The man who, since becoming
executive producer on The Simpsons, has overseen it go from one of the funniest and well-written shows on TV crammed with sharp observations on the
minutiae of modern life, to an endless procession of puerile humour, needless celebrity cameos, and the feeling they haven’t done any work on the script after the initial draft before
chucking it on TV.
Al Jean will be forever remembered as the person responsible for
The Simpsons being an
embarassing shadow of its former self.
