Marge vs. the Monorail[edit]

I looked through the credits of the episode Marge vs. the Monorail, but no where in the credits is the name "Conan O'Brian" listed. However, no "writer" position is listed either. What gives? If Conan O'Brian wrote this epsisode, why isn't it listed in the credits? Kevin 03:50, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No idea, but I've seen his name there before. Maybe the scene that has his name was edited out in syndication. That has happened before. -- Scorpion 04:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Should we still credit him as being a writer in the episode? Kevin 19:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. -- Scorpion 19:20, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If there was any doubt, he's credited as the writer in the booklet that comes with the Season 4 DVD set. Proof enough for me. --Invader122 23:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of producers and show runners[edit]

This graphic is very difficult to interpret, being in various shades of red. It would be much easier to understand if it was in contrasting colours. Can someone do this? Julianhall (talk) 21:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sortable[edit]

Would be nice if the table were sortable by names and especially by written episodes count. –Kloth (talk) 09:39, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Current Writer[edit]
