I'll be interested to see how this turns out.

Interesting that Seth MacFarlane would agree to this considering that The Simpsons outright accused him of plagiarism on their show.

Another crossover? Maybe it'll be a little more tasteful.

Didn't Seth do a guest voice on a Simpsons episode last season?

Troy Stiffler

That was dark!

I guess since this isn't a James L. Brooks show, Groening is cool with it this time.

Interested to see this sort of. I'm not the biggest fan of newer Family Guy but it has moments and I still love The Simpsons.

Tracer Bullet

....wow.

boc4ever

I'll be watching!

Surprised Groening would agree, hasn't he been pretty down on FG in the past?

Deftones

does he even have any control over the show anymore? i thought he was basically an exec. producer in name only at this point.

The way this could work is if they make a parody of Wife Swap.

Toddarino

This could be the only "Simpsons" episode I never watch.

Well ,then you have nothing to worry about since it's going to be an episode of Family Guy.

If their animation is the same as its been in the past with prior Simpsons characters (the video clip that was posted above along with Homer's cameo in an episode last year), then it may be a difficult watch for a full episode. They feel cheapened with they MacFarlane-ize them while trying to maintain their traditional look.
My first post was in jest, but Groening isn't involved in the capacity to put his foot down. He didn't even have enough say back in the early 90s to nix Season 6's "A Star Is Burns" (although he had his name removed from the episode entirely), which he was vocally against at the time (even though the crossover was with The Critic, a show that had former Simpsons writing staff and was created by James L. Brooks - a guy who helped get The Simpsons on TV).

The only animators that are "down" on Family Guy are Trey Parker & Matt Stone, which they of course lampooned a few years ago.

Toddarino

Which is why Simpsons was in quotations. I read the first post.

Update! Five minutes of footage from Simpsons/Family Guy Crossover:

http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/07/26/si...episode-video/

Have to go to the link above to watch it, but it includes a good bit of material from the episode. I wasn't sure about this when it was first announced, but that footage is very promising and I'm really looking forward to this now. I like the self-references and parodies they showed in the footage and as long as they keep it light and tongue-in-cheek it should be a lot of fun. The animation looks great as well. There's also cameos from Bob Belcher and Cleveland Brown (seen in the above footage), but no news of Stan Smith showing up.

Set to air in September. Also looking forward to the long-awaited Simpsons/Futurama crossover that I think is going to air in November.

Deftones

i watched about half. some good stuff in there. i don't want to watch anymore and spoil it.

Throwing Copper

I haven't watched either show in a few years, but I will definitely check this out.

Loved what Stewie said to Moe on the prank call.

PatD

Oh, that's a brilliant amalgamation of both shows showing off both their strengths and contrasting what makes them different. I'm stoked.

PhantomStranger

I presume this is to get more exposure for each show to the other's fan base.

mhg83

I'm assuming Stewie is the one to fix the time machine?

Jason

Yeah, I feel like I watched the whole thing in that clip. Started out a little lame, but finished very strong. Looking forward to the whole thing, and to the Futurama crossover.

Embedded for the lazy.
