Why didn't any of the season 1 writers return?
 
I always wondered why, was it a budget thing or something? It seems rather strange to completely replace an entire writing team after one season.

Maybe they had other commitments to other shows. Is it really considered to be unusual though?

I have this mental picture of wild, raunchy writer parties on the Nickelodeon backlot, followed by rounds of pink slips in inboxes the following morning...

ToTheNines 03-03-2016 06:43 PM

I'm not sure. I really miss Kenny Byerly and Sternin/Ventimilia :(

It's not unusual for writers to move on to other shows, what I found strange is none of them came back. There were ten of them, none came back and several of the season 2 writers have stayed onboard.

Two writers left. Ciro Nieli is still the director along with Brandon Aumon. I think you're forgetting the overall direction of the show is based on what Ciro wants, not individual writers.

But the quality of the show is heavily dependent on the writers, and in my opinion the show hasn't been as good since season one due to the writers leaving.

More like 10. Count gooder fool.

10 writers? Who are they, I would like to see a list. Some of them probably only wrote 1-2 episodes.

Good news. Al Gore invented the Internet for occasions such as these.

Why so many writers though.. no wonder it's a cluster mess and poor/choppy continuity. For example previous writers wrote a lameass character like Timothy and the new writers don't like him, then they put him on the side, probably for all eternity (not complaining about his stupid fate though).

Point is, only one writer is suffice tbh. Does JK Rowling need 10 writers to write a story? No. Does Stan Sakai? No. Stop hiring these redundant extra wheels that contribute nothing to the series.

Pulled straight from Wikipedia:
  1. Joshua Sternin
  2. J.R. Ventimilia
  3. Jeremy Shipp
  4. Joshua Hamilton
  5. Tom Alvarado
  6. Russ Carney
  7. Ron Corcillo
  8. Kenny Byerly
  9. Jase Ricci
  10. Pete Goldfinger

In case you don't believe any of these people left after the first season, just go here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ries)_episodes , press CTRL+F and type in one of these names into the little search bar, you will see that none of them returned for later seasons.

It's fairly common to let a writing staff go after the first season. Once a show finds its footing, show runners and producers will get new writers that can mesh better with the direction of the show.

It was an obvious joke, kid. Much like your grammar.

You're grammar a sh*t

Grammer*

Oh my God, everyone but Snake and Powder can go die.

Powder 03-05-2016 01:17 PM

Did I miss something between 6AM & Noon? :tlol:

ToTheNines 03-05-2016 01:21 PM

I guess he deleted it, but some knucklehead didn't get my (super obvious) joke... again lol.

Anyways, I just remembered that Peter Dicicco was the script coordinator during season one. I don't know if he still holds that position, but he's been on the writing staff since season two. Kind of interesting that he's the only one.
