David Silverman

Uh, "just trying to improve it.

The writers dubbed the Flintstone Eight, were Al Edecken, Cindy Bagel, Beagle, uh, Lloyd Garver, David Silverman." I wonder, I gotta look who that is.

Oh.

[laughs]

Uh, Steven...

Well, David Silverman is, uh, a director for The Simpsons, but I don't think it's him.

I'll find out for you.

Am I right? Is it, is it David Silverman? That sounds so goddamn familiar.

So I'm sure we'll come back to him at some point very soon.

Well, it's all changed because we've got a new executive story editor, David Silverman, who also wrote it.

He and Stephen Sustarsik, who co-wrote this episode, wrote season one's Wild Thing.

Nothing since, but they're back for season four.

Like one episode in series one, now in two and three, and now four where they have a few credits.

So yeah, they're clearly head writers, execs or what have you.

And interestingly enough, it's not that David Silverman I thought it would be, the one who was a big hand in creating the look of The Simpsons.

Yes, yes.
