Why Robert Costello left DARK SHADOWS in 1969 and was replaced by Peter Miner?
-
As far as I know, he just chose to move on to other things. Also, Costello was brought to the show initially to provide the production expertise that Dan Curtis did not have. Two years into the run, Curtis had the experience to play a much more hands-on role, which may also have altered the contribution of a producer. For instance, having spoken briefly to Peter Miner, he recalls being specifically being employed to oversee the day-to-day running and admin side of production, and took little or no creative responsibility.

Robert Costello's post DS gig was Strange Paradise, one of my favorite series. He introduced the practice of having a daily voiceover recapping the preceding events. In the final 13 weeks of Strange Paradise, they discarded this, but it always tickles me when they do it.
