i read in "the first year" that wallace left the program after only 13 weeks into it's run.
If the book says that, then whoever wrote it has no idea what they're talking about. Wallace was still writing scripts through Ep #85, and he continued as head writer through the intro of Barnabas. Maybe the writer got confused by the fact that Wallace wrote all the scripts up to Ep #40, and then he alternated with Francis Swann.

so it's somewhat remarkable that he continued to get a credit thoughout the show's run.
especially given how far removed the series became from wallace's original vision and so many of "his" characters had departed eventually.
i was even more surprised that he was given an opening credit in the 1991 revival series given that that version had virtually nothing to do with any of wallace's concepts(minus the bit with vicki on the train).
So long as any of the characters Wallace created are used, his original contract guarantees Wallace a credit thanks to a lawsuit Wallace won against DC.
