And I understand this show is a unique, crazy thing, and you just have to love the paradoxes. And I'm excited when people love the new ones. He continues, 'And I'm glad people love the old shows. They all kind of happened in their imaginary world, you know, and people can choose to love whichever version they love.вЂќ It doesn't mean that the people's beloved episodes from the past didn't happen. We're just saying in this one episode, this is a silly way to present the characterвЂ™s life. вЂњI understood it, but that kind of thing is not a retcon, you know what I mean? We're not saying this is the official continuity now, and none of that other stuff happened. Referring to the Season 32 episode Do PizzaBots Dream of Electric Guitars, Selman talks about the backlash to Homer being depicted as a hip-hop loving вЂ90s kid in a flashback. Selman, it should be said, doesnвЂ™t seem to be much for continuity.

Perhaps most infamously, Selman wrote That вЂ90s Show, which moved Marge and HomerвЂ™s origin story from the 1970s to the 1990s.

I appreciate crafting a clap.' As a writer, SelmanвЂ™s credits include fanciful short stories like Simpsons Bible Stories and Simpsons Tall Tales Eight MisbehavinвЂ™, in which Apu suddenly becomes a father of eight, and Behind the Laughter, the episode that imagines the Simpsons family as real-life actors on a show resembling VH1вЂ™s Behind the Music (вЂњSome people didnвЂ™t think we should do that one,вЂќ Selman remembers). I don't know if it was under-appreciated or over-appreciated, or just quickly watched and forgotten like most things. It's just, I don't know, I thought it was good. вЂњItвЂ™s just funny to never have thought of it in 30 years, like what if Krusty actually joined the circus - this spoiled Hollywood clown has to go to a rundown, real-life circus. 'I just think, вЂOh, there's a funny idea,вЂ™вЂќ Selman says.

He points to the Season 30 episode 'Krusty the Clown,' which finds the cantankerous TV host hiding out in a low-budget circus. Even so many years after South Park joked that the Simpsons had already done every conceivable idea, Selman says heвЂ™s still able to find ways to put established characters in strange and interesting situations. If Selman feels the burden of history working on a show like The Simpsons, he doesnвЂ™t show it. He describes himself as a coach, there to give writers, animators, actors, and musicians the occasional nudge while aiding Jean in running day-to-day operations. These days Selman is the co-showrunner alongside Al Jean, a relationship he describes as 'super collaborative.' His writing days on The Simpsons largely behind him, he is currently focused on the showвЂ™s upcoming 33rd season, which among other things will include a musical episode featuring Kristen Bell, and what Selman calls a massive two-part tribute to prestige dramas like Fargo. Selman would go on to work on several of the games based on The Simpsons, including The Simpsons Game, and talks about being addicted to The Simpsons Tapped Out mobile game, amused by how one could find an вЂњuncensored, bizarre, crazy, bananas jokeвЂќ buried in one of its otherwise unassuming dialogue bubbles. His first credited episode was the Season 9 finale Natural Born Kissers - the famously racy episode that ends with a naked Marge and Homer being chased throughout Springfield. While he wasnвЂ™t around for the earliest days of the series, he had a hand in several seminal Simpsons moments. Now in its 33rd season, multiple generations of fans have grown up with the series, which Selman describes as 'the ultimate compliment.' Selman himself has been present for several of those eras. The Simpsons has been in practically every conceivable entertainment medium, from comic books to film to video games. Like the rest of the showвЂ™s ancillary material, Simpsons Hit & Run - and more recently, the crossover short featuring Loki - serve as a time capsule for a show that encompasses multiple pop culture eras.
