Moved this information with the rest of the Simpsons details; also, Groening and Brooks were not showrunners (Brooks was too busy and Groening too inexperienced, leaving Simon to handle the showrunner duties like hiring the writing staff)

* Sam Bobrick is credited as the creator of ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' and all of its spinoffs and continuations over the years, but had no involvement whatsoever with the sprawling franchise after writing the original pilot for ''Good Morning Miss Bliss'', which aired on NBC in the summer of 1987 before being picked up as a series by Disney Channel in 1988. The primary creative force for that series, and ''Saved by the Bell'' afterwards, was producer Peter Engel.

In short, the unofficial title for an executive producer who oversees the creative content of the show, not just the financial aspects. To expand a bit, the showrunner is the person who gives the show its overall tone and direction, making all the final creative decisions about what the identity of the series is. Theoretically, the buck stops here. But in practice, the showrunner is beholden to people higher-up in the studio chain of command, and can be overruled by any combination of the studio producing the show[[note]]this is the role of the "executive in charge of production", who despite the showrunner-sounding title is actually the standard name for the studio liaison[[/note]], the network or service on which the show will be broadcast, and even the advertisers and sponsors.

For any number of reasons, from the studio/network [[ExecutiveMeddling forcibly removing them from the project]], being [[CreatorBreakdown overwhelmed by the stress of production]], or just wanting to take a break or pursue other ideas, the original showrunner may leave and be replaced by a new one. The new showrunner is usually advancing from the role of head writer, and this changing of the guard can often be a JumpTheShark or GrowingTheBeard moment if their vision for the show differs from that of their predecessor. Creators or showrunners who step down into smaller roles on the production (or even leave the production all together) may continue to be credited as an executive producer for the remainder of the show's run regardless, although sometimes they will be "demoted" to consulting producer or creative consultant.
