This is what pisses me off about so many shows.

There are ways to accomplish your narrative goals that dont need to be long and drawn out.

Coach Beard is a background character because, my understanding is that he is the principle writer of the show and just kind of wrote himself in.

He got 1 episode dedicated to him because the studio forced him.

But overall...his lines and they way he's written is goddamned brilliant.

All wheat...no chaff.
