Everybody knows about TVs lost characters, people who are lazily removed from TV shows without so much as a mention. The most popular character for most would be Chuck Cunningham from Happy Days, who was predominant in the first season then never mentioned or seen again. My guess is he did something really horrible and the Cunninghams disowned him, maybe he got into reefer or something.
Chuck is not alone in sitcom Limbo, here are a few more characters that were simply removed without notice:
That 70s Show: In an early episode, the gang is being driven crazy by Donna's bratty little sister, she is never heard from again. What the hell did they do to her?
M*A*S*H: Ugly John and Spearchucker Jones got the bum's rush after the first season, it's the army, they could have been transferred or sent home but we didn't get an explaination.
My Three Sons: Mike Douglas, the eldest boy of the guy who looks like Shazam just pfffft! disappeared in 1965, maybe he's with Adam Cartwright...
30 Rock: (edited) When I wrote this on Monday morning, the character of Josh hadn't been seen at all this year nor was he mentioned, he was once central to the plot of the series, so I assumed he had been written out. Last night, he mysteriously appeared again like he had been there all the time. He wasn't given much to do however....
