Tim Minear is a Bloody Moron for Killing Off Bobby - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

icecream · 04-18-2025, 12:10 PM

Captain Bobby Nash was the heart and soul of 9-1-1 along with Athena Grant. He was killed off in the two parter that finished last night. In a TVLine article, showrunner Tim Minear said this needed to happen. No it didn't, you bloody moron! I will finish the three episodes left this season but don't know if I will stick around for season 9. The ratings will really plummet now, numerous angry comments on the TVLine article. And I was going to watch the 9-1-1: Nashville spin-off. Not anymore, definitely not adding another Tim Minear show after how horribly he treated the main character here. Might be different if Peter Krause had requested to leave, but he didn't.
