Topic: Worst replacement for a main character on TV?It's always hard when an actor decides to move on from a TV show. Especially when they're popular. What do the writers do? Try to cope without? Bring in a replacement? Sometimes they work, but mostly they don't. I've chosen 15 from a mix of drama, sci-fi, comedy; old and new; good and bad - but which one was the worst?
Re: Worst replacement for a main character on TV?My vote went for T-1000 in X-Files... Funny how I knew that there'd be Jon Lovitz btw, I just saw 5x01 of NewsRadio today... sad episode. ...where did I put that rat's ass I could give?
Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves.

Re: Worst replacement for a main character on TV?Didn't know quite a few of them so not in a position to pass judgement. Of those I did know two jumped out at me so I chose Ben Browder replacing RDA. My second choice was Patrick for Duchovny. "To be born English is to win the lottery of life." Cecil Rhodes 1853-1902

Re: Worst replacement for a main character on TV?I can't believe people chose Ben Browder for Richard Dean Anderson , He was ok , definitely not the worst choice , I chose Robert Patrick for David Duchovny , David was a much more important piece in X Files to be replaced.

Re: Worst replacement for a main character on TV?It's interesting though that most votes (even mine for "Richard Mylan for Richard Coyle (Coupling)") are based on the genius of the previous actor, not necessarily the lameness of the replacement. Take "Ben Browder for Richard Dean Anderson" - Ben Browder is a fantastic actor, was brilliant in Farscape and I thought he was really good in SG-1 (especially when Claudia Black guest starred and we had the same great on-screen chemistry), but there's just no way he could reach RDA level of awesomeness. RDA was the heart and soul of the show and made it worth watching. Ben Browder just couldn't do that. Just like nobody could rival the brilliance of Richard Coyle's Jeff. As much as I enjoyed Oliver Morris, he just wasn't a Jeff. Others are more interesting. For example Spin City: I love that show and I think Charlie Sheen did a marvelous job, but right around the time he replaced Michael J. Fox the show kind-of jumped the shark and together with him changing the way the office worked and felt it was just too much. Duchovny and X-Files is a very similar story, only it combines jumping the shark some seasons prior with him being the heart of the show. "We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go."

Re: Worst replacement for a main character on TV?Ben Browder by far. I mean I liked his acting in Farscape but RDH is irreplaceable. 2nd place goes to CSI - this show is a trainwreck for some time now. Re: Worst replacement for a main character on TV?xrnzaaas wrote:

Re: Worst replacement for a main character on TV?Was this poll started with the news that Lauren Graham will now be joining Parenthood and not Helen Hunt to replace Maura Tierney in a lead role?

I was never a fan of X-files, but I think the idea of trying to replace Duchovny is silly. Posts: 16Forums - Next Episode → -- Polls → Worst replacement for a main character on TV? |
