I don't just mean worse. I mean considerably worse.

I sensed a decline in Cheers when Shelley Long was replaced by Kirstie Alley, I just didn’t care for her character or acting.
I could be in the minority however, they did 270 episodes of that show and Alley was in about half of them, so clearly viewers were ok with her.
Same with Three's Company. People talk about how bad the show was after Chrissy left, and yet it got 4 more seasons with a finale.
shareGood example of a show that continued to succeed despite a big character change. I seem to recall both changes being over contract disputes.
Man, if I was on one of the most popular shows on TV at the time I’d pipe down and cash those checks!
I FEEL ABOUT DIANE THE SAME AS I FEEL ABOUT CHRISSY SNOW...BORING...I PREFER BOTH SHOWS POST CAST CHANGE.
shareTwo & A Half Men - Ashton Kutcher is simply not funny.
shareI was waiting for someone to mention this! Not only that, the show got considerably worse after Sheen's firing.
I like Jon Cryer but neither him nor Kutcher could carry the show.
Punchable face too.
shareI didn't even bother watching a Kutcher ep. They could have brought anyone in, the show was over when Charlie left. You don't just bring in a similar character type.
Cryer and the kid also weren't good enough to hold the show.
The X Files. I really like Robert Patrick but Mulder & Scully ARE the show.
Duchovny was a HUGE loss in my opinion.
Sleepy Hollow is another one. I really really like the first 2 seasons or so. Took a huge dive after one of the main actors left.
Lethal Weapon (tv show).. not as good as the movies but I genuinely enjoyed it. Become almost unwatchable after they replaced Martin Riggs with a boring ass character
Whoa, Duchovny left? This is the first time I've heard of this
shareHaha, Ok. Gonna be honest, no idea if you're being sarcastic or not right now.
shareI'm being serious. Have you mentioned this before?
shareMaybe? I think there was a similar-ish post by that Benny guy.
Genuinely can't recall. Dude asks a lotta questions
While on that note, how much money do you have in your bank account?
shareCurrently I have about 30 or so... hey wait a minute, I don't believe in banks.
Allow me to tell you about samoanjoes Investments...
shareYa, about that, All my money is currently held up in socks. No, you didn't misread that.
Everyone wouldn't shut up about investing in the sock market. So I did. I thought, hey, everyone wears socks. They're pretty popular. What could possibly go wrong?
Apparently, they were saying stocks, not socks.
HE SUED FOX FOR LOST MONEY...SOMETHING ABOUT FOX NOT GETTING ENOUGH FOR THE RIGHTS TO THE SHOW WHICH COST HIM MONEY...HIS CONTRACT WAS UP TO...SO THE SHOW HAD THE ALIENS ABDUCT MULDER...AND BROUGHT THE T-1000 IN...ALONG WITH A BUNCH OF NEW CAST MEMBERS...THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD ALTERNATE CASTS AND KEEP THE SHOW GOING FOR A LONG TIME...MULDER DOES RETURN FOR 12 EPISODES LATER ON.
shareLast Man Standing primarily with the loss of Molly Ephraim who was a comedy genius as the original middle daughter, Mandy. The replacement of Alexandra Krosney as the oldest daughter Kristin was also short-sighted.
shareUnderrated show. I saw it in its earlier seasons and remember the first daughter being replaced. I didn't care much for her replacement.
shareAh, yes. Nothing beats that first season, it's too bad it went in a different direction so soon.
shareGrowing Pains. The producers kept caving into Kirk Cameron's demands because they thought he made the show. The most interesting storyline was the Mike/Julie antics. Then he gets Julie McCullough fired using her Playboy appearance as an excuse, when in fact it was actually to get his girlfriend hired to take her place. From there the show went downhill fast. The lack of onscreen chemistry between Mike & Kate drove fans away. Ironic when you consider they are now married in real life.
shareNever liked him. He has a holier than thou attitude.
