>>77941690>None of the characters are as they were when the show began or when they first were introduced.thats not really a status quo issue
character getting fleshed out and having more details or facets is something common in most shows status or not
as time goes on and different writer come and go the character are bound to change over time.
the most notable example of this is ned flanders starting out as the model family man as a foil to homer to being a crazed evangelical.
the reason most AT fans complain about status quo is because almost all major changes have been temporary or are details that just get thrown away. and these major changes happen way to frequently on the show and its annoying that there all meaningless. its like waving a carrot on a stick, making major changes attracts viewers but the writers are always too chicken to go through with it.
