The actor has once again taken aim at his former NBC sitcom: "I didn't want to be with those people."

Its not really what he was saying, but he could have had a point. The shows writers really did kind of have it out for him (with good reason as stated everywhere else), and as a result they didn't give him very much to work with. Even his use of the N word was directed at the writers, saying something like "pretty soon they'll just have me call Donald N----r". Its really a vicious cycle, because it's hard to write good jokes for a person you dislike as much as the writers did chevy. And then Chevy gets even shittier to you because you constantly give him the worst lines.

They did seem to kind of lose focus on Pierce as time went time on. In the beginning he was a rich out of touch guy, but would give good advice every now and then still or a word of wisdom from his age. But then, the same thing happened to Britta, who got dumber as the show went on, and Chang, who got crazier as the show went on. It might just be a result of the same Flanderization.

He's always been a bastard towards his cast mates. There was a roast of his where everyone railed on him for being such a pain in the ass to work with and it was absolutely getting to him. He deserves all the roasting he got because he has never shown a scrap of remorse.
