MASH-

Hot Lips went from ambitious bitch-enemy to respected pal.

Hawkeye went from irreverent drunk slacker doc, to prototype early SJW.

Daenerys Targaryen went from an abused, young, innocent girl finding her inner strength to a genocidal, incestual, tyrant with a psycho pavlovian response to bells.

That’s offensive to homeless street urchins. He’s a couple steps lower than that by now.

Scoob- I was going to post about Hot Lips but you beat me to it. She went from Hawkeye’s foil to a feminist ally after a couple seasons. Still one of my favorite tv series, though.

Any character on a successful show that lasts for 5+ seasons honesty. Everyone eventually becomes caricatures of themselves.

I’ll throw out Steve Urkel and Stefan Urkell.

Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender has one of best character arcs I've seen

Went from banished prince trying to please his abusive and genocidal father to aiding Aang and crew in disposing of his father.

Azula also has an insane mental breakdown at the end of the final season

Jake on Two and half men. Lovable awkward kid to a walking box of rocks.

No mention of Eric in Boy Meets World? Went from cool, suave older brother to half functioning idiot midway through the show. Not to mention Topanga went from super weirdo to normal hot girl a couple seasons in, at which point they pretended like she and Corey had been dating since they were 2.

Still love that show though

I’m not sure if Quagmire or Joe changed much. Lois and Meg stayed mostly the same. Peter got more outlandishly stupid but his intelligence varies greatly depending on the needs of the plot. Stewie definitely changed.

Roscoe P Coltrane.

Much more serious straight arrow law man early on in the series into the bumbling buffoon we all knew and loved.

Kelly Bundy went from scheming teenage brat more concerned about sneaking out to see her older boyfriends to dumb bimbo in one episode of Married With Children.
