AMC did the same thing with the later seasons of Mad Men to keep the budget down. I believe Jon Hamm was the only actor who appeared in every episode of Mad Men. Every season, there was one or two episodes that Christina Hendricks didn't appear in. To make up for that, there would also be one or two episodes that had a prominent storyline for Joan.

Well this must have been a cheap episode. All the "B" cast.
