there isn't seriously going to be a month long break is there? This looks like a job for TWITTER!
You know Bohdan, you probably could've asked Matt Selman on Twitter if there's gonna be guest stars for one of his showrunned episodes for the U-cycle, such as Pixelated and Afraid', 'The Longest Marge', 'Boyz N the Highlands', 'You Won't Believe What This Episode is About -- Act Three Will Shock You', 'Bart the Cool Kid', 'My Octopus and a Teacher', 'Girls Just Shauna Have Fun', 'Meat is Murder' and 'Poorhouse Rock'. I'm just saying
Well that's splendid news, I might be okay with Matt Selman being the showrunner for Treehouse of Horror XXXIII next yearAl Jean WON'T be showrunner for THOH33, cause it isn't in code UABF19 Congratulations to all with the first [future] Selman-runned Treehouse!
Wait, is this true? I thought it was purely Selman.HoH though? Actually deserves the hype but I can only give a partial credit since it was co-run by Jean.
Of course Al Jean can do things right. He has been in the show since its first season and probably nobody dedicated more time and put more effort into the show than him. The point is, the role of showrunner has an expiration date, and Al Jean reached it, like, in season 17? And, the most he keeps producing, the most the quality of his episodes decrease.I'm even gonna be nice and say it's not like Al Jean can never ever do anything right. Just he's phoning it in extra hard lately and I think even the less observant watchers can tell. Maybe there'd be some improvements if he just took a break for a season or two but at that point would anyone want him back?
Or what about Michael Price, hmm?Of course Al Jean can do things right. He has been in the show since its first season and probably nobody dedicated more time and put more effort into the show than him. The point is, the role of showrunner has an expiration date, and Al Jean reached it, like, in season 17? And, the most he keeps producing, the most the quality of his episodes decrease.
I mean, it's already hard for a show to be on air for 33 years without becoming repetitive, imagine if topping it all off, the same guy was the "leader" for twenty years. It eventually became tatty, and each year seems to be worse. I would be excited if Al Jean stays in the show as a writer, but someone who produced around 400 episodes has too little to offer.
Furthermore, the ideal situation of the show for me is that in the next production cycle Matt Selman takes the full charge, but already giving another person (Carolyn Omine?) the opportunity of running two or three episodes. Selman is already the third showrunner with more episodes produced, how much could he stay without a decline in quality?
