Ewww he's my uncle :S
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Bill Oakley. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
I love the work of Bill Oakley, I think his years of running the Simpsons, were the best years of the show, I love his shows the Mullets and Mission Hill and I can reconise his and Josh's jokes in Futurama when they surved as consulting producers there, I think he is probaply one of the greatest writers ever! All the scripts he has written are great and I personally think Mission Hill should have run for at least seven or eight seasons and then moved on and started the Mullets because that would've lasted longer because he and Josh would've gotten a greater reputation, but sadly because it was stupidly cancelled by WB execs that didn't happen. Infact, Mission Hill was probaply better than Futurama and the Mullets was probaply better than Season 4 of Family Guy. But sadly he isn't as big of a success as someone like Al Jean or Mike Scully, and I think that's wrong because in my opinion I feel he did a better job running the Simpsons than Al Jean's seasons 13-18 and Mike Scully's four years put togethor. A truly great writer!
