There are shows like Buffy, which change the opening credits, if an actor isn’t a regular anymore. After that, they are credited as “special guest star” or “special appearance”.

Even in Buffy not every regular cast mentioned in the credits appears in every episode.


Yes I know. Xander is only in 143 of 144 episodes. Other examples for Buffy?

The same happens in Ally McBeal. For instance, Peter MacNicol (John Cage of Cage & Fish), a "staple" of the series, so to speak, is only credited that way in season 5, if I remember correctly.
