[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 419688, member: 57984"] I realize this reveals my potential corruption, but Bob McCullough was a brilliant showrunner; I'm currently re-watching the first three seasons of FALCON CREST (as I do most Marches, although I somehow missed last year) and it's nuts how fast the show collapsed after he was fired -- twice -- by the end of Season 3. (The first two-thirds of Season 4, without McCullough, were acceptable, but then CBS delivered the[I] coup de grâce[/I] by demanding the nazi treasure storyline be dropped immediately, leaving the writers to cobble together 10 episodes of plotting in order to finish out the year, the series -- in my estimation -- never recovering). Should they have allowed him to stay, or brought him back, even if he ran roughshod over the employees? Maybe they could have asked him to not manipulate so much, pretty-please? Here's an interview with McCullough from about a year ago (he doesn't mention FC directly): [MEDIA=youtube]yzM2hyibETU[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
