After David Wise, who was the best writer of the original series?

*pannoni1* · 11-04-2011, 07:05 AM

Most real fans of the original series know that David Wise is the most prolific man writing the scripts for our adventures, not only writing the most episodes by far, but also garnering the best critical reception (except for his final season). Still, a total of nine writers/partners contributed at least four episodes to the series, and to explore which episodes are the best, it may be critical to compare the episodes that each writer wrote and compare them to the episodes that fans feel were the best. I will include four episodes next to each in this poll to make it fair.

Michael Reaves (19 episodes)
Francis Moss/Ted Pedersen (15 episodes)
Jack and/or Carole Mendelsohn (15 episodes)
Misty Taggart (12 episodes)
Mark and/or Michael Edens (10 episodes)
Jeffrey Scott (8 episodes)
Dennis O'Flaherty (8 episodes)
Doug Molitor (4 episodes)
David Carren & Larry Carroll (4 episodes)
