* As of the start of season 20, only one of the original six cast members of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' is still on the show, and he would be more accurately described being a recurring guest star who appears in the opening credits whether he appears in that episode or not due to inertia. The original cast was Creator/MarkHarmon (Gibbs), Creator/MichaelWeatherly ([=DiNozzo=]), Creator/SashaAlexander (Kate Todd), Creator/DavidMcCallum (Ducky), Creator/PauleyPerrette (Abby), and Creator/AlanDale (Director Morrow). At the beginning of season 2, Creator/SeanMurray ([=McGee=]) was promoted from repeat guest star to the main cast and Creator/BrianDietzen (Palmer) was added as a secondary cast member (eventually getting promoted to main cast status). At the end of season 2, Alexander's character was killed off and Dale's character was written out (occasionally returning as a guest star), and they were replaced by Creator/CoteDePablo (Ziva David) and Creator/LaurenHolly (Director Shepherd). Holly's character was killed off at the end of season 5 and was replaced by Creator/RockyCarroll (Director Vance). This cast held steady until the beginning of season 11 when de Pablo left the show, being replaced by Creator/EmilyWickersham (Ellie Bishop). Then Weatherly left the show at the end of season 13, being replaced by Creator/JenniferEsposito (Alex Quinn) and Creator/WilmerValderrama (Nick Torres); later that season, Creator/DuaneHenry (Clayton Reeves) was promoted to the main cast. Esposito's character only lasted one season, being replaced at the start of season 15 by Creator/MariaBello (Jacqueline "Jack" Sloane), and Perrette and Henry left at the end of that season, with Perrette being replaced by Creator/DionaReasonover (Kasie Hines). Bello and Wickersham left at different points in season 18, with Wikersham being replaced by Katrina Law (Jessica Knight). Harmon left in season 19, replaced by Creator/GaryCole (Alden Parker). And that's not counting the turnover in important recurring characters who have not appeared in the opening credits (Joe Spano's Tobias Fornell has literally been around since episode 1, but a lot of other characters have disappeared or been killed off over the years). Ducky, the last member of the original cast, spent much of season 15 and at least part of season 16 on sabbatical teaching and writing his memoirs, followed by retiring from his original position to take a part-time job that didn't require him to appear in every episode, though David [=McCallum=] remained a credited cast member until his death in September 2023 before the start of season 21, with his character officially dying at the start of the second episode.

* Australian prime time soap ''Series/HomeAndAway'' is notable that while the cast has almost completely changed since the start, it still has one character, Alf Stewart, who was in the debut episode as part of the main cast. And while note in the series from the beginning, Irene Roberts has been in the series since 1991 with only a single early case of TheOtherDarrin and several characters from early in the series have left and returned multiple times.
* While the professional partners on the American edition of ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'' will come and go as they see fit and there's a sizeable stable to choose from, it's noticeable that as of Season 31 only 3 of the sixteen pros have been on the show since before its twelfth season.

By the time the Penguins won again in 2016-17, just Lemieux remained to get his name two more times, and the roster had only 5 reminders of 2009 (Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Chris Kunitz, Kris Letang - who missed the ice in 2017 due to injury - and the only one that didn't get ice time in the second series, goalie Marc-André Fleury - who afterwards would be picked in the expansion draft, and would make the Stanley Cup Final in the Vegas Golden Knights' very first season, losing there).

Furthermore, only Jeter and Rivera had been Yankees continuously for that stretch; Pettitte left the Yankees for three years from 2004 to 2006, playing for the Houston Astros.

*** Pac-12 Conference: The conference's current charter dates only to 1959, but it claims the history of the Pacific Coast Conference, founded in 1915, as its own.

Two other PCC members, Idaho (1922–1959) and Montana (1928–1950), were not invited to join the Athletic Association of Western Universities (later the Pac-8, Pac-10, and Pac-12).

That, of course, was before UCLA and USC announced in 2022 they were off to the Big Ten in 2024.

* Theatre/ThePrinceOfTennis has had many, many cast changes over its several dozen shows spanning almost two decades. It's more sweet than bitter since so many of the former cast members have gone on to become very famous, particularly as voice actors.
* Theatre/{{Tsukipro}}, with 30+ stage plays in 5 series, has reached this level. 7 of the original 8 members of the ''Theatre/{{SQS}}'' cast stayed together for 9 plays, if you count their guest appearance in ''Theatre/TsukinoEmpire: Unleash Your Mind'', and Sho Higano (Shiki) only left before episode 8 because of a severe injury. Alivestage, on the other hand, has had a different Ryota in each of its 3 3-episode seasons. Arata, You, and Hina have also all had actors who left after three or fewer plays. As of the end of 2022, Haru, Arata, Iku, and Ryota have all been played by three different actors. On the other hand, Yuusaku Sato has played Rui in nineteen different plays over eight years. Like Tenimyu, lots of former cast members have gone on to become famous -- the first Arata, Creator/TaikiYamazaki, starred in [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger a TV series]] and the original cast of [[Theatre/CesareIlCreatoreCheHaDistrutto a musical]]. The second Iku, Ryoki Miyama, became famous as a member of Music/BeFirst.

