   I remember there was a lot of hatred for Mike Scully back in the day. Is he still generally reviled by old school Simpsons fans, or has that feeling subsided because a) no single person is totally responsible for Zombie Simpsons; b) bad as Scully’s seasons were, they’re still better than the ones that came after them; and b) at least Scully cleared out after four seasons, unlike Al Jean?

      Or d) no person who wrote Lisa on Ice and Two Dozen and One Greyhounds is deserving of pure hatred?

         Yeah, but Al Jean wrote some truly great episodes of the show, too, and.. well… look at HIS run…

            Damn, when I shoved an extra reason into my post, I forgot to change b) into c).

            In case anyone was wondering, “What’s that extra b) for?”, I can legitimately say, “It’s a typo.”

      Mike Scully is like those football players who are pretty good for a while, then they become managers and it turns out they aren’t that good.
      Of course, I can’t blame the guy. The show was a collapsing house of cards at that point.

   Charlie Sweatpants’ “In defense of Mike Scully” makes it clear that Charlie sees Mike as an unfortunate person for being in charge while the show was in its final years.

      Scully’s the Fred Freiberger of The Simpsons.
