With the way Al Jean wanted to roll the series back to the season 4 status Quo Come again? He reversed the Skinner Edna relationship, he got the Van Houtens back together, how he down played Apu's kids he just kinda didn't care about the small lore the Simpsons created after he left to do the Critic |

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

Ya know, that somehow never occurred to me. I actually don't hate the Van Houtens being a couple again as there were only so many "LOL Kirk is a mess" jokes to make. |

Not a returning character but I’d like an episode where Wendell actually did something.

Really surprised Mrs. Botz wasn’t used again. I guess once they had Sideshow Bob, the kids didn’t need another villain.

Karl from the episode where Homer grows his hair back. Great character. I know his actor Harvey Fierstein was asked back at one point but he thought the writing had declined. He was right |

He was right He just didn't like being the token homosexual. He was asked to come back for "Three Gays of the Condo". He said it felt like they asked him to do it to endorse the plot as being ok, which he wasn't willingly to do. |

I know he only existed to poke fun at the "add new characters to spice up the show" trope, but I'm kinda surprised they've never had Roy come back. |
