'the Simpsons' Is An Especially Collaborative Show.

A Lot Of American Shows Don't Last For As Long As 12 Episodes. They Get Cut After One. But Certainly One Of The Great Things About The Office In Particular Was That There Was A Beginning, A Middle And An End.

I'm A Writer Who Just Happens To Draw.

We Have 'doctor Who' References On 'futurama,' But We Have A Lot Of Science Fiction References That I Don't Get; But In The Staff We Have Experts On 'star Trek,' 'star Wars,' 'doctor Who' And 'dungeons And Dragons.'

There's Always Room Out There For The Hand-drawn Image. I Personally Like The Imperfection Of Hand Drawing As Opposed To The Slick Look Of Computer Animation. But You Can Do Good Stuff Either Way. The Pixar Movies Are Amazing In What They Do, But There's Plenty Of Independent Animators Who Are Doing Really Amazing Things As Well.

'the Simpsons' Basically - And 'futurama' - Are Really Smart Shows. They're Kind Of Disguised As These Goofy Animated Sitcoms, But The References Within The Shows, If You're Paying Attention, Are Pretty Smart And Pretty Sophisticated.
