What happened to his character on the show? Did he just suddenly dissapear? I thought he was great too, then he was gone.
He could have been used as much as Leo.
I think even before Eric left the show started to go down hill somewhat.
Eric, well no one really, was allowed to move on and go to college, let the characters evolve. Cept maybe Kitty and Red.
Eric was forced to stay home, Donna wouldn't go to college, then the characters sort of just drifted for a while.
I wasn't too happy with some of the changes either, Kitty suddenly being so mean to Donna. And even though I can see why the parents would be somewhat upset about the engagement, its not like they were getting married yet. Just engaged. They could be engaged for 4 years. Just made Red seem a little overly mean for no real reason. Then to have it end with them not getting married and then sort of drifting.
Anyway, I liked the show. But I think thats why Topher left. He felt that his character, I think he said, had gone as far as he could or done all he could do or something.
Wish they had let some of them go to college, that could have just been another setting, like the Basement. Now, every once in a while we see Eric or Donna's dorm room. We get a scene with Eric falling asleep in college class, or Donna trying to sneak back into her dorm after lock up and not being allowed in because they are locked up meanwhile Eric's Dorm is open all night. Stuff like that.
