Via Slashdot, The Seattle Times has a great article on how an episode of The Simpsons comes together. Snippet:
Each week, it begins at the "table read" on the Fox studio lot. Here, cast members try out a new script as writers and producers take careful notes, sometimes based on the reactions of the roughly three dozen guests ringing the room in padded blue chairs.
Part assembly line and part creative gestation, it will take another nine months for the finished episode to see the light of a television screen.
And you thought putting a "Simpsons" episode together was some chaotic laugh riot thrown together in a week?
If you're a Simpsons fan, check it out.
