Stars who gained or lost weight during a show's run? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In the loss department, there's....

Nicholas Colasanto - Coach on Cheers. The poor man was so ill during the end and looked gaunt.

Patricia Heaton - Debra on Everybody Loves Raymond. When you watch earlier seasons, she's heavier. Not fat at all, but she got thinner as time went on.

In the gained department, there's...

Delta Burke on Designing Women. She caught a lot of heat for her weight gain.

Kirstie Alley on Cheers gained some weight on Cheers, but not too much. In the beginning, she's dressed in tight fitting clothes. The last couple of seasons, she's always in a blazer or loose clothing.

it could be because he is older, but Anson Williams looks a little more chunky by the last season on Happy Days.

Brian Damage · 04-22-2006, 10:21 AM

Jason Alexander on Seinfeld gained a few pounds.

Sara Rue on Less than Perfect lost a lot of weight. It is a shame because she looked a lot better with a few extra pounds on her.

Re-run from What's happening lost weight. His weight was up and down during the shows run. Sadly though he stayed overweight.

While we're on the subject of Friends, Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox both lost weight.

Calista Flockhart from Ally McBeal lost too much weight.

If my Memory is Correct I belive Patricica Heaton was Pregnant during the Early Year's of Everybody Loves Raymond

Holly Marie Combs on Charmed has gained some weight, most of it because she had a baby at the end of season 6 in real life. She looked heavier for most of season 7 but now during season 8 she looks slimmer

Actually, before Fred "Rerun" Berry died in 2003, he actually did drop a ton of weight, b/c he was on Weakest Link and I Love the 70s and looked a lot thiiner than used to be.

The most obviously example, Roseanne. She was big in the first few seasons and then slowly lost weight. She looks pretty good by the last season.

John Goodman was also biggish in the beginning, then lost some weight going into the 5th season, but then ballooned again by the end. It's really sad to see him now because he's gained so much weight... he was on Ellen a month ago or so. Unless he takes some serious measures to lose some pounds, I fear he doesn't have much time left.

Gained:

Will Friedle on Boy Meets World
Danielle Fishel-she wasn't fat, she just got voluptuous

Adamantium · 04-22-2006, 06:48 PM

Dave Foley (NewsRadio) - He's small and thin for the first three seasons. But around the end of season four and all of season five, he put on the pounds. I wouldn't consider him "A Fat Man" but there it is definitly noticeable.

Freddie Prinze (Chico and the Man) - Unfortunatly, his weight loss was due to drugs.

Josh Peck (Drake & Josh) - Hey, my sister likes this show. But his weight loss is very noticable.

Screech (SBTB: The New Class) - He put on a few pounds as the show went on.
