->''"But honestly, it's hard to blame [[Creator/RichardLester Lester]] for [[Film/SupermanTheSeries the series]] being run into the ground. Much like Creator/JoelSchumacher, who took incredible heat from critics and fans (including me) for turning [[Film/BatmanFilmSeries the Batman series]] into [[DenserAndWackier garish camp comedy]], in the end, Lester was really only doing what his producers wanted. The sad, miserable fate of the Superman movie franchise rests solely with the Salkinds, who were too busy counting beans to realize how much potential for greatness this series really had. (There's a tendency to invest more money in the sequels of a hit movie, but in this situation, perversely, [[NoBudget the budgets dwindled as the series went on]].)"''

->''Conventional wisdom is that Creator/ShelleyLong’s career collapsed because she left ''{{Series/Cheers}}'' for movies. I am not going to argue against that point of view....Additionally, Long’s fans [[IAmNotSpock saw her as Diane]] and they weren’t especially eager to see her branch out into other roles. Many probably harbored a grudge against Long for leaving the show. Over the years, I have heard a lot of people take delight in Long’s perceived failure post-Cheers. There’s a mentality that Long was a little full of herself and got what she deserved for jumping ship on a hit show. That argument is not without merit. But I think you have to remember that Long spent five seasons on Cheers before she left. Early on, she was the show’s anchor. But after five years of watching Sam and Diane’s on-again-off-again relationship, things were beginning to get a little stale. Cheers actually became more successful after Long’s departure.''
