The Replacement Actors
Some shows are all about their stars. "Seinfeld" couldn't have existed without Jerry. "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" would have been "The __ Show." And clearly, "The Cosby Show" needed Bill.
But other series are all about their situations. Pretty blondes were interchangeable on "Charlie's Angels," and we're guessing that "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" will do just fine now that Jeff Goldblum's on the case following the departure of Mr. Big... oops, we mean Chris Noth. Here are some of the best and worst series that made cast replacements and lived (sometimes briefly) to tell their tales.

pepe said "Honestly, Jimmy Kimmel is the worst to me. What is he exactly? He's not charming, witty, or quick on his feet during his monologue, he's terrible with guests and he always looks half asleep. I will never understand how/why ABC either chose him or why after this long he's still on the air. It's baffling!!!!"
FEEME1 said "Wow...That's foul. "Tempestt" was noticed--and missed--when the show was on and then cancelled. It had a slightly fresher approach than what's being lauded today (Rachel Raye? Please!). I don't think it would've won awards given a longer run, but it certainly didn't reek of 'middle child syndrome', either. "
lifelong said "What people do in their lives its their business..just because he is an actor( so what, that's just a job).. He is human.. let us not forget he too has emotions..shopping spree, love life.. and etc just like the rest of us.. so people that always are interested to know about actors so much.. wanna know what they do and when.. you guys dont have a f***ing life. Get a life.. a job.. a something! See you dont wanna be you!"
fed-up said "Chevy Chase was very funny when he was on SNL. That was a very funny show during the 70s, with the first set of comedians but, like Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase was a flop when he got his own show. And Alf was just too strange--he was just awful--a disaster! I really hated Alf, really did not like that character! Wasn't cute or adorable. Didn't like him at all. Still don't!"
Timo said "C'mon folks, the dude just a cool good actor. I don't care what kind of movie it is as long as Nicolas Cage or Denzel (my other obsession) are in it. His spending? I would buy all that shit especially the houses if I could afford it. Octopus and Cobra? NO. I laughed my ribs off from his admission ...."We come from a long lineage of robbers and highwaymen in Italy. Even killers." Go Nic just don't end up broke like Mike Tyson!"
majik said "eBay was made for people like this. Some of the things owned by Nicholas will go for huge money as long as it does not appear to be a firesale. I enjoy all of his movies and do hope that Mr. Cage can continue to provide the entertainment on and off screen for a very long time to come."
mickey_dees2009 said "It seems to me that some people are forgetting where we live. This is the United States of America! And as such we are entitled to freedoms. If we choose to spend our money on "weird" items, then so be it! Its our money and we can do with it as we wish. Put yourself in his shoes and you would more than likely buy what he is being criticized for. Would you like for the people or the government to tell you what you can and cannot buy or own? NO! Get off it! Nic Cage is a great actor. Period.And as far as 'helping charities , he does help by donating his time and money (money that he worked for) to charities and needy orginations. "Help the the children and people of Kenya"? For those of who still believe in God and doing what is morally right, Take care of what is in your own backyard. Clean up this country and then we will be in better shape to help others. Also, who was it that came up with the website godismichaeljackson, is a fool. Pure and simple.! That is blasphemy 100 % ! No human (dead or alive) can compare to God."

Here's two that were missed:
Roseanne
Becky played by Alicia (Lecy) Goranson and Sarak Chalke..
The Dukes of Hazzard
Bo and Luke Duke (John Schneider and Tom Wopat) replaced by
Coy and Vance Duke (Byron Cherry and Christopher Mayer).
The Becky character worked....the Duke boys DIDN"T.

Has anyone seen the show lately? He's brillant like Donofrio's character and I like him.

Chris Noth was excellent on Criminal intent why anyone would think that jeff goldblum could replace him or anyone for that matter. He is a dull, dreary man. I'll watch the reruns instead.

Keep Grey's Anatomy like it is. I hope Izzie stays and I would like to see Kelly and her pediatric doctor develop their relationship. It is important for the audience to see how gay relationships develop. Everything else should stay the same/

I really don't think Jeff Goldblum is any credit to the program. He was a has been before he even got started. He is fine for roles where he keeps his mouth shut. He is best fitted chasing other has been "Dinasoaurs" ie; jarassic park!!! If the writers think that the humourus comercial where he agrues with his female cop partner about how things might be currently done is a credit to this show then the show will only be doomed for failure! Lets face it this program is no NCIS, or CSI MIAMI, CSI NEW YORK, HOUSE these are the shows people are watching.

How about Dick York being replaced by Dick Sargent as the SAME PERSON, Darrin Stephens in Bewitched. How weird was that?

Another replacement to note is Jon Lovitz replacing Phil Hartman (after his death) in NewsRadio. Lovitz didn't replace the character of Phil, but Lovitz's character was a friend of Phil's character in the show. Lovitz did the role as a tribute to Phil, who was his real-life friend.
