They mention it a bunch on the commentary as well: usually the sweetest jokes are the most unconnected to the plot and are thus the easiest to remove in favor of more ad time.

It'll certainly get taken down. What we are doing here is is clearly fair use as none of us are actively selling what we are doing. We're basically kids in an art class. What the site is doing is clearly outside of fair use as they are selling someone else's IP for profit. Recontextualized or not, it is still 100% Simpsons. Even if Disney and Fox weren't known for viciously protecting their merchandising rights, which they are, it would still get closed up quick. Which is a shame, I would love to buy the Milpool socks for a friend, but their shipping window doesn't fill me with confidence.

If any of you are interested in the beginnings of the Simpsons, how it got started, what world existed that allowed it to flourish, and just how the show got made, I strongly recommended The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History by John Ortved. It is an exceptional read about the first decade of the show. Tracy Ullman being super bitter about the Simpsons because she thought that they sabotaged her show; and not the fact that it was an overly-cerebral sketch show that America just didn't care about. It regularly had over an hour downtime between sketches because there was so much makeup, costumes, and set breakdown, that the audience on set would understandably get bored and wander off - and word got out quick the only reason to go was to see all the Simpsons shorts they fed to them between skits. Something that was true of the broadcast version of the show as well. Of course, she claimed it sabotaged her only after it was settled in court that no, she does not get any sort of money on the back end from the Simpsons. James L Brooks slowly forcing Sam Simon out because the episode where Mr. Burns needs rare blood from Bart is a 1-to-1 retelling of what happened happened with Brooks' illness. (including the company memo from Smithers/Richard Sakai saying 'you should be so lucky to have your blood in someone so important') Matt Groening being a writers room pariah because he would only barely participate in writing, layout, and general production of episodes, but would unapologetically take full credit for every step of the process in the hundreds of interviews he did, then fight to make sure no one but him got merchandising checks. It's really good.

Android Apocalypse posted:IMO Simon was the funnier one that helped drive the humor of the show over Brooks, but Brooks has been there for what feels like eternity that I suspect Simon would've slipped as well if he was on the show for as long. Eh, it's kinda 'which paintbrush is responsible for the masterpiece' sort of thing. They all brought their voice to the show and with very few exceptions, no one wrote individual parts of the show. Simon was definitely the sharp one of the group, but we're only talking about it now because of Brooks' syrup and Groenings acid made something that stood the test of time. That, and the first three years writers room -even at the time- was known as a dream-team of writers. That then set the stage for the next few years because since the original group was the team everyone looked to and wanted to be on, the producers had their pick of the litter or writers for the golden age of Simpsons. It was never really in question that the show would do well (certainly they couldn't have predicted to what extent, though), the only thing in question was whether or not Fox would be able to keep the lights on. They knew they had a hot property, and from top to bottom they put together the strongest team the world of TV could muster. Which is why the all the interviews went to Groening for interviews. "Long-time smart successful TV producers produce another successful smart TV show" is not an interesting headline. "Starving artist outsider cartoonist strikes it rich" sells so much better. And as it turned out, Groening drank a bit too much of his own Kool-aid that he made in the interviews and got too big for his own britches in the eyes of the writers and show runners. He fought constantly against the better judgment of the people who actually knew how to make the show citing his own interviews as his position of power and had to be constantly reminded that being a cartoonist does not a show-runner make.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Also funny that while most audiences would assume they're a Tom and Jerry parody, apparently the crew have confirmed they're more specifically inspired by Herman and Katnip. (which to be fair is a ripoff of Tom and Jerry, most notable for being considerably more violent and over-the-top in a way that Itchy and Scratchy took even further) They've definitely cited Herman and Katnip as the source; they talk about it pretty plainly on the early season DVD commentaries. They coupled that with some of the animation directors penchant for drawing super-gory cartoons in their younger days HappyCapybaraFamily posted:Me reading the past couple pages

Because one dummy in a test-screener said, "wait, who is Rainier Wolfcastle? Where did we meet him?" Rainier Wolfcastle does appear in the Simpsons Movie; in the background of an angry crowd.
