At the hospital, Dr. Hibbert shows Bart a ward full of children who have been hurt from attempting stunts. 
-- The Simpsons, "Bart the Daredevil", Original Air Date: Dec. 6 1990

The episode was written by Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky and directed by Wes Archer. Kogen, Wolodarsky, and many other members of the Simpsons' staff were fans of Evel Knievel's stunts, and Wolodarsky named "Bart the Daredevil" as his favorite episode among the episodes that he wrote for The Simpsons, because it is "near and dear to [his] heart".

Dr. Hibbert makes his first appearance on the series in the episode. In Kogen and Wolodarsky's original script for "Bart the Daredevil", Hibbert was a woman named Julia Hibbert, who they named after comedic actress Julia Sweeney (Hibbert was her last name, through marriage, at the time). When the Fox network moved The Simpsons to prime time on Thursdays to compete against the National Broadcasting Company's (NBC) top-rated The Cosby Show, the writing staff instead decided to make Hibbert a parody of Bill Cosby's character Dr. Cliff Huxtable
