Line 55:
* [[Eccentric Townsfolk]]
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Groening's artistic vision often clashes with the executives of Fox. Still, there aren't that many scenes in both [[The Simpsons]] or [[Life in Hell]] that have been censored. Most of Fox's complaints are ignored. Groening has always been lucky that [[The Simpsons]] was so succesful, so the show was never [[Screwed By the Network]], a fate that the less popular [[Futurama]] did have to cope with.
* [[Four
* [[Free
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Very good with this!!
* [[Halfway Plot Switch]]
Line 73:
* [[Parental Bonus]]
* [[Police Are Useless]]
* [[Pun
* [[Quest for Identity]]
* [[Reference Overdosed]]
Line 84:
* [[Sphere Eyes]]
* [[Take That]]: His work pokes fun at everybody, from all kinds of the political, economical, cultural and sociological spectrum.
* [[Take That, Audience!]]
* [[Write Who You Know]]:
** Several names of characters in [[The Simpsons]] were derived from streetnames in Groening's hometown Portland, Oregon: Terwilliger, Lovejoy, Flanders, Kearney, Van Houten, Quimby, Burnside,... There is even an Evergreen Terrace!
