A recent thread as had me thinking.
Can anyone think of a series/program where the main or secondary character was replaced?
Did that program survive?
Did it improve?
Is it ever a good idea to do this?
The one that springs to mind for me is Man Behaving Badly. Not one of my favourites but we watched it anyway. The first series of course with Harry Enfield then being replaced by Neil Morrissey and did well in the ratings.
The other one that springs to mind is Cheers, when Diane Chambers left Rebecca Howe was brought in, not as a barmaid but has owner but still ment as a replacement for Diane. I don't think it want as well after that.
