== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The titular character of ''[[Monk]]'' went through almost the entire show without much of a change, despite a dizzying array of both traumatic and hopeful events. It was only at the end that he overcame many of his difficulties.
* From his first episode to his last, [[M*A*S*H (television)|Major Frank Burns]] was a whiny, self-absorbed, power-mongering hypocrite who could barely perform surgery.
* ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''. Ensign Harry Kim starts off as [[Ensign Newbie]] and '''seven years''' later is still portrayed the same way, despite being one of the main characters and thus subject to all the traumatic events that befall a [[Star Trek]] character (including dying enough times it became a fan joke).
* Joey from ''[[Friends]]'' is a prime example of this. When he was one out of six characters in an ensemble, and had little (to no) development, he was great. And when he received a [[Spin-Off]], ''[[Joey]]'', it didn't work at all.
