Groaning Futurama comments on Simpsons DVD

[on:]

Anyone hear the part about the inspiration for Futurama on the Simpsons season 2 DVD? Groening says that the animation was really good when the motorcylists were playing basketball. So he wanted to make a show the cartoonists wanted to animate so he made Futurama. Also in the commentary are such lines as "if you love Futurama so much why don't you marry it?"

Can you tell me which episode he says that? I got the DVDs, but I didn't even get to watch more than 3 epsiodes normally yet.

The motorcycling comment is on "Bart, the Daredevil"

The "If you love it so much why don't you marry it" is on "Dancin Homer" during the credits(although I'm not 100% positive on the episode I'm positive he says it during the credits.)

Judging by the comments it doesn't seem anyone doing the commentaries have watched Futurama, except Groening.

Matt also called Futurama "the show FOX used to like." Too true, too true.

I have a blast listening to the commentaries because I know Rich & Wes & Dave. Rich cracks me up the most. I remember him one night at Rough Draft going into a tirade of humor with one of the PAs. They were mimmicking Hollywood voices & getting into 'deep' humor. Once Rich has started, there's no off button. And there's no way of anyone popping by & leaving. You must stay till the end of the funny business. You don't want to leave. Even if you were going out on your way home. He's one in a billion.
