Name that TV Show!

I'm looking for the name of a TV show that I heard about but can't remember the name. Details below the fold.
So, this was from a TikTok video that I didn't save, so some of this might be wrong, but here's what I recall:
It was a family-centered sitcom
Maybe from the 2010s?
It lasted four or so seasons despite poor ratings
Things got really weird towards the end, like they replaced the actor playing a sister(?) role a few times, and that became a part of the plot
There was a character that complained about being trapped in the show, which was also part of the plot
So, my sense here is of a conventional sitcom that got weirded and weirder as the series progressed for whatever reason, and I want to go along for the ride.
I appreciate your ideas!

Both of those things happened on Roseanne (Becky was replaced, and there was a very meta trial episode that kind of broke the 4th wall) ... but Roseanne is more from the late 1980s - early 1990s.

Best answer: Sounds like it might be ‘Til Death, which aired from 2006-2010. The actress who played the daughter was recast three or four times.

Also, not an answer, but to rule out Rosanne—Rosanne lasted almost a decade and had excellent ratings—until it did get very wierd.

From what I’ve read, it’s not actually fun to watch. It’s more fun to read about.
