Of those listed who do you think was the best at running the Simpsons? I'd say it's probably a tie between Mirkin and Oakley/Weinstein.

I think Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein for me. Bill Oakley seems like a really cool guy
Well now I have a name to blame for the abomination of an episode that aired last night.
I'd call it a wet fart but even those can have some level of joy to them.
Mirkin.
Seasons 5 and 6 contain my favorite episodes ever.
Hey egghead! Sing “Fair Harvard!”
David Mirkin still works for the show. He even wrote the recent Disney+ short.
Yeah he left and came back like Al Jean.
Jean and Reiss. Season 3 is when the show really took off IMO
Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein.
Oakley and Weinstein without question. Mirkin is the only one who is even close.
Oakley & Weinstein also produced one of my favorite shows growing up in Mission Hill, so I do have a soft spot for them. Doesn't hurt that season 7 is 90% banger episodes.
Al Jean gotta go
Oakley/ Weinstein
Shout out to Matt Selman though for putting some heart back into the show
