  • These shows just weren't the same after these actors left

    From fly-on-the-wall mockumentaries to intense procedural dramas, practically every kind of TV Show has a story about a cast member leaving. Television formats are inherently difficult to shoot for given their rapid production timelines and hectic schedules. Unlike movies, TV Shows are expected to tirelessly deliver quality content that's at par (or even more than) the production value of a feature film. TV Actors live under tremendous stress and are often forced to take a new look at their contracts before signing on to further seasons. And when that doesn't form the premise of a TV Show actor leaving their titular roles, the prospect of more deep and enriching careers does. Television brings a lot of talent out of obscurity and several actors like Dan Stevens, Chad Murray, Hilarie Burton and Topher Grace have made the choice of leaving their television personas behind in search of better opportunities. Whether it's in pursuit of a movie career or a more meaty role on another series, this video looks at a diverse list of actors who either quit their iconic shows or were forced to leave. And in most cases- even the ones in which TV shows were able to pick it up after suffering a blow to their ratings- the original charm and integrity of the storyline was compromised with these actors' departures.

      I am watching Cominuty on Netflix and while they were a very important part of the show, the removal of the creator of the show is the bigger problem with it then the departures of these characters. Their replacements did try to do something, but even the opening with the obviously missing names just makes me think that the opening song was eventually a description of seasons 5 and 6.
      Sometimes I am glad a show dies on a high and is not left to rot for a final season of disappointment.

    I know plenty of channels with a fraction of this one's subs that can pull 10 times those views in less than an hour.
    but yet when a pitch meeting is uploaded, these numbers seem to skyrocket up to the hundred thousands, the most recent pitch meeting being at 466k right now.
