Replacements who you liked better than the original....Or were as good as the originals.

I liked Woody better than Coach on Cheers

I liked Steve alot on Married With Children but still like Jefferson almost as much (not quite.)

I liked Paige and Audrey on "Ellen" better than her old friends.

Pat Priest was as good or better than the original Marilyn (Beverly Owen) on The Munsters.

Steve and Jefforson on Married with Children are a tough call. Both were very funny in their own ways. i did however like BJ better than Trapper John on Mash, Woody better than Coach on Cheers, The Powells were were about 100 times better than the Pembrokes on Charles in Charge and Jo on the Facts of Life was much better than the 4 girls canned from the first season(Cindy, Molly, Nancy and Sue-Ann)

Is this about just older sitcoms or current ones too?

Classic sitcoms-can't think of any

Current sitcoms- I'm totally in the minority but I personally like Chris better than Reggie on Becker.
