Leonard Says: Mike Reiss

"There were two places we wanted the word "ass" in (the episode, "Homer Defined"), and the censors would only give us one ass, and it was a big debate. We put it to a vote who liked what, I think we even switched the asses in the rerun. It was literally 4 years (FOX) later put on a show called Bob's Big Ass Show"


-Former Simpsons co-showrunner Mike Reiss on the decaying standards of the Fox Network in the 90s. Post-Script: Bobcat's Big Ass Show actually aired 7 years later, in 1998. It lasted just 3 months.
