Going back to Space: 1999, one of my biggest gripes, aside from dropping Barry Morse from the cast, was the opening credits music change. Heck, for a lot of episodes first season, the opening credits was the best part!
On Highlander, killing off Richie was for me the low point of the show. The series had been going steadily downhill from the fourth season on, and Stan Kirsch's death pretty much finished it for me.
One last point: odd how no one's mentioned Scrappy-Do. |

Thanks a lot, I had managed to successfully block all memories of that annoying little cur from my mind.
Let he-who-shall-not-be-named be relegated to the Scrappy heap of history.

A sci-fi friend reading this thread told me that the same thing happened with Isaac Asimov, no less, and his FOUNDATION meta-series. He kept pulling back curtains - aha readers, you see, THIS is what's really happening - until nobody cared.
The problem with Isaac Asimov was that he had a number of great stand alone sequences (The Robot sequence, Foundation etc.) which he decided to tie together in one great narrative. Which unfortunately meant a development in the Foundation sequence which basically meant most of the action of the novels became instantly irrelevant.
