Futurama was created by Matt Groening, and developed jointly with David X. Cohen. Though, Groening had previously created , the most popular and long running animated sitcom ever. Thus, it is only natural that Futurama would include references to The Simpsons occasionally within the show (not to mention, owning the copyright means not having to license material). The Simpsons, too, has referenced Futurama many times. Following is a complete list of connections between Futurama and The Simpsons.
