TV Tropes has a lot of tropes and trivia items regarding Creators, but is there one regarding when the creator of a show is actually not even involved with the actual production of their show for one reason or another, such as maybe (as was a common practice in the old days) they wrote just the pilot episode for the sake of having a creator credit and/or salary, but decide not to stay with it when it's picked up for a series; or the creator sticks around for a while, then either leaves for other projects, or gets fired by the studio, while the show continues without them?
