Career[edit]

In 1989 he and writing partner Mike Reiss were hired to write for The Simpsons. Jean wrote numerous episodes including "Moaning Lisa" and "The Way We Was". Jean and Reiss served as showrunners for season 3 and season 4. In 1994 they left to create the animated series The Critic.

It was canceled after 23 produced episodes but was released on DVD and has a cult following. The two next worked for Disney and created the show Teen Angel. They occasionally returned to produce episodes of The Simpsons, such as "Simpson Tide".

He returned to the show as a writer in season 10 before becoming executive producer and showrunner again from season 13. He has remained in this position ever since. He co-wrote and produced The Simpsons Movie in 2007.
