Twelve Writers From “The Simpsons” Who Have Gone on to Run Their Own Shows
Greg Daniels
Greg Daniels is arguably one of the best Simpsons writers the show has ever lost. His credits include multiple “Treehouse of Horrors” episodes as well as “Lisa’s Wedding”,”Bart Sells His Soul”, and “Homer Badman.” Daniels left The Simpsons for an opportunity to create a new show alongside Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge. Together they developed one of the longest-running animated series of all-time with King of the Hill. Today, Greg Daniels is one of the most prolific writers in Hollywood having helped create series such as The Office, Parks & Recreation, and a slew of others.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
