1. Janet Hubert – The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
One of the most remembered TV replacements is the abrupt transformation of Aunt Viv in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which she could hardly ignore. Janet Hubert interpreted the role more as firm and fierce in the first three seasons. But the softer, more sophisticated Daphne Maxwell Reid took her place after she allegedly had a falling out with Will Smith and experienced personal issues. Decades later, in 2020, Hubert and Smith reconciled during the show's reunion special, finally putting the drama to rest.
