What were some sereis that had little or no cast changes?

The only one I can think of was the Nanny. It had no cast changes throughout its entire run (Except for Sylvia, Yetta, and Val becoming regulars instead of recurring).

Less Than Perfect had no changes, except for the addition of Will Sasso in the second season.

M*A*S*H Had no changes after Col. Potter, Maj. Winchester, and BJ Hunnicutt were added to replace McClain Stevenson, Larry Linville, and Wayne Rogers.

Amen, 227, All In The Family, Maude, The Jeffersons, Sanford And Son.

Remember, Roseanne had a very famous and controversial cast change: Becky!

Others that didn't change:

All in the Family
Mary Tyler Moore
Dick Van Dyke
I Love Lucy
Brady Bunch

Most of the successful shows didn't have cast changes!

"All in the Family" had a major cast change. After the eighth season Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers left the show. It lasted one more season without them before becoming "Archie Bunker's Place."

"Mary Tyler Moore" also had a cast change. Rhoda left for her own spin-off, as did Phyllis. And Sue Ann and Georgette were added throughout the seasons.

Gilligan's Island - 98 episodes and the same cast throughout.

Frasier - 11 seasons and the main group stayed.

Everybody Loves Raymond - The core cast, Ray, Debra, Robert, Marie and Frank all stayed for the entire 9 season run.

WKRP in Cincinnati - Four seasons, and the entire cast stayed. They're all still currently playing generic songs on DVD.

I believe that "I Dream of Jeannie" had the same cast for all five seasons. I know all the major roles remained anyways.

Full House, Bob Newhart Show, Dick Van Dyke Show, Family Ties, Punky Brewster and Mr. Belvedere - the core casts remained intact the entire run.

"Cheers" only had 3 cast changes. 2 in the core cast-Rebbeca replaced Diane and Frasier married Lilith-and 1 minor, Kelly.

Oh yea; and Paul.

Not sure but some that I seem to remember not having major changes are:

Kate & Allie
Golden Girls
Wonder Years (did they change the core cast?)
Benson
Mama's Family (Syndicated Years)
King of Queens (Does this one count since they had several recurring roles that came and went?)

Full House did have a lot of characters added to the cast. They had Becky (Lori Loughlin), Kimmy (Andrea Barber), Jesse and rebecca's twins, and Steve.

I forgot about Golden Girls.

The cast list Everybody Loves Raymond NEVER changed until the 9th and final season when Monica Horan (Amy) became a full time cast member. Even though she married Robert in the season 7 finale, she was still - for some reason - credited as a guest star all during season 8! You would think that Monica, being married to the show's head honcho Phil Rosenthal in real life, would've gotten better treatment. haha

But other than that, the cast of ELR for its entire run was: Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Madilyn Sweeten, with Doris Roberts, and Peter Boyle. The twins were always credted in the closing credits as "featuring" whenever they appeared.

ah yes, add GIlligan's Island to that list! Notice, these shows are the ones where you recognize the cast right off the bat.

THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES core cast remained the same throughout its run.

Pearl Bodine was a very important cast member in the first season. Bea Benaderet was then given her own series, Petticoat Junction, as a different character (Kate Bradley).
