But Matt Groening also said this about Fox ordering another season:
"If not, onto bigger and better networks."
Sounds promising to me, I'd rather the show continued, even if it does have a different team working on it.

I'd really like if Matt had the ruthlessness to say to FOX: "screw you, if you don't renew Futurama I'm pulling the plug on Simpsons, right here, right now".
But, I read somewhere that Matt doesn't like doing business that way, it's not his style. That guy is just too nice.

I think that Matt is smart and if Fox don't want to make Futurama he will find another network to do it. We have to remind that he has a great influence in the television business.

I have noticed that Matt seemed to be getting tired of doing the Simpsons within the last few years and I am not surprised that he is thinking of stopping production of the show. I mean you can't blame him, he's been doing it since 1989, (since 1987 counting the Tracy Ullman Show Shorts). He must be bored of the show by now. The other dilema for him though is Futurama. This has got to be depresssing to him. He wants to end The Simpsons, but FOX wants to keep it on the air, and he wants to keep Futurama on the air, but FOX wants to cancel it. Also, The Simpsons is signed by FOX to make episodes until Season 15 (they are currently in Season 13). If they end the show when their contract's up, that won't be until at least 2004 so even if they do pull the plug on the show, it will have two good years left on the air. That's plenty of time to tie up loose ends and all. Also, by then, all Simpsons fans may be tired of the show anyway, that is if they aren't already.

Matt should goto Cartoon Network. Great Ads, shows are treated well, and The Adult Run would be a perfect place for it. But What I was thinking was this: I thought I read somewhere that the animaters from Rough Draft Studios were going on to do a project at Cartoon Network.. so If Matt went to CN then He would have a better chance at getting the original Animaters back! Then he'd just have to worry about the writers...
