Not the addition of a character but a complete rewrite of a character on Police Cops. Max Power was such a dashing cool cop for the pilot but soon after they rewrote him to be a fat bumbling oaf....

Wasn't the cool cop named Homer Simpson in the pilot, who then became an idiot laughing stock, causing people also named Homer Simpson to change their name to Max Power, after a hairdryer?

And that's the end of that case.

Also wasn't he originally written as being independently wealthy? I think that aspect was also lost in the character transition.

Yup, from rich ladies man to slob, and he didn't even have the excuse of having kids! He had three money no kids!
