Twelve Writers From “The Simpsons” Who Have Gone on to Run Their Own Shows
Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein
From 1992-94 Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein worked collaboratively to scribe 12 episodes of The Simpsons, including the monumental episode “Who Shot Mr. Burns?” In 1999, Oakley and Weinstein created the cult classic animated TV series Mission Hill- originally titled The Downtowners. Unfortunately, the show was doomed to fail from a lack of promotion and was cancelled before the first season was completed. The pair of writers have gone on to create a few more failed pilots but, that does not mean they have not had their fair share of writing credits on many favourite TV shows. Next, the duo will be seen producing the Netflix series, Disenchantment.
