Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, recently spoke to "The Sun" regarding his thoughts on Fox. He discussed about Futurama and its cancellation which he fully blamed on Fox. But.. according to Matt, Fox doesn't even like the Simpsons. Matt goes on to say "But they don't like The Simpsons either. The idea of a TV show that they haven't gotten their greasy fingers all over creatively drives them nuts." Matt also talks about the fact that they won an Emmy for the show and didn't even recieve a call from the people at Fox.. those bastards. "Beyond the small screen, there's also the much-rumoured Simpsons feature film, which Groening confirms he's working on. "We're talking about doing it. We just want to make sure, if we do, it doesn't follow in the dismal footsteps of other currently-running TV shows turned into movies. I can only think of one that worked and that was South Park," he says." Read the full story by Clicking Here.
