The thing is, the show went through a similar situation that iCarly and Spongebob did. The old writers left (the significant one being Steve Marmel, who co-wrote all the best episodes with Butch Hartman) and the new ones who took their place just didn't grasp the essence of the show at all. Marmel left as soon as the baby came along.

However, I don't think they necesarily left out of fury over the direction the show was going. I think it had more to do with moving on to bigger and better things. Marmel went on to create Sonny With a Chance (a subpar show--I sincerely wish he had stayed with FOP). And although Scott Fellows was present throughout most of the run of the show and well into the Poof years, he was also active on at least 2-3 other shows (Ned, BTR and Johnny Test).

I honestly do believe the writers make a world of a difference on any given show--they should really get payed more!
