I resent that. Grandad was pivotal to the dynamic of the show. Luckily they managed to seamlessly insert Uncle Albert into the same spot, and it worked. Note the most recent episodes without the 'older generation family member' role... didn't work.
If they could insert a new character into the JD role, different enough to keep the show fresh, similar enough not to upset the whole balance of the programme, then it can remain relevant.
One misstep in the casting/character development department and the show is fucked.
