I'd Be Vegetarian If Bacon Grew On

'the Simpsons' From The Very Beginning Was Based On Our Memories Of Brash '60s Sitcoms - You Had A Main Title Theme That Was Bombastic And Grabbed Your Attention - And When You Look At Tv Shows Of The 1970s And '80s, Things Got Very Mild And Toned Down And... Obsequious.

Donuts. Is There Anything They Can't Do?

I Always Say That 'futurama' Is Real, And 'the Simpsons' Is Fiction.

I Loved Literary Science Fiction. In Fact, As A Kid, When I Was Reading Science Fiction, I Thought 'i Can't Wait For The Future When The Special Effects Are Good' To Represent What Was In These Books By Arthur C. Clarke, Alfred Bester, Philip K. Dick, J.g. Ballard, Jack Vance.

I Have Less To Do With 'the Simpsons' Every Season, But I Stick My Nose In Here And There. Basically, It's Just Trying To Keep The Characters Consistent And Making Sure The Show Has A Soul.
