Comic-Con News: There is about to be a massive collision in the pop culture universe as the worlds of The Simpsons and Family Guy collide in an episode of Seth MacFarlane’s show that will be titled "The Simpsons Guy."  Both shows are key parts of Fox’s popular Sunday night Animation Domination block, so what’s the big deal?  Well The Simpsons had been going strong for over a decade before Family Guy started and there was quite a rivalry between the two shows at first, with the creators of both shows taking shots at the other.  But the rivalry has cooled in recent years, at least enough to allow a crossover between America’s two most popular animated families.
 
According to Entertainment Weekly Simpsons cast members Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Yeardley Smith, and Hank Azaria will all bring their vocal talents to an episode of Family Guy in which the Griffins take a road trip to Springfield and meet up with the Simpsons.  Expect a serious discussion of which is the better beer, Pawtucket or Duff?
 
With its 25th season slated to start in the fall The Simpsons continues to be a merchandising powerhouse with a wide range of products include the new Simpsons celebrity figures from NECA (see "New 'Simpsons Celebrity Figures' Revealed").
