1: The show wouldn't have lasted if they kept everyone from the first season. They wouldn't be able to afford paying all of those cast members for 9 years.
2: They could have kept Nancy, but the other girls couldn't have stayed. They weren't that interesting.
3: As I said, the other first season girls weren't interesting enough to keep them in the series.
4: Jo would have fit into the first season, but that means that Mrs. G would be left to watch 8 teenage girls??? Too much!
5: Even though Beverly Ann wasn't very good, Mrs. G couldn't have stayed on for another 3 years. Her character showed signs of aging by the 4th season.
6: Jo and Mr. Bradley doesn't sound like good entertainment. Jo was never good with Mr. Harris or Mr. Parker either.
7: I think that that characters and actress matched up perfectly.
8: If we had kept Nancy, Roger would have come out sooner or later. i would have liked to see how he proposed to her, and how he got her pregnant!
9: Mrs. Garret and Pippa sounds something like Batman and Robin if you ask me. They would have been good together.
10: I think that Jo should have sailed off in the late Edna's Edibles years. I would have liked to see her crash in a motorcycle accident or something.
