"NCIS" clearly lost its fastball when Special Agent Gibbs' (Mark Harmon) character left the show.

It was MASH after Frank Burns left. Trapper was much better than BJ but the way Potter would rip on Frank was great.

The Office rebounded a bit in its final season. So while not as good post carrell, still good.

That 70s show became unwatchable when they tried inserting seth Meyers even shittier brother as the new lead

The Witcher. Admittedly, the showrunner had already ruined it before Cavil left, but now the show is just an afterthought.

When Reno 911 cut most of their regulars.

Spartacus was never quite the same after the main actor passed away.

MASH was one of tGOAT sitcoms its 1st 3 yrs, and went downhill rapidly afterward. BJ and Potter were no Trapper & Henry

But...

IMHO Winchester was a more interesting character than Frank. He was the one good change the show made.

Frank could be very funny, but he was pretty much Hawkeye's punching bag, Winchester could give as good as he got, and was a better foil for Hawkeye
