It still technically makes sense. simpsons if a fictional universe, there just happens to be a show called futurama with a charcter called bender.

There was a couch gag in which the family fell onto the couch from transportation tubs and Fry falls down with them, then quickly exits. That's my favorite. I really got a kick out of "A Star is Burns" because I love The Critic.. But I can understand why as a Simpsons episode it was somewhat cheap. Though you gotta love the Oscar Mayer Wiener number. It by no means stunk.

Huh, didnt notice them, I'll have to watch that episode over again.
But in reference to Groening on the Simpsons, I'd love to see him at least making a reference to Futurama in his show. It's better than nothing i guess...

Apparently Matt was originally supposed to be in A Bicyclops Built For Two as one of those nerds in the Internet scenes(hey, they put Eric Horsted, Ken Keeler, and David X. Cohen in there...) Yeah, they mention it on the DVD commentary. Groening used his clout to get his likeness pulled from that scene. Probably a good idea too, 'cause all us nerds would have recognised him instantly.

Matt Groening was a head in a jar in the pilot of Futurama, remember?

Originally posted by Woodbot 2.0: I think the reason they did "A Star is Burns" was for Al Jean and Mike Resis,two former producers of the Simpsons That's one of the reasons, seeing as how it was written by a writer for The Critic, Ken Keeler. (this was when they left after season three) Actually, it was after season 4. Remember, they ran the show for two seasons, 3 and 4 .

I belive James.L.Brooks was the one who came up with the idea since he was still an Executive Producer on both.
