I remember in one of those Brady Bunch "reunion" shows they changed the actress who played Cindy one time, and then changed Marsha in another one.

Actually they sorta mentioned the mom in fresh prince. Didn't do it right away but at the beginning of one of the seasons Will and Jaz take a minute or two before the show to joke around. They make fun of how baby nicky was a baby last season and now he's like... 5 years old, and then Jaz says: "hey, who's playing the mom this year?"

:D

On Married with Children...there was a period where there was a younger brother, "Seven" who just sort of showed up. He wasn't around very long, though.

Oh, and they changed the voice actor who plays "Mom" on the Brak show :D

Dr. Greene's daughter on E.R. Then to introduce the new actress they re-shot a scene that originally had the old actress and showed it during "previously, on E.R.". It was trippy.

I hate how they dumped the old captain and got Sheridan in there. Apparently there was a bunch of crap going on with the network not liking the first dude. The original guy was better.

He stuck around, just in a different position.

No one mentioned the classic Batman series with Adam West. That show had like what.. 3 different catwomen I think?? or just 2?? I know of Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt. Was there another?

Also, there were two different Lionel Jefferson's in "The Jeffersons".

While you're on the subject of Batman, don't forget that there were 2 different Riddlers as well. Frank Gorshin started the role and was later replaced by John Astin.

There have been at least 6 Dr Who's

On Buffy the Vampire Slayer Willow was recast between the pilot and the premiere.

They even had a movie with all of the Dr. Whos present. :D

Pheobe was recast between the original pilot of Charmed and the pilot that was aired.

He didn't just show up. He was introduced as a relative of Peggy's from Wanker County. His parents abandoned him in Chicago and when Al went to return him he saw how the family was living and in a rare moment of compassion decided to keep the kid. Seven's father was played by Bobcat Goldthwait. Although speaking of Married with Children there were at least 2 different voices of Buck the dog. He was mostly voiced by Kevin Curran who also played Buck on the one episode where a Gypsy curse turned him into a human. For several episodes Buck was voiced by Cheech Marin.
