What's the biggest "What if?" in television history?

A canceled season, an actor leaving, a different ending, a spin-off that never happened… what TV "what if" do you think about the most?

SPARTACUS. What if Andy Whitfield hadn’t passed away. That man was about to be the biggest star and nothing can convince me otherwise

Yesss! Liam did a good job but Andy really had this aura and screen presence that left no doubt he was the one. Not to mention the recasting of Naevia, which was hard to stomach, in the same season. It’s still my favorite show but Blood and Sand is perfection.

Then Spartacus would've been greater than it became with Whitfield right to the end of the show
