Did you know Sasha Mitchell (who played Cody on Step By Step) was accused of beating his wife? I don't have the statistics handy, but I think a lot of people are aware of this fact.
For years, it was kinda an upspoken agreement among everyone that Cody from Step By Step maybe hitting a woman using Tai Kwan Do was hilarious. Oh, also, I'm assuming everone knows that Cody from Step By Step is a world champion kick boxer. Again, I don't have the numbers.
Well you know what? According to Wikipedia:
After the scandal of domestic violence charges being filed by Mitchell's wife, the Disney company decided to write him out of the script, and was only asked back for one episode on the last season of Step by Step. He later stated in court that his domestic violence charges resulted from attempts at protecting his children from their mother, whom he accused of being a drug user. He was able to obtain full custody of their four children, and their mother only receives limited, supervised visitation.
Not so awesome now that we rushed to judge, is it? Possibly, you know how the system works.
Wikipedia adds:
In an attempt to keep the comic relief of Cody around after Sasha Mitchell left the show, writers added three characters: Rich Halke (Dana's boyfriend and J.T.'s best friend, introduced in 1995), Jean-Luc (played by Bronson Pinchot, Carol's hairsylist partner whose role should remind people slightly of his role in the movie Beverly Hills Cop; he was a fixture in the 1996-97 season)
Try to imagine how it feels to be replaced by Belki.
