I am thinking about times when, for a variety of reasons, an actor or actors leave a popular tv show, but the execs don’t abandon the formula, and just drop a new actor into what is essentially the same role. I don’t think it has ever worked well, which makes me wonder why they repeatedly do it. For example this happened with the Dukes of Hazard, Two and a Half Men etc.
