It is never easy when a beloved character leaves a successful sitcom.
Since sitcoms are character-driven rather than plot-focused, they tend to rely heavily on specific cast members.
However,That 70s Showwasnt without its casting problems.
However, Harrison was offered a lead role inThe Loop, resulting in his characters unceremonious death.
Randy was a laid-back, suave, and ambitious character who didnt share Erics insecurities or vulnerabilities.
Shockingly,That 70s Showkilled off Charliewhen the character fell off the water tower off-screen.
Randy lasted a lot longer than Charlie, appearing in over 20 episodes.
Eric had a believable level of internal contradictions, whereas Charlie was too one-note.
Randy was too popular, well-liked, and cool to work as a comedic hero.
Meanwhile, Randy had the opposite problem.
He was skilled with tools, charismatic, romantically well-adjusted, and kind to boot.
Instead of his flaws making him feel relatable, Randys many positive attributes rendered him deathly dull.
Unlike Eric, no one could see themselves in this paragon of 70s teenhood.
Similarly, Randy did get one minor appearance in the finale since he was season 8s ostensible protagonist.
