Brian Forster replaced the chronically misbehaving Jeremy Gelbwaks as what character on The Partridge Family?

Because they didn't know ahead of time he was a "chronically misbehaving child" until he was hired and began the first season. After they realized it, the family mentioned to the director (producer) or both that his father had received a joboffer elsewhere in the country and they were considering moving the family away so the father could get the better job. They were encouraged to do so, and the family chose to do so, despite then not wanting to leave the show "high and dry" so to speak, without an actor to play Chris. Actually, EVERYONE was fed up and wanted him out. BTW, Jeremy did not play drums in "real" life and it was obvious that he did not when the cast were performing that he was not even on the beat/ hitting the correct drum, etc., when they chose the second Chris, they at least chose a kid who had some experience playing the drums, so that even though they did not actually play the instruments when "performing" at least he could look like he knew how to stay on the beat/ pretend to hit the correct drum, etc.

How many characters from 50s-80s TV shows can you name that were replaced by other actors during the series and what were the reasons they were replaced?
1) The character of Darin Stevens on Bewitched was played by Dick York but a few seasons later was replaced by Dick Sargeant without explanation. Dick York had back problems and could no longer work full-time, so another Dick was eventually found as a replacement. 2) Chris Partridge on the Partridge Family (1970) was originally played by precocious Jeremy Gelbwaks in the first season, but his pranks on the other actors made him too difficult to deal with. After taping the first season, his father took a job in Washington DC which made it easier for the producers to replace him, with Brian Forster in time for the second season. 3) Dark Shadows (1966-1971) had a number of characters played by more than one actor for various reasons.
