I believe MG (or someone connected with the show) summed it thus: The Simpsons is a TV show, Futurama is real. In other words, Goldfish is right - The Simpsons is a TV show in the world of Futurama (and apparently was still being produced in 3000, although of course that's just a joke). So it's not canon for Futurama characters to appear in The Simpsons world. Another, more serious reason is that the creators of Futurama are averse to crossovers, and prefer to keep the two shows seperate. Of course, this doesn't stop "Futurama" appearing on Uder's t-shirt in one of the earlier Simpsons eps, or Fry appearing in one of The Simpsons' couch gags.

Bender has a cameo at the end of "Missionary Impossible". Fry shows up in the couch gag for "HOMR". Bender has another cameo in Bart's halucination in "Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade".

Hehehe the guy from the PJs is next to him, another good show killed by Fox - well in the Uk at least (USA I dont know) Anyway he has been referenced in Futurama a few times and once Fry was in the PJs right? Which I am sure has been mentioned before.

It's odd how Bender appeared on "Bart vs. Lisa vs. the third grade" because Bart was dreaming about watching tv and using a remote control... And you say Simpsons is tv and Futurama is real (its obviously the other way around, hehe)...... I've never seen the uter shirt, but everyone talks about it And on that episode "Missionary Impossible" a lot of Fox cartoon characters are in the background, including the PJ's Guy, Hank Hill, and they make a reference to Family Guy.... One more thing.... One more ting....

Big bump, I know, but please don't get angry! I'm sure you'd rather me do this than start a new thread. I found this link: http://www.duffzone.co.uk/content.php?title=reffut Also, in one 'Simpsons' episode where the family vists a video store, you can see a 'Futurama' poster on the wall. (I can't remember the episode, though...)

I said it before and I'll say it again. I forget which episode but it was copyrighted in 1998 and the Simpons got to a science fiction convention and that little German exchange student is wearing a Futurama T-Shirt.
It's just a plain white shirt saying "Futurama" in the Futurama font. A little easter egg Matt layed in the episode to give viewers a hint of the future.
(sorry for the pun: "A little easter egg Matt layed..." )

The Simpsons is a TV show in Futurama's universe. Futurama is a TV show in the Simpsons' universe. In an infinite multiverse, all things are possible. (Shiny steeples fingers and looks serene) Xanfor said: http://www.duffzone.co.uk/content.php?title=reffut Xanfor, you rock. Thanks to that link, I have finally seen most of the things I wanted to see... now if I could just track down a pic of Fry on the milk carton, I could die happy. (The one I found searching old PEEL topics had only a dead image link... ) H. G. Blob: @ your pun.... a truly funny yolk!

Sorry, I've spent two hours searching for that. Maybe one of us should go on a PJ's forum and axe for a framegrab. (Or since it's not 'Futurama', ask)

Hey, I just took a look at Fry coming out of the tube in that 'Simpsons' couch gag... Did anyone notice that he's yellow? Or is that just the color on my end messed up?

Yeah, well, maybe I'm just not good at noticing details. You know, I wasn't a huge 'Futurama' fan until after I had been watching the show for a while (after the shippyer episodes started), and to tell you the truth, it took me three episodes to realize they weren't yellow (which probably wasn't my fault, I was watching it on a B&W TV), the same number to realize the color of Leela's hair, and four episodes to realize that Leela was a cyclops.

Well, it came on at 2 o' clock in the morning, and I stayed up to watch it. Then I decided to start recording it... Then I noticed.

Ironic that you know so much about Futurama but it took you that long to notice the colours.

Bender22, you rock! You've got that poster and many, many other references I missed. Including that Treehouse of Horror where the credits said "David 'Watch Futurama' Cohen"! Everyone, check those sites out! Examples: Look closely at this one and you'll see a picture of Homer on Bender's sash. (Click here for a full sized version: http://usuarios.lycos.es/bbrp/crossover/SF_1ACV07_1.jpg ) Look at the small heart on the wall to see 'H. S. + M. B.'. (Full sized version: http://usuarios.lycos.es/bbrp/crossover/SF_1ACV09_1.jpg ) These are only some. There are also more episode references, and many, many sights of 'Futurama' characters in the 'Simpsons' comics, and vice versa!

Yep, I could die happy now...luckily no one has asked me to recently. Anyway, thanks Bender22! (And, since I searched up&down that thread and still missed it, thanks Xanfor for putting it here!)
