Novak's continued inclusion in the opening credits was often questioned in the later years of the series, as the role of Ryan Howard has been significantly downplayed since season 5, and is now considered to be no more significant than other characters whose actors are not given an opening credit. Novak officially left the opening credits in the Season 9 premiere and was credited as a guest star.

“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
“The rangey bough anticipated fruit
With snowballs cupped in every opening bud.
The road alone maintained itself in mud....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images of the Lord, thy God, nor of men who are his creatures.”
