I agree that this isn't really about Little Joe screwing up the franchise, but about how the franchise can be screwed up by anybody who signs off on the wrong casting decision. I'm'a tweak the thread title. Fair is fair.

In all seriousness, I think there is probably a 50/50 breakdown of suckiness greatness based on the cast, you probably have as many hits or "good" movies with known cast/leads as you do crap. The thing that bothers me about the casting for WW and Superman is the idea that the only want to cast young unknowns, thereby throwing out several good candidates along the way.

It also gives insight into why Buffy and Joss got no love from UPN after Dean Valentine was shown the door. And likely why The WB and Fox will do little with the Buffy franchise again.

Upshot is, with Valentine out at UPN and Levin out at the WB, nobody's gonna want to touch their drop, even if it enjoyed some popularity. (Which makes the localized celebrating of Levin's ouster pretty ironic in context.)

I still maintain to this day, while UPN had made some missteps along the way that had hurt their chances as a network (ie. Falling back on their one flagship show to keep their network afloat), it was Buffy that almost put a nail in their coffin for good. Quote:
If there had been any sense involved, there would have been a cookie campaigning goat romp to save Levin's job.

Thanks Penny & Prima - now that you mention it, I seem to recall reading about that a while ago, but didn't make the connection to Goldman. But yes, I am familiar with the principle at play - I suspect it was part of the reason that "Dead Like Me" was cancelled in favour of "Huff" after Janollari came on board at Showtime.

? His writing? Some of the best episodes of Buffy were his. It wasn't so much his actual writing as his lackbrained, ill thought out ideas.

I think Whedon's writing for BtVS wasn't that bad, and his better work was on that show. When he wrote for AtS, he wrote the characters OOC, and managed to really screw up the show royally.
