Here's a fun tv question. Which show felt different to you after someone important left?

A notable example of a show that experienced a significant change after a cast member's departure is "Cheers." When Nicholas Colasanto, who played the beloved Coach, passed away in 1985, the show introduced Woody Harrelson as Woody Boyd. While Woody brought his own charm and humor, the dynamic of the show subtly shifted with the absence of Coach's endearing and often oblivious wisdom. The writers skillfully integrated Woody into the ensemble, maintaining the show's popularity and charm, but fans often felt the nostalgic void left by Coach's character.
