Robert Parker, on the right, inventor of the famous 100 point wine rating scale, voiced himself. I give his performance a 100. See how he judged Andrew Lloyd Webber (on the left) The Simpsons Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The guy on the far right designed to look like Johnny LaZebnik. The animation camera adds 10 pounds. @thesimpsons

We had various designs of Burns' Vermeer, and ultimately decided the nose ring should closely resemble the original's earring.@thesimpsons

Wine Court inspired by the crazy French trial in the terrific movie Anatomy of a Fall. That movie didn't have a bored-looking courtroom cat in a turtleneck, but should have The Simpsons

My next episode of The Simpsons premieres on Feb. 12th, an original just for Disney+! Lisa travels back in time and alters the course of history!

"The Past and the Furious," an episode I wrote and was co-runner on, premieres today on Disney+! Lisa actually travels back in time, and here to kick it off is a freeze frame screen from the opening. My favorite category: "Fan Infuriators." The Simpsons

Dr. Chaplet is named for (and designed after) the character Dodo Chaplet in the 1960's Dr. Who. This is one of about two time travel Easter eggs in the show!@TheSimpsons

Sometimes for table reads we write "This is a real thing" about something in the show that people might not have heard of. The EMDR tappers are a good example -- real therapy tools. I can only assume they'll also make you time travel.The Simpsons

Lisa inhabiting the body of her ancestor Edith. I love the look of this show, directed by the hugely talented Michael Polcino. The Simpsons

Great music in this episode from the great Kara. The Simpsons

I had sweaters made for all our writers that had the "Little Moose Club" logo along with an image of one of the mini moose. So far not a single person has asked any of us what the logo is about. The Simpsons

Come on, Lisa, "Make like a petri and dish!" The Simpsons

Rough estimates of value. Tiffany lamp, if unbroken: $300,000. Baseball cards -- Honus Wagner: 7.5 million, Babe Ruth: $7,000, Ty Cobb: $504,000 The Simpsons

A lot of the lyrics of this hilarious song just poured out of Dan Castellaneta in the writers room the day we were working on it. Plus he sings it here too! The Simpsons

Love the composition of this shot, with Young Mr. Burns, Lisa, and her ancestor Edith in the mirror. The Simpsons

On this Sunday night's Simpsons we get the old band back together -- Blake Griffin, Megan Rapinoe, and brilliant travel host Rick Steves!

Just a few posts coming up about tonight's West Coast airing of "Full Heart, Empty Pool." Written by the brilliant Jeff Westbrook (he's also The Simpsons most-educated writer). Directed by the amazing Chris Clements.

Squeaky-Voiced Teen's prom-posal for the ages (and skies).

We wanted Rick Steves' dreamland to be designed in the style of proto-surrealist Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico.

Voicing Gabriel Razelton, the great Robert Smigel, legendary comedy writer and the man whose hand and voice is inside Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
