Futurama Season 11 Revives Connection To 46-Year-Old Matt Groening Classic (Before The Simpsons)

Futurama is no stranger to having references to The Simpsons, but season 11 actually revives a connection to an even older 46-year-old Matt Groening classic. Although Groening is most famous for his work on The Simpsons, the beloved animated sitcom actually wasn’t his first project. Due to the popularity of The Simpsons, Groening’s other projects like Futurama and Disenchantment often focus their Easter eggs on Homer, Bart, and the rest of Springfield’s references. Luckily, Futurama season 11 has shown that it didn’t forget about another one of Matt Groening’s classics, with the series pulling from an even older source.
