He was a writer on Everybody Loves Raymond for Season 8, and co-created (with Julie Thacker) The Pitts for FBC and Complete Savages for ABC.
He started his career by writing jokes for Yakov Smirnoff. He is currently co-writing and co-executive producing (with Al Jean) The Simpsons Movie.
An editorial on 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.
- "But under Scully's tenure, The Simpsons became, well, a cartoon. ... Episodes that once would have ended with Homer and Marge bicycling into the sunset (perhaps while Bart gagged in the background) now end with Homer blowing a tranquilizer dart into Marge's neck."
Quotes
- About people who criticize his years at The Simpsons: "People want everything to stay the same. I think it's easier for people to go in and just criticize and say what they hate about something, rather than find out what they like."
