I know that no one likes either choice, but all the Mike vs Joel arguements seem to be actor/performance centered.
However, I'm wondering if anyone can argue who had the greater influence creatively in terms of writing funny lines and shaping the show.
Mike was always the head writer, but Joel was the creator. I can't even vote because I just don't know.

Mikes acting was better than joels IMO
Mikes Comedy was better than joels IMO
Losing mike would have hurt the show. hard. mike could have filled in for those early years easier.
But i think things work out for the best with joel, and mike both getting chances to be the man in the suit.

I think that everything happens for a reason, and I think that things happened the way they did because that’s the way it was supposed to be. (Concerning the show.) No point in arguing over what might have happened in some weird parallel universe. I’m happy with the reality of the show as it is.
Edited to add the word "what", which I forgot due to my lack of an edumacation.

I think Mike not writting til Season 5 would have been the worst fate out of those two. IMO I think it was his humor that was the glue to the show.

For some reason, I picked Joel, too weird of a change to early one especially since Servo changed too. Even if Mike lasted into the second season it wouldn't have lasted because the cult base was just starting but was very fragil.

The Mike one because . . .
If Joel left the show, he would be missed, but it would be like the Mike episodes now, and still have the humor. If Mike wrote for the show after season five, then it wouldn't be as funny, and may not be a cult hit thing.

The more Mike, the better for me.

A drastic change early on would spell the end. But what would be worse would be Mike leaving after season 5.
