Happy Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 1 hour ago, The Real Buffalo Joe said: @Gugny is right. (Never thought I'd see the day where I typed that.) You do realize that the show's creator was extremely liberal, right? As was Carol O'Connor. I lean to the right, and still enjoy the show, but Archie was written as an unintelligent ####### on purpose. Carol O'Connor was so talented though that he was able to play him in a way that made him loveable. I was not aware of the political leanings of the cast and creator; interesting regarding the background of the show. I'm a little too young to have seen the first runs, but used to watch the reruns and thought the show was hilarious. I enjoy watching some of the older shows and movies, as a good portion of them cannot be made in the same way nowadays (too politically incorrect.) I initially thought that @Gugny was just being whiney in his response, but I see what he was getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved That 70's show in the first 4-5 seasons. But it had a steep decline in quality after that. The show was cringeingly terrible long before Ashton Kutcher and Topher Grace left it. The characters just couldn't develop well. And I think Danny Masterson is in trouble currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I dont think Shatner has changed much (was just on Big Bang Theory recently), Candace Bergen was recently doing the canceled Murphy Brown reboot which may have had Laroquette on as a guest once.

There was well over a year break in between the first and 2nd season of Coopers Treasure. The thing I like about Coopers is there is factual evidence that supports his findings. He has information in those maps that show wreckage before wrecks were ever discovered like the Atocha. I love The Curse Of Oak Island. And I LOVED Hunting Hitler. But the fact remains that these shows are just big jerk offs. Never show any facts. Every episode is just a preview of next weeks “incredible find”. I watch Oak Island because I’m hooked. But I know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes me wonder which shows, if any, actually did better or at least well after a big turn over in cast. I'll ignore the many iterations of SNL over the years since that is the nature of that show. I was never really into Parks and Rec at all, but I know they had an early shakeup. So what shows out there were completely established, then had a big cast change and still kept on chugging? The only obvious cast change I can think of off hand was the mother change in Fresh Prince, but I wouldn't classify that as major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only obvious cast change I can think of off hand was the mother change in Fresh Prince, but I wouldn't classify that as major. I think Parks and Recs shakeup was more with a couple secondary characters and focusing more on Pratt and Aubrey Plaza. And I also wouldnt count Fresh Prince since it was more of a secondary character and they only brought in a new actress to take over the role. I think it's a little different when later in the series a main cast member leaves and the bring in new actors as new characters to fill the void instead of just replacing an actor and having someone new take over the role. It usually only happens after and actual death of an actor, or late in a shows run when cast members want to leave to do other things or have contract disputes. Threes Company had changed the landlords and brought in someone to replace Chrissy. I'm not sure how long they were on after that. I dont remember how long Newsradio was on after Hartmans death.

Many family sitcoms go downhill when kids start to age. They bring in a new kid or grandkid, and recycle plots from when the older sibling was that age a few decades ago. Perfect example is when the Olsen twins stopped being babies, Full House had Jesse's twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
