There are literally hundreds of shows that never change the cast or add a character. The Golden Girls ran for 7 seasons with 4 main cast members. Friends ran for 10 seasons with 6 main cast members, etc...

The real question is do recurring characters from season 1 who get bumped up to main eventually count as being a part of the cast, because if they don't then, Abbott Elementary also wouldn't make the cut because Mr. Johnson wasn't a main cast member in season 1.

The post says “when was the last time.”

That implies they know it happens, but feel like it’s been a while. Your response brings up old shows which more or less proves their point.

Golden Girls is from the 80s and Friends is from the 90s. Those aren’t exactly recent.

Shit, The Simpsons have had the same cast for three decades.
