Quality.

I get why the staff wants Clyde McBride to be such featured character. He’s Lincoln’s best friend and a supporting confidant that helps Lincoln in ways that not even his sisters can do.

The problem is that the Clincoln McCloud formula is rather tedious at times, namely because the “bros going on an adventure” plot is pretty boring because Clyde usually doesn’t contribute anything of value to the story; being a less charismatic, less entertaining version of Lincoln doesn’t warrant the amount of screen presence he gets.

Take “Not a Loud” (quite possibly the worst Clincoln McCloud episode to date) for example; Clyde’s part in the story is so negligible that he could be written out entirely and the quality wouldn’t suffer one bit.
