I know they have a writers team, however that doesn't change the fact that episodes MUST be completed and sent to the studio for approval BEFORE they give them the greenlight (and money) for shooting. That's just the way it works. Doesn't matter if they're executive producers (that's just part of a typical contract deal anyway - usually after 2-3 seasons), the studio has all power over Sunny.

Improvisation is one thing, but you cannot improvise the entire script for an episode - which is specifically mentioned as what they finished writing. It must be sent to the studio and the episode list for the season compiled, budget, locations, planning - BEFORE they begin shooting.
