Description

I don't know how accurate this theory is, but it does have some precedent - in 1987, Matt Groening didn't want to give up the rights to his comic strip "Life in Hell", so before he met with James L. Brooks to talk about doing animation for "The Tracey Ullman Show", he created the Simpsons.

Also, once again, Kendra's opinions are not necessarily my own. I do like "American Dad"...although that has more to do with Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman than it does with Seth.

Heh, well to be fair American Dad came about when they thought Family Guy was cancelled but yeah once they hit The Cleveland Show, it was obvious Seth and his little group were just retreading with some slight tweaks here and there. Even Matt Groaning made Futurama different from the Simpsons. And much better likeable characters too.

Over the years I have been flip-flopping on if I would like to sell the rights to my characters for a show if I ever reach that point. T-Shirts and all are fine but cartoons, yeah gotta deal with executives and what have you, plus networks screwing you over on time slots. It's a shot in the dark really and relies upon a lot of luck to stay in fuction. Ultimately its up to you if it's worth the risk.
