Regarding cherished animated series, Matt Groening seems to have his fingers on the pulse concerning what audiences want to watch. After all, the cartoonist and animator has three distinct shows — The Simpsons, Futurama and Disenchantment — which have all done well over the years despite their ups and downs. Nevertheless, fans have always viewed each sitcom as a standalone piece regardless of crossovers or Easter eggs, which shouldn’t be the case. These connections, in all actuality, bind the three series in a unique way that not only ties their worlds together but also incidentally allows them to act as a working trilogy.The idea, while farfetched on the surface, functions quite well because it adds an overarching theme that spans across each series — one that explores and poses conjectures on the misadventures of humanity through history. This thought, naturally, presents a chronological dilemma because if The Simpsons, Futurama and Disenchantment are meant to be watched as a trio, then in which order should they be viewed? The answer, luckily, lies within the series themselves.The Simpsons Season 26, Episode 6, “Simpsorama,” opened up an avenue for a connection between The Simpsons and Futurama. Within the plot, Bender is sent back to the past to murder Homer before his descendants (in this instance, rampaging bunnies that morph into Bart-looking gremlins) destroy New New York and possibly the planet. The Simpsons and the Planet Express crew, consequently, try to find a way to fix the issue without having to kill Homer (which they do). Still, it also creates a scenario where Bender has to stay in the family’s basement and go into sleep mode to rejoin his companions a thousand years later, much like he did in Futurama Season 3, Episode 19, “Roswell That Ends Well” and Season 5, “Bender’s Big Score.” Either way, the plotline obviously joins both shows, establishing that present-day Springfield exists on a version of Earth that will one day become the home of everybody’s favorite delivery crew.RELATED: The Simpsons, Futurama, & Disenchanted: Matt Groening’s Shows Share This Central Theme
