So, why did they REALLY kill Carl??

There was a reason why the producers changed their minds about keeping Riggs on the show. What made them change their minds? It certainly doesn't serve the series to have him gone. If anything, having Carl gone eliminates tons of possible stories and doesn't add any. Carl's character is a major player in the comics to the this day. It really made no sense storywise. According to Chandler's dad's tweet, the decision was abrupt and appeared to come out of nowhere. Neither Riggs or his dad were happy about the decision. So, why did the producers fire him?

The show is painful to watch now. Even though I didn't want them to kill Carl, the show where he died was the best one in a long time. It was far from perfect, but it wasn't a chore watching. AMC are the cheapest of all the cable stations. No wonder they haven't had a hit in a long time. THEY ARE CHEAP AS F.

Whenever they do something to save money they cheapen the show and quality suffers. The show would have been 100 times better if they didn't fire Frank Darabont after season one. AMC are cheap as Hell.
