Why was Scully dropped after just three eps? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did Josh Bryant who played guest character Scully (who dates Margaret) want out of the series or did the producers want him out? I saw today the ep when he and Margaret break up and I wonder why they did that to his character. He was a good semi-regular edition to the show.

I don't know. I liked him, too. Maybe he just wanted to focus on Salem's Lot?

Salem's Lot was a Stephen King written miniseries that came out in '79 when he was acting in MASH...

...I was being somewhat sarcastic in my response that this would have consumed so much time I think...idk.

Scully was a pretty good character. He helped Maragret show a more fun loving passionate side, but ultimately her and Scully were too opposite for a long term thing.

Maragret was always attracted to officers who were by the book, Scully was a grunt who barely followed the rules.
Scully wanted a more traditional woman who would settle down with him and be a good little wife, but Maragret loved the her life and calling her own shots.

Scully helped Maragaret drop her guard and loosen up a bit, but they were too different for anything other than a few episodes full of fun and romance.
