Worse: Donna Reed replacing Barbara Bel Geddes as Miss Ellie on Dallas even if it was for only one season.
Best and worst character replacements on TV shows
- Thread starter cawoodsct
- Start date
Worst: Suzanne Summers replaced by Jenilee Harrison on Three's Company. They canned her after one season. Jenilee had a great figure but wasn't funny. Execs thought any hot blonde would work.
Best: Replacing Shelley Long on Cheers. Annoying average chick replaced by a hot one who was still funny.
Solid pick for Cheers, Rebecca was much more enjoyable and funny compared to Diane. I'll go one further and say Woody over Coach, although that may not be fair since the Actor who played Coach died.
Jennilee looked pretty damn good in the James Garner flick Tank.
But she spoke jive and country and let Ward be hard on the Beaver.
Donna Reed couldn't speak jive nor did Ward get near her beaver (unlike Barbara Billingsley). However, she did have a Wonderful Life with George Bailey.
Surely some of you had to watch a certain Soap to appease your gal. I'll take version 2.0, although all were pretty good.

Anthony Sullivan for Billy Mays.
Oxiclean commercials will never be the same.

2 more worst nominees: Bo & Luke replaced by Coy & Vance Duke on Dukes of Hazzard. Top rated show tanked over this contract fight.
Home Improvement: Pam was the hottest woman on the planet at this time. How can you replace that? Nice try though.

Brilliant! How did no one mention that yet?
Oh.
It was the very first post in the thread.
When your writing is so bad that you mess up Spader, it certainly merits a spot on the worst list.
Win-win for everyone, imo. UK lost a douche and UNC gained one.
Carey is no Barker but he's come around on TPIR. For other gameshows, Trebek on Jeopardy, Sajak on WoF.

Newhart had two of the best. Julia Duffy as Stephanie was a big improvement from Jennifer Holmes as Leslie. The same with Peter Scolari as Michael replacing Steven Kampmann as Kirk Devane.

Post was funny but super hot. Foley was good but it was an upgrade.

I've never seen anything this incorrect. My pubescent eyes witnessed the movie Saturn 3, and I rewound the shower scene so many times I was afraid I would ruin the rental tape. The only thing that even comes close was Morgan Fairchild popping her boobs out in a hot tub in that sucky movie with the gay Hardy boy.

I loved Markie Post back in the day. I'd still lay pipe to that old dry hole
Ok. I will concede that position....
Oh by the way, I am a Lexy's dad as well, short for Alexandria.
I think I see her penisOf course you would. You'll hit anything. But here's some more eye candy for you.
Don't know if these were mentioned or not.

WORST
I watched Andy Griffith growing up because it was a way to hang out with my dad
Warren's "replacement" of Barney was awful
(the replacements for the mayor and Floyd were improvements though)
I also watched a little Dukes of Hazard as a kid
I think BOTH of the Duke boys were replaced at one point?
Maybe just Bo and Enis as the Deputy?
BEST
Watched MASH as a kid
I can never remember who came first - BJ Honeycutt or Trapper -- both were solid in their roles and the show didn't miss a beat
