Family Guy is heading to Springfield
Written by . Published: July 20 2013
The cast of Family Guy will come face-to-face with animated rivals The Simpsons in a special crossover episode next year (14).
The highly-anticipated link will take place on Family Guy, with Seth McFarlane's dysfunctional Griffin family heading to Springfield and becoming friendly with Matt Groening's cartoon clan.
A mock statement from Family Guy patriarch Peter Griffin reads,
"Fox (network) hasn't spent this much money since they took Simon
Cowell tight t-shirt shopping."
Both cartoons boast a huge fanbase, with Family Guy in its 11th
season, while The Simpsons holds the record for longest-running
scripted show after 25 series.
The collaborative episode will air on Fox in autumn 2014.