* Theatre/{{Tsukipro}}, ''Theatre/{{Tsukipro}}'', with 30+ stage plays in 5 series, has reached this level. 7 of the original 8 members of the ''Theatre/{{SQS}}'' cast stayed together for 9 plays, if you count their guest appearance in ''Theatre/TsukinoEmpire: Unleash Your Mind'', and Sho Higano (Shiki) only left before episode 8 because of a severe injury. Alivestage, on the other hand, has had a different Ryota in each of its 3 3-episode seasons. Arata, You, and Hina have also all had actors who left after three or fewer plays. As of the end of 2022, Haru, Arata, Iku, and Ryota have all been played by three different actors. On the other hand, Yuusaku Sato has played Rui in nineteen different plays over eight years. Like Tenimyu, lots of former cast members have gone on to become famous -- the first Arata, Creator/TaikiYamazaki, starred in [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger a TV series]] and the original cast of [[Theatre/CesareIlCreatoreCheHaDistrutto a musical]]. The second Iku, Ryoki Miyama, became famous as a member of Music/BeFirst.

*** Sun Belt Conference: Started as a non-football league in 1976 with six members, with two more joining in 1979. Of those schools, the only ones remaining in the league today are Georgia State and South Alabama—and Georgia State had left in 1981 before returning in 2013. After several years of lesser churn, all but three of the members left for other conferences in 1991, and the Sun Belt merged with the American South Conference, with Arkansas–Little Rock (now athletically known as Little Rock) also joining. Although the ASC was the larger league, the merged league kept the Sun Belt name. Of the 1991 entries, only Arkansas State and Louisiana remain, though Little Rock did stay around until 2022. Five more schools joined between 1998 and 2000, and the SBC started a football league in 2001 with five full members and two football-only members. The only arrival in ''that'' time frame remaining in the SBC is Louisiana–Monroe (aka ULM), which became a full member in 2005. The SBC added two new members in the mid-2000s realignment, four more in the early-2010s realignment (three all-sports, one non-football), Coastal Carolina in 2016 (football in 2017), and most recently FCS upgrader James Madison and three C-USA members in 2022.

By that time, the only remaining charter members were Southern Miss and UAB, with only Southern Miss having played in CUSA's first football season. Then in 2021, CUSA was the target of massive raids from The American and the Sun Belt, losing ''nine'' of its 14 members (including the aforementioned USM and UAB) to those leagues, with some moves taking place in 2022 and others in 2023.

* As of the start of season 20, only one of the original six cast members of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' is still on the show, and he would be more accurately described being a recurring guest star who appears in the opening credits whether he appears in that episode or not due to inertia. The original cast was Creator/MarkHarmon (Gibbs), Creator/MichaelWeatherly ([=DiNozzo=]), Creator/SashaAlexander (Kate Todd), Creator/DavidMcCallum (Ducky), Creator/PauleyPerrette (Abby), and Creator/AlanDale (Director Morrow). At the beginning of season 2, Creator/SeanMurray ([=McGee=]) was promoted from repeat guest star to the main cast and Creator/BrianDietzen (Palmer) was added as a secondary cast member (eventually getting promoted to main cast status). At the end of season 2, Alexander's character was killed off and Dale's character was written out (occasionally returning as a guest star), and they were replaced by Creator/CoteDePablo (Ziva David) and Creator/LaurenHolly (Director Shepherd). Holly's character was killed off at the end of season 5 and was replaced by Creator/RockyCarroll (Director Vance). This cast held steady until the beginning of season 11 when de Pablo left the show, being replaced by Creator/EmilyWickersham (Ellie Bishop). Then Weatherly left the show at the end of season 13, being replaced by Creator/JenniferEsposito (Alex Quinn) and Creator/WilmerValderrama (Nick Torres); later that season, Creator/DuaneHenry (Clayton Reeves) was promoted to the main cast. Esposito's character only lasted one season, being replaced at the start of season 15 by Creator/MariaBello (Jacqueline "Jack" Sloane), and Perrette and Henry left at the end of that season, with Perrette being replaced by Creator/DionaReasonover (Kasie Hines). Bello and Wickersham left at different points in season 18, with Wikersham being replaced by Katrina Law (Jessica Knight). Harmon left in season 19, replaced by Creator/GaryCole (Alden Parker). And that's not counting the turnover in important recurring characters who have not appeared in the opening credits (Joe Spano's Tobias Fornell has literally been around since episode 1, but a lot of other characters have disappeared or been killed off over the years). Given that Ducky, the last member of the original cast, spent much of season 15 and at least part of season 16 on sabbatical teaching and writing his memoirs, followed by retiring from his original position to take a part-time job that doesn't require him to appear in every episode, it's quite possible that David [=McCallum=] is transitioning towards retirement (his first big role was [[Series/TheManFromUncle in the 60s]], after all), though as of season 20 he's still officially on the cast, with his place in the cast only ending with his death in September 2023 before the start of season 21.

The third best stretch was in the 1990s-2000s, when they won four titles in five years (1996 and 1998-2000) with Joe Torre as manager, plus one more in 2009. Only starting pitcher Andy Pettitte, shortstop Derek Jeter, and closer Mariano Rivera were a part of all five teams, with a number of others being part of four out of five--including two other members of the 2009 team, as Joe Girardi, the starting catcher on the 1996 team and backup catcher in 1998 and 1999, returned as manager for the 2009 team while Jorge Posada, who replaced Girardi as the primary catcher in 1998 after backing him up as a rookie in 1997, was still the starting catcher in 2009. Furthermore, only Jeter and Rivera had been Yankees continuously for that stretch; Pettitte left the Yankees for three years from 2004 to 2006, playing for the Houston Astros.
