TV Characters Who Were Recast Mid-Series

Turns out the The Starter Wife had a starter ex. When the show returns to USA as a full-fledged TV series, Molly Kagan (Debra Messing) will have a new ex-husband to despise: Peter Jacobson, who played Kenny Kagan in last Summer's miniseries, is now working full-time on House, so his role has been recast, with David Alan Basche taking over as the new Kenny. That got me thinking about other shows that have recast characters mid-series. Want to see the old and new versions of some favorites? Just hit "Start."

This slideshow is really funny. Though it wasn't a character being recast, the situation on "Valerie" was also pretty humorous, since the show had to be retitled "Valerie's Family" and then "The Hogan Family" when the woman playing Valerie left.

Thank God. He was the main reason I couldn't get into this show. I thought he didn't fit the part and I kept wondering if he was supposed to be gay!?

Haha I didn't even notice for several years that Cory's sister Morgan was recast on Boy Meets World.
