Shows that Started in Single Camera, but Changed... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Name shows that went from Single Camera/No Audience to Three Cameras/Yes Audience.

I can only think of two. But I'd imagine there were more.

1. The Odd Couple (The first season was single camera, but seasons two thru five were three-camera and in front of an audience.)

2. Happy Days (The first two seasons were single camera and seasons three thru eleven were three-camera and in front of an audience. That excludes an episode from season two, which was the last one shot of the second season, but not the last one aired, which was a three-camera episode.)

Were there others? And what did you think about the two shows I listed? Did you like them better with single camera or three-cameras?

Those are the only two I can think of.

Both shows were Garry Marshall shows, and both shows switched formats.. Coincidence?
