But the people working on The Simpsons DIDN'T do that... which would argue that they perhaps WEREN'T capable or skilled enough to notice that their metaphorical chain was becoming a problem. Except they did. re-read what I said. ParanoidObsessive posted... But you've just described the beginnings of nearly every long-running show As a build-up to a point made later. Again, re-read what I said. You'll notice the answer to both in the same paragraph. ParanoidObsessive posted... There's nothing to suggest they could have salvaged things with Hartman still around, and plenty of reasons to assume they probably couldn't have. Examples, PO. Show me proof that they were so incompetent, because that sounds like a damning accusation against the writers and showrunners, whilst ignoring what I stated about them identifying an issue before it got too bad, and trying to fix it. Sometimes, the best of us writers can only adjust so much or do so well when we lose something or someone so vital. Another example is when Nolan's Batman trilogy plummeted in quality after Heath Ledger died. Nolan had so many plans for his Joker for the third film, and instead had to inject a dozen other things. We all saw how that mess went. Seasons ten and onward of The Simpsons were nowhere as much of a dip in quality as "Dark Knight Rises." The writers and showrunners did identify a small issue and try to address it. Their success was limited. ParanoidObsessive posted... And arguably, he might not even have been that great an asset regardless, considering they were already considering spinning him off into a separate show. Oh really, now? And where's your source on this? Also, that sounds like the opposite being not being a big asset if he was good enough to carry a spinoff or a separate show entirely (either way). That sounds to me like he was valued so greatly, that the idea crossed their minds, only for it to go nowhere when he was lost. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
