"So, essentially, it took away the very factor that made the original Pasta so creepy, which was the enigma of 'watching dead air',  by making some bully-slayer the creator of the show? That is so bland." Yep. I actually consider this the first official adaptation of Jeff the Killer because, like I said, that is pretty much the route they took with it.

I think them coming up with their own ideas could have been a good way to go if they would have done it right. It's not so much that they changed the storyline as much as the fact that the plot they gave it was bland and boring with a bunch of filler. I got irked at the last few minutes of the last episode of the Candle Cove series because they had a painfully slow camera pan that seemed to go at a slow speed simply to rack up the running time.
