there are a zillion producers on staff on television shows.
most are writers with tenure and a title. not that they don't
do any actual producing. in tv, as opposed to film, the
writers are there from beginning to end. directors are hired
guns who come in to do their episodes. the writer of a
specific episode usually is on set during production of that
episode to ensure creative consistency from episode to
episode
