So wait, will it count as a Simpsons episode or a Family Guy episode? Or will it be first half Simpsons seamlessly leading into second half Family Guy?I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
As someone who actually still enjoys Family Guy and The Simpsons I am looking forward to it.
No clue. Hopefully more news comes out later this week or around the time the episode airs.

They've actually devoted a handful of episodes in recent years covering the Lisa-Milhouse dynamic (the best being Homer Scissorhands) so it's not as off-putting an idea as it may have been during the classic era when it was clearly just Milhouse's unrequited crush.
Given the alternatives being Nelson, Ralph or a litany of endless celebrity guest star voices (we get enough of that with Bart), I don't mind the pairing. Hell, Milhouse was barely in Holidays of Future Passed; that subplot revolved entirely around Lisa's relationship with her daughter.
My understanding is that it's an hour-long Family Guy episode. There's a 30-minute Simpsons episode ('Clown in the Dumps', the Season 26 premiere) airing at 8pm that night.
Incidentally, this will be the ep they've overhyped where they kill off an Emmy-award winning character... most likely Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky or Princess Penelope.
I hope the Simpsons team takes on a couple of Futurama writers for that one.

wait wat, only now? I thought they became one show many seasons ago.I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, I noticed that too. I think it started around season 18 or 19 where these rapid fire non-sequitur manatee jokes started appearing in episodes.

They didn't need to take on anyone new. They've already got J. Stewart Burns on staff. He wrote such noteworthy Futurama episodes as Roswell that Ends Well (the ep where Fry becomes his own grandfather), My Three Suns (the ep where Fry drinks that one planet's emperor and is declared their new leader) and a number of others. Rest assured that the Futurama characters will be written faithfully.
Perfect, those are some of my favorite Futarama episodes. He also seems to be the head writer for the cross-over.

I'm at work laughing like an idiot at this. My coworkers came over to see what was so funny. They still think I'm an idiot.

What episode is that from? I think it's from Season 2 or 3 where they changed animation houses. The When Flanders Failed (leftorium episode) from season 3 has a TON of mistakes from the Korean studio using new hires.

This is straight up my favorite moment in Simpsons History.

Funniest moment for me. I always giggle just thinking about it.
Homey the Clown could be the funniest episode of all time.

Scenes from a Class Struggle in Springfield
I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it.
And look, there's Magnetbox and Sorny.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Those are all superior machines.
But if you like to watch your TV, and I mean really watch it you want the Carnival�.
It features two-pronged wall plug, pre-molded hand-grip well durable outer casing to prevent fall-apart.
Sold! You wrap it up, I'll start bringing in the pennies.
Mr. Burns: Who is that lavatory links man, Smithers?
Smithers: Homer Simpson, sir. One of the fork and spoon operators from sector 7-G.
Mr. Burns: Well, he's certainly got a loose waggle. Perhaps I've finally found a golfer worthy of a match with Monty Burns, eh?
Smithers: His waggle is no match for yours, sir. I've never seen you lose a game. Except for that one in '74 when you let Richard Nixon win. That was very kind of you, sir.
Mr. Burns: Oh, he just looked so forlorn, Smithers, with his (imitating Nixon) "Oh, I can't go to prison, Monty. They'll eat me alive!" (Smithers laughs) I wonder if this Homer Nixon is any relation?
Smithers: Unlikely, sir. They spell and pronounce their names differently.
Mr. Burns: Bah! Schedule a game and I'll ask him myself.

To this day I still use Panaphonics and Sorny.
It's cool to watch old episodes on DVD and notice all the little scenes cut for syndication because they were something like 10 seconds too long. My favorite one is in that episode where Bart becomes a Boy Scout after a night of drinking a Super Squishee and the joke is he wakes up and finds out he joined the Scouts and he say's something to the effect of "Boy, that drink makes you do crazy stuff." and it cuts to Barney waking up in a Sailor's outfit on a submarine saying "Uh oh!"

Haha... I always find this weird because I don't think I've never seen an episode cut for syndication. For some reason or other, they always showed the full episodes here in New Zealand, as far as I can tell.

Well, that's disappointing. I was hoping from the way you worded it, that it would be something related to this.

Seems like that's still open speculation seeing how that episode title also hints at the potential death of other Emmy-award winning Simpsons characters like Hyman Krustofsky, Princess Penelope... and I wouldn't even put Sideshow Mel out of the running quite yet.
We've known about the 'Clown in the Dumps' title for a while now. I've even shared it in this thread.
Main reason I've always discounted the logical possibility of it actually being Krusty is that they've already "killed" him off once before in Season 7's Bart the Fink.
... Well... Why bother keeping the show going then? It should just end after the Futurama Crossover.
That has never stopped the writers from rehashing old ideas.

Krusty already died once. He can't die again. That's crying wolf and no one will believe it.

This whole sequence is perfect. Not laugh-out-loud funny, but it nails the feeling of warm comfort and long lie-ins on a winter's day.
