Ranking the Writers

These are the folks that dreamt up all that stuff we've been reconsidering.

Writers are sorted by the number of episodes contributed, then last name (of first writer billed in a team), except for Glenn Eichler and Anne D. Bernstein, who go first because I say so.

Many thanks to Martin J. Pollard of Outpost Daria for having all this information in one place.

The numbers are votes and (percentages). Fan favorites from our arbitrary groups are in red text, with special recognition of wildcard picks in green text. Italics denote seaon favorites. The colored boxes indicate:

= Cellar Dweller	=1-25%	=26-50%	=51-75%

Glenn Eichler
NOTE: Along with inventing the main character, writing the pilot and two TV movies, becoming an executive producer -- AND co-writing a freakin' musical -- most of Mr. Eichler's episodes also ran against one another in the '01s and '13s. Keep this in mind when considering these scores.
