| ''[[Futurama]]'' was created by [[Matt Groening]], and developed jointly with [[David X. Cohen]]. Though, Groening had previously created '''''{{w|The Simpsons}}''''', 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''.
