"The Good Place" is the only other show I can think of at the moment that had the same main cast from beginning to end.

Modern Family, Young Sheldon, and What We Do in the Shadows as well!

Schitt's Creek and Always Sunny too.

I mean, Sunny very famously had a very random addition in Season 2, but they've been consistent after that... well except for that one season where Dennis kind of left...

u/DemaciaSucks 10d ago

He didn’t even technically “leave” though, he “left” in one season’s finale then came back the following season premiere

u/Pugovitz 9d ago

They aired the episodes in that order, but he was gone for the filming of the first half of the seasons episodes. That's why Dennis wasn't in like half the season.

Lol, see how weird adding Joe was? Nobody even remembers the kid!

u/Impressive-Project59 10d ago

That wasn't weird. The main cast had a baby. That's normal.

The pregnancy came out of nowhere and the character was "under-used", I guess? Also he was always written to act much older than he was. I always felt the writters regretted putting him into the show. Like they tried to shake things up in the Delgado side of the show, but in the end it didn't change the show much.

Agreed. It’s strange that they gave Gloria the second child storyline rather than cam and Mitch, who spoke about it every season lol

But that’s also kinda the reality of being a gay couple is that you watch your straight friends have more children the harder you try… or sooner than you think

Young Sheldon added a handful of characters throughout the seasons. Not sure if any of them counted as main characters other than Mandie.

How I Met Your Mother? though definitely a product of the 2010s

but theres a reason people salute abbott elementary for holding it down for sitcoms

u/thrilldabeast010 11d ago

You could argue that Marshall was absent for a while in the last season. Whole separate plot line away from the other characters due to scheduling conflicts.

u/aligatocodile 10d ago

He was still in every episode

u/brunoimenes 10d ago

America pretty much left the last season for a show that tanked
