Yeah. Matt Groening owned the rights to the cartoon so she didn't have a leg to stand on.

Married and Living Color were what "launched" fox. Then Rupert Murdoch paid an asston of money for football and they became a major player.

But you're acting like the Simpsons wasn't their cash cow original programming, the show that brought them huge success.

It wasn't? Married and living color + the football contract gave them enough money to AFFORD to make episodes of the simpsons.

Animated prime-time shows hadn't been seen since the flintstones because they were so goddamned expensive to make.

Wow, this is stunning. Love to see proof. It was the biggest show on tv in the 90s, and as noted, it has survived. I wonder why that is, if it was so expensive and carried by all those other shows that died over a decade ago.
