Fans of The Simpsons will know Mike Scully. Whether they think of him with high regard may be another issue, given he was responsible for the seasons of The Simpsons that many people consider the worst. Al Jean is in, and Scully is out, moving onto other projects. If you’d like to know what he’s up to these days, stay tuned to Fox this Sunday, because following Malcolm In The Middle at 9:30pm is a show titled “The Pitts”, created by the husband-and-wife team of Mike Scully and Julie Thacker — another Simpsons writer. Scully tells TV Guide “It’s a live action show, but cartoony in some aspects. It’s really designed for the Simpsons audience”. Thanks for thinking of us, but the show has already sparked the kind of press forseeing that it will live up to its namesake: MyInKy.com says “It’s odd that they’ve created a series The Simpsons would have a heyday mocking”. We’ll see what viewers think after the pilot, this Sunday on Fox.
