Fox Releases Preview of Family Guy/Simpsons Crossover Episode

Fox’s two most popular animated series may have taken shots at each other in years past, but this fall they will team up for a crossover episode.

At Comic-Con International in San Diego, Calif., Fox debuted a five-minute sneak peek of the combo episode of Family Guy and The Simpsons, set to air September 28. The preview shows leading males Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin bonding over donuts and fighting over their favorite beers, while Stewie Griffin and Bart Simpson engage in hijinks. Subtle jabs at each other’s shows abound, along with references to other Fox programs like Bob’s Burgers and the recently canceled Cleveland Show.

This will be the first of two crossovers for The Simpsons‘ 25th season. The other one, set to air in November, will meld the Springfield crew with the cast of Matt Groening‘s other cartoon creation: Futurama.
