I am under the impression, tho, that the fired guy really took EVERYTHING over, & it was his ideas, thoughts, his way or the highway. With Corday paying no attention, things got really out of hand fast. He had no interest in story, cast, etc., so just left it all in fired guy's hands. But eventually came the wake up call. It is too bad he did not have the same talent, and inspiration his parents did, but his interest was really in the music field. The current exec producer has been with the show a long time, so hope she is successful in turning things around.
