I wonder if Nick is finally realizing what a huge mistake they made in 2004. I mean, looking back that was probably one of the biggest screw ups in TV history. Before then they had multiple writers creating multiple shows that were each popular in their own right. It was a sort of insurance. If one writer left or went bad they still had multiple sources of talent hence ad revenue. But then everyone but Dan and the writers of Ned/BTR left. We know that in Craig's case it was because Nick was trying to control him. They probably treated everyone else like crap as well.

Since the people who wrote Ned and BTR are really hit or miss Dan was their only reliable writer. This was a fatal flaw for Nick, but Schneider's Bakery's almost miraculous miraculous ability to create massive hits papered over Nick's issues for close to a decade. Now that they've milked Dan dry they have no backup and the network is failing. This all traces back to 2004's purge. I wonder if bringing back Craig is an attempt to rectify this situation. The Jungle Movie will be huge if Nick doesn't botch the promotion.
