On the Golden Girls...the first time Dorothy's son came to visit he was twenty-nine years old, the next time he was twenty-three, then last time he was thirty. His age was mentioned in all three episodes, with no consistency. Furthermore, Dorothy supposedly gotten married as a pregnant teenager (in one episode they said she 19 y/o at the time, in the other she was 17) and was with Stan for 38 years. Who was THAT child? The two the audience met were noticeably younger. Blanche's daughter Becky was introduced as a short, obese when she first appeared...after that she was tall and rail thin. Rose's kids names changed almost every time they were mentioned, and in one episode Rose refereed to So and So Nylund as her adoptive parents, even though "Nylund" was her married name. There were a ton of continuity goofs on that show.
When Mama's Family originally aired on NBC in the early 1980s, Vint (who was initially portrayed as more of a tough guy, then later as more of a goofy creampuff) had two teenage kids. When it later continued in first run syndicated episodes, his two kids totally disappeared and were never mentioned again. Earlier on, Naomi was brassy, sharp tongued and would zing Mama's insults right back. On the syndicated episodes, she was sillier, more playful and would sort of just let out a frustrated sigh at Mama's name calling.
During the first season of Gimme A Break, Nell was jovial and sweet to the kids. After that, she was often tart and crass with them.
On Married With Children, Kelly started out as more of a juvenile delinquent w/a rebellious, bad girl attitude....but had common sense. As the show went on, she devolved into a fluffhead bimbo. During season one, Al and Peg were more serious, and "real." As the show went on, they became cartoons.
When The Simpson's first aired, Bart was the focus....while Homer was the grumpy dad. Later Homer became sillier and sillier, and would be the focus of the show. Now, who knows? I think the last time I watched, the show focused more on the TOWN than the Simpson family.
Daria on Beavis & Butthead wasn't nearly as cynical, wordy and down trodden as she would be on her own show.
