Series Creators[edit]

I have a BIG issue with this sentence: "The series was created by Herschel Daugherty and Gary Nelson."

First off, where does this come from?? To the best of my knowledge, Daugherty and Nelson were *directors*, not writers. I just double-checked on IMDb, to be sure, and sure enough, neither of them has any writing to their credit on there, at all.

Now granted, sometimes the creator of a show is not necessarily a writer (Philip D'Antoni comes to mind, who co-created Movin' on) but they typically are producers, if not writers, and this is really really rare.

So, since I had TV Land recordings of the show under hand, I went through the episodes to see what was what. As far as I can tell, Daugherty and Nelson's involvement with the show was limited to shooting one episode each (1x03 for the former and 1x04 for the latter).

The credits, unfortunately, do not ever mention the show's creator(s). However, I am pretty certain the two aforementioned directors had nothing to do with it.

If we had to guess as to the identity of the show's creator, I think the most likely suspect would be David Shaw, who served as executive producer on the entire series. Why? Because, aside from a couple other episodes, he happened to write the very first one.

The mention of Daugherty & Nelson as creators, in any case, should be removed. Which I will do if no solid proof to the contrary is provided. Desdenova (talk) 00:13, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
