I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman. Homer Simpson

The Simpsons and Futurama are such big projects, going on for years and working in different media, that everything involved with them, promotion and merchandise and online presence and all the rest, deserve to be scrutinized, so that's part of it. I have a great deal of sympathy for anyone at the core of a multimedia juggernaut, even if you might not care for the specific pop-culture invasion of your brain. The people who do it work really hard.

Masturbation is nothing to be ashamed of. It's nothing to be particularly proud of, either.

We've got a bunch of new writers now who tell me they grew up watching The Simpsons. It's bizarre, and they're writing some very funny stuff.

'The Simpsons' is an especially collaborative show.
