The writers were on a whole other level seasons 2-9. The writing quality and gags dropped dramatically after Phil Hartman died.

[@yingle6027]

The early Simpsons were the absolute best in story telling and comedy. I wonder why this is? Was it the writers or producers or what?

[@Grandmastergav86]

@@yingle6027 The writers went their separate ways, there's only so many stories you can tell even in animated form. The replacement writers simply didn't have the talent, frankly they were (and are inadequate) and the quality of the show suffered dramatically as a result. Conan O'Brian was one of the key writers for many years and I think he is overdue a lot of kudos for his contribution. Think of early Simpsons episodes, the jokes were often beautifully layered - a straightforward gag normally offered 2-4 "levels" of laughter. The later and current Simpsons episodes offer shallow, predictable, superficial humour.

Had Phil Hartman not died, I wonder what other characters he would have done throughout his career. He would have been Zapp Brannagan for sure, but beyond that voice, I'm also sure he would have ended up on other shows like Family Guy, Archer and Bob's Burgers, to name a few. I believe he was also supposed to be Dr. Hartman on Family Guy and that's why he's named Dr. Hartman. Imagine that, he would have been a permanent voice actor on Family Guy! Man, so many voices we just never got to hear. I have to say though, his absence created a tremendous vacuum that needed to be filled and we evetually ended up getting some great voice talents. Guys like Billy West, John Dimaggio and H. Jon Benjamin all stepped up after he died and they all did great. After he died, Billy West was recast into the Zapp Brannagan role. West admitted that he tweaked his performance in order to sound as much as Hartman as he could. And, in a way to honor Hartman, the lead character on Futurama, Phillip J. Fry, was renamed Phillip after Phil Hartman. Tremendous talent, gone right at the height of his career!

I let out the loudest howl and started sobbing, and we held each other and cried audibly. When the other students asked what had happened, none of them had heard of Phil.
