the hot girl + 4 nerds" setting so they had to switch something up.
Re-casting Jerry Stiller as Frank Costanza in Seinfeld. Barney Martin as Morty Seinfeld, too.
Vivica Fox replacing Cheryl Hines in Curb Your Enthusiasm:
I always preferred Cheryl Ladd to Farrah Fawcett on Charlie's Angels. I'm not sure the "acting" got better, though.
Cheryl never left the show.
