Cause and effect, chain of event's... All of it makes some sense...
I think Matt Groaning has pissed of Fox and Fox has pissed offed Matt...
Fox get's revange "cutting the life support" off futurama...
Matt get's revange , spending less time with the simpson's and making recycled simpson episodes.
I bet there is a real reason and it most likely could get solve with a simple, im sorry. I feel there's is something happening at Fox, with Murdoch and Matt. Pride might be what is causing the end with Futurama.
Just My thoughts.....
