Quote:

Nine-time Emmy winner Sam Simon, who wrote episodes of “Taxi,” “Cheers” and “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” before co-creating landmark animated series “The Simpsons” and eventually becoming a philanthropist, died Sunday of colorectal cancer at his home in Los Angeles, his reps confirmed. He was 59 and was diagnosed with terminal cancer in late 2012.

RIP Sam

I thought Matt Groeing was the sole creator of Simpsons?

*BubblyShell22* · 03-09-2015, 05:36 PM

No, Sam Simon also created them, too. It says at the end of the intro with the TV that it's created by Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Sam Simon. This is sad news, but we all saw this coming. R.I.P, Sam.

Was just about to post this myself. Very sad news indeed.

Even if he left the show at season 4 or 5, this is pretty sad news.

Also, the goddamned show outlived him.

Yeah, cancer will do that to you sadly.

the latest ep that aired this past Sunday had a very nice tribute at the end

*BubblyShell22* · 03-17-2015, 04:58 PM

Yes, it did, and that's one of the reasons I watched it. The episode was actually pretty good, too.
