Question of the Day - What do you think about replacing actors on a show?

Welcome to another week of Question of the Day and I hope you all had great weekends. Today's question comes from Urinal Turd, who asks.

"What do you think about replacing actors on a show?"

"Right now there are a lot of rumours going around that Charlie Sheen could be replaced by John Stamos on Two And A Half Men. Last year Starz recast the lead role for Spartacus due to Andy Whitfield's cancer. What are your thoughts on this topic?"

Personally as a rule, I hate it when it happens on a TV show. I tend to relate to both a Character as well as the actor and I can't think of any examples where I've liked it.

The only example that seems to work is that of the film franchise, James Bond where we regularly get a new James Bond every 3-4 years and I find it does not diminish my enjoyment.

So what about you? Do you like it when a character is re-cast? What examples can you think of where a re-cast has happened and you've either a) Enjoyed it or b) Hated it?
