Production
The season was the first season executive produced by
Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein, who had written episodes
for previous seasons. They were chosen partly because
they had been with the show since the third season and
understood many of its dynamics.[2] When they took over
the series they wanted the many of the episodes to be re-
alistic ones that focused more on the five members of the
Simpson family and explored their feelings and emotions
towards each other.[3] They also wanted to produce a
Treehouse of Horror episode, episodes about Sideshow Bob,
Itchy & Scratchy and several "format-bending" episodes
such as "22 Short Films About Springfield".[4] Their pre-
