Springfield Confidential

A fun little memoir filled with lots of great little behind-the-scenes anecdotes and also inside opinions on stories I had already heard. It was well placed and never dwelled on any one subject for too long, so I found it really easy to read through quickly.

Reiss packs a bunch of little joke asides in constantly and for the most part they are pretty funny, but one problem I had (which I'm sure Reiss would find hilarious) is that sometimes I couldn't tell if something actually happened or was just a joke. There are so many strange things that have happened on The Simpsons (such as Michael Jackson appearing as a guest star, yet bringing a voice impersonator to do his singing parts) and Reiss also throws in statements that are clearly not true for laughs (stating that a Feng Shui expert ensures the animation is in harmony before the show is aired), that when he makes an aside about something strange that I hadn't heard of before I have no idea if its true.

Anyways, I'm going to go watch some classic Simpsons episodes now.
