Okay, this is the question for "Men Behaving Badly" fans. Which roommate of Jamie's (played by Rob Schneider) do you prefer? The original, Kevin who dated Sarah (played by Justine Bateman) or Steve who dated Katie (played by Jenica Bergere).

After watching a few episodes from each season, I think I actually like Steve better. Though Kevin had his moments, too.

Kevin.

I loved Ken Marino when he was on The State but there's something to be said for a series' original characters.

definately the original, Kevin.

I really enjoyed the first season; the second season I kinda lost interest (apparantly some other viewers did too, since it was cancelled--although the time slot change to Sundays probably didn't help either.)

Can anybody verify or confirm the exact reasons (https://www.nydailynews.com/1997/06/18/men-recasts-over-rift-on-behavior-2-stars-to-leave-because-show-cleaned-up-its-act/) towards why (https://variety.com/1997/tv/news/men-undergoing-major-cast-revamp-1116679367/) Ron Eldard and Justine Bateman (https://x.com/pomattovich/status/1897043193671376901) left the series (https://www.deseret.com/1997/6/20/19318921/eldard-bateman-bail-out-of-men-behaving-badly/) after the first season?

I recently read that it was because they were costing the network money. NBC spent lot of money for acquisition rights and wanted it to be the next Friends. But Eldard and Bateman (https://www.quora.com/What-happened-to-Justine-Bateman) allegedly, protested the scripts and did a taping night reciting their lines in a monotone, leading to their firing (https://filmboards.com/t/Men-Behaving-Badly/Why-the-show-ended-%28if-I-remember-correctly%29-1331434/) and recasting.
