But the Katzman/Paulsen regime had no intention of doing so. In addition, the Parmalee claim wasn’t revealed until October, and the December scripts were already written and likely shot. You simply can’t rip up the script and change on the fly when you’re producing 30 episodes per season. There was no “chickening out” or “cold feet”.Also, I don’t believe that the final scene of season 9 was going to be the Ben Stivers reveal. I believe it would have been the explosion in the Ewing building.</blockquote>
