On The Bart Show: When The Simpsons Were Almost Much Worse
Denise I have to disagree. The "golden age" of the Simpsons is certainly over. I could go into longer detail but I don't think it is worth it when you claim Season 20 is your favorite. How the Simpsons lost its mojo is certainly an interesting topic that could spurn debate, I'd like to see an analysis on Splitsider at some point.

On How We Wrote Classic Simpsons Episodes
Awesome article, I'd like to hear more about how writers or writer's assistants get hired. Bill Oakley is the man, he tweeted at me once!

On The Simpsons Will Never Die, The Simpsons Will Live Forever
It is so frustrating to watch new simpsons episodes, they are generally terrible. I just can't understand why we've gotten to this point. I don't really believe that the writers don't care anymore, and I assume that they are generally funny people. So why the terrible jokes, why the eye-rolling plots, how did the show go from genius to pathetic? Adam I'm curious what you think!

On Why More Women Should Write Comedy: A Mathematical (But Not Boring) Study
I'm curious how many female writers splitsider employs? Also, not to start a flame war but in my limited experience I know many more funny boys than funny girls. I think that boys try harder as the article points out, but don't believe that they are inherently funnier. I think gender norms and general cultural reasons are why more women don't go into comedy, and it is pretty difficult to change the culture of a nation. I love women and think they are funny, but sexism still exists in America both in people creating television and in the audience. Sexism in the audience might be why boys are more successful at writing comedy.
