We have to as writers in the writer’s room actually have to share a lot. “There are a lot of laughs and that’s the enjoyable part of this thing.
Frink says the writers often go off onto digressions about their own lives and that shows up in the script.
“When we have to focus on the actual script, it gets quite quiet because there’s a lot of just thinking and trying to get the story to work and to get the right lines to make that story work,” the producer explains.Īlthough the Simpsons writer’s room is serious at times, the content of the script also makes it very fun. Frink says that the writers room switches between multiple shows in one day to keep things moving. It takes about 9 months after the table read for an episode to go on air. It’s an extensive rewrite process and most of writing is rewriting,” Frink explains.įrink shares a rewarding part of the process, “The actors are just so entertaining at the table read and as a writer, you can only hope for that because it won’t be a hard night tonight because they sold that joke or that story.” Its recorded three days later and then we go to animatics, colors, and we’re re-writing all along to those things. We do that and then it is read, and we re-write to that. “There’s multiple rewrites before it even hits the table read because in the animation, there is so much time to fuss with things. He says that once the writers get the green light from the show runners for an episode, they script it and then have it torn apart by writer’s room. We have a talented staff of people from top to bottom who really love the show and I think you have to have that in order for it to translate to the screen,” says Frink.įrink explains that the process of creating episodes starts with a story retreat which involves the writers presenting stories. I think we have a great show runner Al Jean who just can keep everything on track.
