Current sitcom in which regulars aren't in every episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It seems that unless an actress is pregnant or an actor has a health problem the actors who are billed in the main credits of current sitcoms appear in every episode. Are there any exceptions to this? Olders shows I can think of where this was not true are:

Bewitched- there are many episodes all throughout that series in which Agnes Moorehead doesn't appear

Jeffersons- Any of the supporting players: Marla Gibbs etc could go missing in an episode, in fact episodes with the entire cast are rare

Cosby Show- in the last 2 years particularly there are very few episodes featuring all the players who appear in the main titles

The only show I can think of is King of Queens where the supporting players like Victor Williams are only credited in the specific episodes in which they appear. Jerry Stiller isn't even in every episode.
