This must’ve been a promo FOX did for affiliates or something, but it is pure nostalgia gold:
Fun notes:
0:25 – Groening talking about his drawing style being based on drawing without looking at what you’re doing so the teacher can’t tell you aren’t paying attention. Heh.
0:45 – A very young Mike Reiss noting that they spend two or three times as much time on a script as even good sitcoms. Methinks that number has come down in recent years.
1:10 – Hi, Al, bitchin’ jacket.
1:15 – An all too brief clip from the table read of “Kamp Krusty”.
1:30 – Castellaneta discussing the evolution of Homer’s voice.
2:00 – Why is Kavner dressed like she’s in the Witness Relocation Program?
2:20 – Check out the stylish hat on Yeardley Smith.
2:35 – I think Shearer and Brooks may have been in some kind of epic beard contest because they both look like lumberjacks.
2:40 – Azaria: “Whatever Dan and Harry don’t take, I kinda get.”
3:25 – so Klasky-Csupo HQ was . . . humble.
3:30 – Steve Moore shows some storyboards for “Bart the Murderer”.
4:00 – Was Archer and David Silverman talking animation.
4:30 – Alf Clausen talking about music with some recording footage from what sounds like Bart and Homer’s bonding montage in “Treehouse of Horror II”.
4:45 – Simon talking about how it’s fun to work on something you actually enjoy.
Then things end on a promo for that week’s episode of In Living Color. Aww, baby FOX was so cute.

1992, what a time to be alive. I loved seeing the layout drawing of Bart pulling faces, those days are long gone now. I think they use the same animation producing robot as Family Guy these days.
On KCPQ they would sometimes show this after a movie ended if the movie wasn’t quite long enough to fill the time slot.
[…] Via Dead Homer Society, here’s a vintage FOX promo/making-of vignette that puts some faces behind those all too familiar voices: […]
Given how shy Julie Kavner is known to be, I’m not surprised she dresses like Henry Hill.
Wow. I had zero idea Klasky Csupo evre worked on The Simpsons.
