In the 90s cartoon 'The Animals of Farthing Wood', one of the foxes named Friendly who was a mainstay in season 2, only appeared in episode 3 of season 3, never to return for the remainder of the show. Likewise, Kestrel was entirely absent from the 3rd season.
Take my dreams, childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze, please just be there for me

A bit more obscure but in Space: 1999 Victor Bergman (the Dr. McCoy analog and a big enough star to get top billing in the first season) and Paul Marrow (essentially the Sulu analog) disappeared in the 2nd season. In novelizations of the episodes it was suggested that both died, but in the T.V series its like they never existed.
I like the idea of season one of Happy Days being in a alternate universe where Chuck Cunningham existed, Fonzie wore white T-shirts and grey jackets and Chachi never existed

The terminology wasn't around at the time, but they definitely rebooted the show - especially with filming it in front of an audience.

Dr. McNamara and Julia's third child on Nip/Tuck. His birth was a big deal during the show, there were major storyline about it, even a flash forward ep showing him as an adult. Then just...gone.

Not quite the same thing, but it seems clear from the early episodes that "Transformers" originally was considering Hound (The military jeep) to be the star 'sidekick' robot and main liason with the human characters, but eventually Bumblebee kind of stole the spotlight.
Ditto with Ratchet in the comics.chrism227.wordpress.com Info and opinions on a variety of interests.

Cat Grant in Lois & Clark, I don't remember if they ever gave us a reason.

The fact that you prefaced Family Matters with “The old show…” cracks me up. Threads like these are usually about nothing but old shows! Originally Posted by LoganAlpha30X33

I only support the made of clay origin.

I believe the hearsay was “too sexy” for the more tame goals fo the producers. That episode where Morgan Fairchild sprays them all with pheromones and they all get superhorny, Cat’s the only one confirmed to do the deed… but it turns out she was the only major cast member *not* sprayed with the pheromones… and we’d blatantly seen her intentionally damage the copier after the repairman/her trophy of the episode fixed it, so he’d have to “fix it again.” Originally Posted by Ra-El

I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP

Carrie's sister from King Of Queens appeared in the first couple of episodes and that was the end of it.
The 80's Jetsons cartoon introduced their new alien pet Orbity in which he was in half of the series and then suddenly disappeared in the second half.

And Eric's high school friend vanished without a word too. And a lot of one offs in that show too. With a few lucky to make it to 2 episodes. Though Minkus and even Mr. Turner popped up either at the end, or in Girl Meets World. Originally Posted by Riv86672

From The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie Walker (season 1) and Warren Ferguson (season 6). Both gone with no explanation. Although I'm pretty sure no one cared what happened to Ferguson. LOL

Ellie Walker was going to be my example too. Then again, when Barney Fife left and Warren was there it took most of the season before they even explained why Barney was gone. Originally Posted by caj

It's been decades since I've seen it, but I remember the first season being a gentle coming of age comedy. Then it was somewhat replaced by a live action cartoon with moral bits added. A good live action cartoon to begin with, but far less real, and ever less real as the years progressed. I'd be afraid to watch it again, I fear it may not have aged well.
