The Simpsons producer apologizes to fans for killing off long-running character... while defending...

One of The Simpson's core creative team is offering a mixed response to upset fans after the series shockingly killed off one of its oldest characters on Sunday.

Tim Long, co-executive producer on The Simpsons, apologized to fans for killing off Larry the Barfly on the April 21 episode, but also defended the emotional impact to TMZ on Thursday But the producer was also heartened that the show meant so much to its fans that they could have that strong of an emotional reaction.

However, he urged upset fans to keep things in perspective, as The Simpsons didn't kill off any of its main characters, or even a popular minor character. Larry the Barfly's first appearance on the series was on the Christmas-themed debut episode Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire. Larry the Barfly debuted on the show in December 1989 — almost 35 years ago — in the series premiere, the Christmas-themed Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire; pictured in season nine
