There are a few television shows that have been named for a star or one particular character, and then they are either fired or they leave the show and the writers/producers try to salvage the show by changing the name.
The reason I started thinking about this is the series Valerie, which starred Valerie Harper and Jason Bateman, popped into my head.
During the second season of the show, Valerie Harper left the show during a salary dispute and they killed her character off and had Sandy Duncan come in.
And I remember that The Dukes of Hazzard became two different characters during a similar salary dispute earlier in that same decade.
My question is, can you think of any other shows where something like that happened (even scenarios where the title actor/actress/character die and they just tried to keep going with a new name), because my curiosity has been piqued. I don't care where in the world it happened either... I am sure there are some excellent examples outside of North America too.
