Line 333:
* Kellie replacing Kate on ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'' after Christa Miller left for a recurring role on ''[[Scrubs]]''.
* ''[[NYPD Blue]]'' is the master of this trope, having replaced Andy Sipowicz's partner ''three times''. Jimmy Smits replaced David Caruso when the latter decided he was too big to do the show. Rick Schroeder replaced Smits. Mark-Paul Gosselaar replaced Schroeder. Gosselaar and Schroeder are the best examples here, both having similar physical make-ups and similar character personalities.
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]](2004 TV series)|The 2004 ''Battlestar Galactica'']] replaced Billy Keikeya with Tory Foster. This is actually the only Battlestar example. Given the improvisational nature of the series' writing it's unclear if Billy would have followed a similar arc to Tory, had Paul Campbell remained on the show.
** Well, at the very least, he ''probably'' wouldn't have slept with Anders and Baltar.
** This trope is played straight or averted, as the lack of similarity between the two characters is noted by Roslin and Adama in Tory's very first appearance.
