Reply to comment by fictionfreesfools in In opening credits, what does it mean when a writer is listed twice? by fictionfreesfools

I think it's more likely that it was written by one team, and then rewritten by the other.

WGA rules state that if the final draft keeps more than 33% of the original, the original writer (or writing team) gets a teleplay credit.

If it's less than that, and it kept a "basic narrative, idea, theme or outline," they get a story credit.
