I think the relationship with Shawn and Henry changing was a character growth kind of thing more than a change in direction of the show. Even in the first episode, Henry had a newspaper clipping of Shawn solving his first case. The warm and fuzziness came from the respect they developed for each other.

I think him changing from a womanizer was a change in direction. I think the show would definitely have a different feel to it.

I think his character still had womanizing tendencies up until season 5. I think what affected that more than anything is that Shaun and Julliett started dating seriously irl around seasons 1/2

I could kinda see that in the present-day parts of the show, but Henry seems totally different in the flashbacks too. In the current show, he's the stern but loving and attentive father who's just narrow minded. The pilot made him seem totally overbearing and out of touch. And the present day change literally was totally different from the pilot to the 2nd episode. I could see if the change happened gradually, but he was totally different.

It reminds me of what the network did with Captain Mal on Firefly. He was a much darker character/leader in the pilot but the network made him warm and fuzzy for the show. When they made Serenity he was back to the darker version in the pilot.
