The Family Guy Simpsons Crossover - The episode was first announced by Fox in July 2013 to premiere in the fall of 2014. In May 2014, Fox presented two clips from the episode at their annual upfront presentation. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly about the episode, Seth MacFarlane stated that the key to a good crossover episode is really about the character interaction. People want to see Peter interact with Homer. They want to see Bart interact with Stewie. In a way, the story in a crossover episode, while it has to be there, is never quite as important as how the characters interact with each other.” Matt Groening added, In this case, its two really vivid shows and seeing what they can do together. You want to see them having a good time and you want to see Peter Griffin and Homer Simpson duke it out.\r

The idea of a crossover with The Simpsons was first suggested while the thirteenth season of Family Guy was being planned out. Executive producer Richard Appel received MacFarlanes blessing and input after brainstorming ideas. Groening, James L. Brooks and Al Jean also gave their approval since Appel had been a writer-producer on The Simpsons for four seasons. Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith and Hank Azaria guest star as their Simpsons characters, but Harry Shearer, the final main cast member of The Simpsons, was unavailable. When Appel expressed his concern about the length of the episode after the table read, MacFarlane said that Fox would be happy to make it an hour long. Supervising director Peter Shin, a former layout artist on The Simpsons, spent time adjusting the Griffins to the specifications of Springfield – such as dimming the whites of their eyeballs so they wouldnt look too bright – and animating the eight-minute fight between Peter and Homer. Appel said there are no plans to do a sequel to the episode, but stated that by season 43 of The Simpsons and season 27 of Family Guy, someone whos looking at a blank board is going to say, Well, the Griffins went to Springfield. what if the Simpsons went to Quahog? And more heads will explode at Fox.\r
