I've always thought it was strange that episodes would have different writers, meaning that the characters would feel slightly different (or drastically different) and with a different voice from episode to episode.

TV shows being rewatchable on DVD and then streaming and "is it canon?!?!?!" weren't big things before recently, so different writers was just them trying scripts and seeing what happened since it would be a long time before people would see that episode again, if ever. If something didn't work it'd get dropped, if someone went over well then they'd keep it.
