didn't see that whole post.

My bad

The X-Files after both Mulder and Scully bolted.

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

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

TWD when Rick left

X-Files

I hate to say 8 Simple Rules, but man, it wasn’t close to the same show after Ritter died.

This was the first one to come to mind for me as well
