Nine shows that dramatically changed from the first to second seasons


TV Squad has an interesting post on tv shows that dramatically changed from Season 1 to Season 2.
Among the shows on the list are:

Facts of Life -- In the first season of this Diff'rent Strokes spin-off, Mrs. Garrett was housemother to seven girls at Eastland Academy, and most of the action took place in the common room of their dormitory. By the second season only Blair, Natalie and Tootie remained out of the seven and were joined by juvenile delinquent Jo. Because of Jo the girls were removed from their cushy dormitory digs and placed as permanent staff for the school's cafeteria and lounge, which was now under leadership of Mrs. Garrett.

A Different World -- The freshman season of this Cosby Show spin-off focused on Denise Huxtable's (Lisa Bonet) time at Hillman College. Bonet dropped out of the show after the first season due to a pregnancy, and so the second season saw Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert promoted to central players. Other changes were the addition of Cree Summer and Charnele Brown to the cast and the promotion of Sinbad and Darryl M. Bell to the primary cast.
