An editorial on [http://www.slate.com/id/2078501/ Slate] claims ''The Simpsons'' changed from a realistic show about family life into a typical cartoon during Scully's years as executive producer of ''The Simpsons''.
+
== Credits ==
:"But under Scully's tenure, ''The Simpsons'' became, well, a cartoon. ... Episodes that once would have ended with [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] and [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] bicycling into the sunset (perhaps while [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] gagged in the background) now end with Homer blowing a tranquilizer dart into Marge's neck."
