Hey team. Here's a lamewod question that will earn me much flaming indeed. but maybe not. ok, here goes. I think I saw someone post that Scully only writes on the CABF episodes... here is my question. What do these letter stand for? Are different writers associated with different codes? Should I keep it down from now on? thanks

Oh my god YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!!! How can you come in here and not even fucking know a SIMPLE question like that. I should SHOOT you for being so gad damn STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(just kidding....)
The prod codes don't have anything to do with the producer, it's just in what season they were produced. Some prod codes cross over between seasons because thats when they were produced.

How come there were no 6F episodes
Those numbers/letters are assigned by Fox, and I believe depend on the letters of other shows produced that season
It went... 7G 7F 8F 9F 1F (I guess 0F would have looked weird) 2F 3F (3G...four episodes produced with 3F, but i believe by different producers, and aired during season 8 and 9) 4F 5F...then they switched formats or something, so they didn't have time to use 6F before it went AABF, BABF, CABF, DABF.

Just remember that order, and that it started with 7G, and that's the sector Homer works in (it's not just a coincidence). I remember when I was trying to remember how it went, I'd always get confused thinking 8F was season 8. Eventually you'll pick it up. Remembering what episode is what (like which one is 9F04 and which one is 9F09) is much much harder, and quite likely a waste of time.

Yeah. You could see it coming, couldn't you, Surly? Someone would go and do that ;) Oh, I've wasted my life.
Something that's not mentioned is that the AABF - DABF series (so far) follows HEX digits...
A = 10 (Same as Season 10) B = 11 (Same as Season 11) C = 12 (...aaaaand so on) D = 13
After FAFBxx, will it continue on through the alphabet? Probably... but the show might not last that long.

I assume because Fox was running out of p-codes (and not just for "The Simpsons," but for all Fox-produced shows). Indeed, if Fox hadn't changed the code format, they would have started repeating p-codes.
In case you're still awake, a code like CABF14 ("Trilogy of Error") breaks down like this:
C -> Season the episode was produced. For shows lucky enough to go more than nine seasons, letters are used, starting with "A" for ten. In this case, the "C" indicates this episode was produced in the 12th season. It's customary for the show to hold episodes over for the next season, which is why the first batch of shows for season 13 have p-codes starting with "C."
ABF -> Show identifier. It doesn't have any intrinsic meaning; the idea is that it's not used by any other Fox show. With three letters, Fox has hundreds of combinations to chose from, and little likelihood of two shows grabbing the same code.
14 -> Episode number. This is the order the show was produced, and not necessarily the order it's aired.
And if you're still confused, you can just call the show "Trilogy of Error" like everybody else.
