Looking at the credits for some shows, I notice that a different writer works on each episode.
How does that work exactly?
Is it that a group of writers actually work together on the series and only one person is given credit for individual episodes? (If that's the case, seems unfair to me)
Or is it that the individual mentioned as the writer for the episode wrote it alone; if that is the case, I suppose the writer stays on task with the series by reading what other individual writers have written for the episodes previous to the one being worked on? (Just seems complicated and an unnecessary way of creating a show)
