>one of the show's main characters gets killed/written off in the third season
>their replacement character makes the show go downhill
Why does this always happen? Has one show ever succeeded at replacing a main character.
Does this ever really happen in cartoons tho?
Pretty sure this happened in Dexter. But thats no cartoon.

Parks and Recreation got rid of the boring guy who Leslie wanted to fuck and successfully replaced him with two accountants who were not a shit.
But that's not a cartoon, and I can't think of any cartoons where this happens.

Cheers replaced Diane with Rebecca
Would Tom becoming a main character in Daria count? Cause he fucking pulled the show down to the shitter.

He sort of replaced Trent (as Daria's love interest), so I guess it would count.

Uh, Reboot perhaps? I mean, Bob wasn't killed outright and returned at the end, but Enzo's character stepped up and improved a huge amount even before he became Matrix.

Doctor Who. Well, kind of.
The only example of this that comes to my mind is the last season of That 70's Show.

Why third season specifically? What show are you talking about?
/co/ - Television and Film
