Not that I'm defending any opinions that Grahame-Smith might have of the original DS, but we should probably keep in mind that he wasn't hired because he's a fan and/or even enjoyed the show - he was hired because Burton really liked his script for Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter and felt he'd be perfect for DS. And considering how often I've read/heard comments from screenwriters about how they weren't familiar with the source material before they adapted it, I'd say the situation seems to happen quite often.
