Talk:List of television show casting changes

[edit] SNL
I don't know who decided to add Jimmy Fallon's leaving SNL on the list, but it's a bad idea. SNL's casting changes every year, is already covered in the SNL article, and Jimmy Fallon isn't close to being the most important person to leave the show. Removed it; kept the note about the 1980 changes since it is rare for almost the entire cast of a show (not to mention its producer) to leave.--Bjeversole 07:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] News programs
Should nightly news programs be included? They're not the same character. I mean no one is playing Peter Jennings. I don't think they're the point of this article, and I'm tempted to remove them. Captain Jackson 03:24, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe creating a sub-section for the news shows would be another option. Also, they're currently in the first section, not the "same character, different actor" section, so that doesn't necessarily have to imply that they were playing a character. -- Bovineone 08:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- It will be a long article then. A channel starts in the 1950s, and runs 50 years with a news service that entire time, so its news will have had many personnel changes! Seems like a pretty pointless addition. Format 08:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More "same character, different actor" from JTS
There are a few more instances of "same character, different actor" listed on the Jump The Shark website, if someone has the time to go through them. -- Bovineone 06:03, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] prod, deletion proposal
This article was created by merging multiple other articles and contributed by many users, so there is a lot of interest in such a list. The criteria is not entirely arbitrary, since the inclusion criteria is well-defined and understood. The references for the items included are generally verifiable by visiting the corresponding articles on each show or character that is linked. I agree that the article does generally have a U.S. bias, but that is also a symptom of most pop-culture articles on the en wikipedia; contributions of more such instances from other non-U.S. shows are welcome. It might be useful to split this article into multiple articles by country of show production, if there is a desire to specifically emphasize U.S. bias in a designated place (or just to help manage article size). -- Bovineone 18:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Darrin Syndrome.
The "Same Character, Different Actor" section is also covered on the Darrin Syndrome page. I believe the explanation belongs here, but I think the examples list should be combined onto one page or the other.

Darrin Syndrome merits its own article. Except for Bewitched and Roseanne, both of which relate to the Darrin issue in different ways, the examples belong over here. Doczilla 13:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

- That sounds exactly like the sort of thing I was thinking about.

[edit] Movies
If this is TV Show Casting should films be even mentioned? Possibly a split or renaming "Cast Changes"?

This article is an unmanageable mess. Too many diverse topics have been lumped together in the same list. There are too many different kinds of cast changes for this page to be a useful reference for anyone. Same Character, Different Actor should have its own article (probably under a different title like Recast TV roles), not be lumped in with actor additions, departures, deaths that don't involve recasting of parts.

- Agreed. Plus, so level of importance should probably be considered. A lot of character cast happened on Law & Order, but do we need to list them all?

- Originally, there was a separate page just for "Same Character, Different Actor", but it was merged because there was an excessive amount of entry duplication caused by the misunderstanding of the difference. Combining onto one page at least allows people to easily use Ctrl-F to search and see if something already exists before adding it again. -- Bovineone 17:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

- The "misunderstanding", of course, came about because "Casting Changes" covers both. You can't use a name that means a variety of things can only mean one thing.
- Duggy 1138 08:22, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- And because the word "replace" is frequently misused. Either the character is recast, or a new character is written. I think both topics should stay together, but the article needs cleaning up and clarification. Itsmeiam 06:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Seems someone agreed with me. Duggy 1138 11:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I think we need to create a "Change of character in movie series" page (Probably with a better title) and put the deleted movie details there. Anyone interested? Duggy 1138 01:16, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chuck Cunningham Syndrome
Added a short section on Chuck Cunningham Syndrome, since article was deleted. "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome" can apply to television show casting changes
[edit] DARRIN SYNDROME
I think that the Darrin Syndrome should be splitted in a different article —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.212.8.58 (talk) 21:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC).
