I honestly don't think it will happen for a good few years to come.

MG is a clever man...

FOX (and everyone else) is still making a LOT of cash from The Simpsons and all that comes with it.

I reckon this is just a tool to get Futurama back on track (and I don't have the words to describe how good I think this new prog is!). Simpsons will not go in the near future....it's Futurama that Matt is "sponsoring" with his recent comments.

And, let's face it, Simpsons has saved FOX (and "not for the first time"!!!).

Intersting viewpoint. I don't think anyone has brought up that aspect in here...

Also note MG's sly remark that threatening to leave Fox "isn't his style," as if the suggestion made here is... it's a nice theory, and I wholeheartedly embrace it becase, and only becase, it is about letting Futurama live on... :)
