Actually, I did say that Leonard was possibly added to cut costs to use on other parts of the show, but among other reasons as well (like drawing in PI fans). Honestly, if I was Fresh, I'd be using that budget wisely and saving as much money as I could with design and animation. The show isn't exactly cheap by any standards with such a huge cast and a wide variety of locations in each of the 26 episodes.
