Like any company, I think it's unfair for a boss to hire someone just because they're family. Having connections is one thing, like knowing someone who can put in a good word for you and get your foot in the door. Numerous people get internships that way. But for the boss to give their spouse/sibling a job without an interview or writing sample is kinda messed up. However, if he/she can prove themselves to be a great writer, then it's fine.
Rachel Pulido (Bill Oakley's wife) hit it out of the park with the criminally underrated "Grade School Confidential. The Bumble-Bee Man segment in "22 Short Films" I can take or leave.
Brian Scully (Mike Scully's brother) seemed promising with "Lost Our Lisa," but mucked it up with "Sunday Cruddy Sunday" and "Make Room for Lisa."
Julie Thacker's (Scully's wife) episodes are just forgettable. Not bad, but not classics either.
Joel H Cohen (brother of "Flaming Moe's" writer, Robert Cohen) is considered one of the worst writers.
Stephanie Gillis' (Al Jean's wife) episodes are forgettable too. I don't even remember all the ones she's written.
Thoughts?
