    Former "Simpsons" Writers Who Shaped Comedy

    Former "Simpsons" Writers Who Shaped Comedy

    Through 30+ years of hearing Homer yell, "Do'h," you must have asked,"Who writes this stuff?" Well, Conan O'Brien and Greg Daniels for starters. Who else started in Springfield?
    Who got their start with "The Simpsons"?

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      After Phil Hartman was murdered, the various characters he played, such as lawyer Lionel Hutz and actor Troy McClure, were retired, rather than re-cast. However, they continued to appear silently in crowd scenes. Season ten, episode three, "Bart the Mother" (September 27, 1998) was his final voice performance.
    • Goofs
      Ralph Wiggum is in Bart's class in some episodes and Lisa's in others. The same can be said about a few other recurring students.
    • Quotes

      Lisa: Dad, just for once don't you want to try something new?

      Homer: Oh Lisa, trying is just the first step toward failure.

    • Crazy credits
      There is one episode where Homer complains about how rich all the people listed in the closing credits (save for one) are. When the Gracie film logo comes up, Homer says, "Don't 'SSSHHH' me, you rich bastard!"
    • Alternate versions
      Beginning with the show's cable syndication run on FXX on August 21, 2014, new syndication masters have been created. Each episode has been restored to its full length, and is now presented in 16X9 high definition. In addition, credits for the Spanish SAP Translation have been added to the end credits of each episode.

    Excellent
    The Simpsons is one of the best TV shows of all times. It is a perfect mirror of the American culture and has many memorable moments that will always be remembered . I don't know anybody who doesn't like this show, it's impossible not to be a fan of it. You could watch each episode 20 times and never get tired, you will always find a new funny thing every time you watch it

    Unfotunatley the show is getting worse and worse with every new season, Maybe it's time to let "The Simpsons" die with dignity before the audience starts to hate it.

    My rating: 11/10
