Mike Scully's Response to Fan Criticism

In response to the criticism from this one online article, Mike Scully wrote to Wikipedia on July 15, 2007 with the following statement:

"I feel very proud and lucky to be associated with a high quality show like "The Simpsons." I'd be lying if I said there weren't a few episodes produced under my tenure that I'd love to have a second crack at (every showrunner feels this at one time or another), but the uninformed opinions of 20 people who have nothing better to do with their evenings than exchange angry postings over the quality of a singular episode of a TV series are of very little concern to me. I continue to find the show very funny and better-written than most anything on television, a truly astounding accomplishment after 400 episodes."

He should be concerned about the Fans opinions about the quality of the episodes seeing as these are the people who are loyal fans to the show and keeping him in his job.

Well of course he does; he clearly has no sense of humour.
