This is either going to be really great, or really awful...

ay carumba.......

Just so long as the don't cancel "American Dad"!

 

Sounds about right. The show's been a zombie for some time now, and cheap gimmicks like this don't inspire confidence...although it might be the first new Simpsons material in ages I'll actually watch!

 

It really is not a big deal since Homer has already appeared on "Family Guy" a few times before.

 

They aren't canceling it, but it's moving to TBS in 2014.

 

Never was a fan of the Simpsons and the appeal of Family Guy faded years ago. Best of luck in this exciting new venture.

 

Terrific idea... But then, I worked on THE FLINTSTONES MEET THE JETSONS, which sucked.

 

Anyone else remember the Simpsons/Critic crossover? I think that was the last time the Simpsons did a crossover. They poked fun at the Flintstones/Jetsons one in that episode.

 

Flintstones/Jetsons sucked as a concept because they were both the exact same premise just in different time periods.

 

...and Family Guy on Simpsons @ 0:52

 

I, for one, welcome our new Family Guy/The Simpsons crossover.

 

Why do I see a the evil, goateed, mirror universe Spock making a cameo in this episode?

 

Sam Drucker and Ellie Mae drop in or the whole thing's lame.

 

Don't agree. Yes, both were sitcoms based on families, but they were different in quite a few ways. No "best friend sidekick" on "Jetsons", no kids for much of "Flintstones" - and the kids were older in "Jetsons" - and much more of the boss in "Jetsons".

Those are off the top of my head - there are probably other notable differences. Don't see them as the "exact same premise" any more than "Honeymooners" and "All in the Family" are the same premise...

 

Well….

Okay, I guess you're right now that you've made me think about it.

Hmph.

 

It kills you to admit I'm right, doesn't it?

I think "Jetsons" does feel like a variant on "Flintstones", but they're different enough that "Jetsons" is more than just "Flintstones in Space".

"Flintstones" was a much better series, IMO...

 

That statement could actually apply to both shows at this point, unfortunately.

 

Well I look forward to it. I still enjoy these shows.

 

Smacks of desperation.

 

Hard to argue with that, but I also think it will do huge ratings for Fox who I'm sure will promote the hell out of it.

 

So the last ish of Entertainment Weekly had a cover interview with Macfarlane and Groening where they were both blowing sweetness and light up each other's butts. I know there have been several shots taken at Family Guy on Simpsons DVD commentaries though; were none of these from Groening?
