[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 305979, member: 26097"] The Bob Newhart Show also featured the late Marcia Wallace, later to appear on The Simpsons. (After her death, Gracie Films retired her character, similar to what they did with Doris Grau and Phil Hartman's characters. They could've done the same with Russi Taylor's, but guess they are too integral to Bart and Lisa, hence the recast there with Grey DeLisle). You can hear elements of Edna Krabappel in her Carol Kester voice. Even if DW had been renewed, Annie Potts was reportedly going to leave anyway - she had a falling out with the Thomasons over the incorporation of her real life pregnancy into the show. They certainly couldn't risk another original cast member leaving after the Delta Burke drama and Jean Smart quitting. [/QUOTE]
