Mike Reiss The Simpsons
Reiss and Jean were hired as the first members of the Fox network animated series The Simpsons’ original writing team in 1989. At the beginning of the third season (1991), they took on the roles of executive producers and show runners for The Simpsons. “Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington,” their first episode, put a lot of pressure on them to make it good. They filled in as show sprinters for the rest of the fourth season (1993) and had the option to give the show more profundity during their residency. After the fourth season, they left to create The Critic, an animated series about a film critic named Jay Sherman (voiced by Jon Lovitz).
It premiered on ABC in January 1994 and was well-received by critics. However, viewers didn’t like it, so it was canceled after six weeks. Brooks made a deal with the Fox network to have The Critic switch for the second season. The fact that Matt Groening didn’t like the Sherman crossover on The Simpsons and that Reiss and Jean signed a three-year deal with The Walt Disney Company to produce other ABC TV shows are the most important details in this text.
