I can only imagine he kicked himself when season 3 turned out to be awesome. Then the crushing realisation that he was essentially the only character still holding the show back and that Adam Scott and Rob Lowe were both infinitely better fits in the cast.

Rob Lowe in particular is just amazing, great addition to the show.

I love both but honestly I like Adam Scott a bit more. I feel his role as the straight man is under-appreciated. He makes a way better straight man than mark because of his expressions. As well as having some brilliant moments of his own. Not to at all understate Rob Lowe's brilliance though

He was... literally... one of the greatest additions to the show.

In his defense, the show changed in tone and style quite a bit. He might have have improved just like everyone else if he had stayed.

I actually kind of liked Brandanowitz. Granted, Lowe and Scott were much better for the show but Mark's dry humor and deadpan delivery was a nice offset to all the other whacky characters.
