Matt Groening

This guy is the greatest he originally started of with a comic strip called Life in Hell it was so great that one day James L.Brooks gave him a chance to create something for the Tracey Ullman Show and he did he created The Simpsons and that became a huge sucess that soon in 1989 The Simpsons had their own TV Show that became a sucess as well and in 1999 he created another show Futurama and that was one of the greatest shows on earth second to the simpsons it sadly got cancelled it 2003 but luckily it'll come back in 2008 but that is a long time and The Simpsons are all ready gone downhill but it'll have a movie in 2007 hopefully but still he is one of the greatest cartoonists.

Matt Groening used to be my favorite cartoon writer. I loved The Simpsons so much. Sadly the show has gone down hill. If I see an older episode it just makes me sad now to see how good The Simpsons once was. Homer hogs the show now and his IQ has declined. Peter Griffin is event smarter. Marge always wines about her problems as dose Lisa. The only charater that still is any good is Bart.The Simpsons are dead to me and so is Matt Groening. Matt you really need to put The Simpsons out of its yellow misery. I lhave moved on to Family Guy.

Back in the day, this would have been a 10/10! But sadly, the show has been declining. They just didn't know when to pull out. The show peaked during the late 90s, but since 2000 it has been on a downhill slope getting worse with every season. The plots are dull and don't seem to go anywhere filled with awful jokes.



The jokes themselves are no longer original, but rather just follow the formula of older jokes and are written poorly. The voicework is still good, its just annoying seeing the same old jokes over and over. Homer is fat, Bart is dumb, Moe suicidal etc. Nothing is original anymore. And the wit is no longer there either.



The show was good in its prime, but it has taken a huge fall. The movie coming out doesn't help anything.

This man can be called the most influential person in all of cartoon history as he created the simpsons, single handedly one of the funniest and most influential shows ever created. He showed the world that it was ok to have adult themes in cartoons... and then he left the show that made him famous for another show, Futurama, that deserved the attention that the Simpsons earned, but never did quite get to that stature. Now he continues to work his magic in new Futurama episodes I believe. Overall, a genius man who deserves nothing more than an A+. 10/10 A+

This man is a cartoon genius. He made both the Simpsons, my all time favorite cartoon, and Futurama, which is second only to The Simpsons. Judging from some of the commentaries I have heard he seems to be a nice guy to work for and really loves his job making these two shows. He's like my idol in making cartoons, I want to make a cartoon in the future and have it be as popular as Simpsons and Futurama. A nice man, I hope to someday meet with Mr. Matt Groening, so we can talk about Simpsons stuff all the time!

Matt Groening created The Simpsons. Matt Groening created Futurama. The Simpsons is one of the greatest shows ever. Furturama is one of the greatest shows ever. Because of this Simpsons fact Matt Groening is one of the all-time greats. Because of this Furturama fact Matt Groening is one of the all-time greats. OK, I'm trying to make this review as long as possible to make it 100 words long, so let me just sum him up in one phrase: Matt Groening is a god of comedy because he is the creator of two incredible shows I love: The Simpsons and Futurama.

Woah, that was 101 words!

I mean, this is the guy who created The Simpsons and Futurama, the two best shows ever made. What more can I say? The man is a genius. His shows have always been so hilarious, so original, and so unique. He's also created some of the most memorable characters in television history. Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Marge Simpson, Lisa Simpson, Montgomery Burns, Krusty the Clown, Barney Gumble, Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, Phillip J. Fry, Turanga Leela, Bender Rodríguez, Professor Farnsworth, Dr. Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan, the list goes on and on. Many people like Seth MacFarlane or Butch Hartman have attempted to copy the TV king. Give it up guys. You'll never be Matt Groening.

Matt Groening is a brilliant man. He created The Simpsons! That show has gone on to produce 19-plus seasons of episodes. I'll admit, I don't like the newer episodes neraly as much as the stuff in the 90's, but I'll cut him some slack, because it's hard to stay on top forever. It's not even all his fault. What was his fault, in a good way, is the creation of all The Simpsons characters that many know and love. The only reason I don't give him a 10, is because I'm not a fan of any of his other stuff. Futurama is a terrible show! I'm also not familiar with any of his other stuff, which did not cost him the -0.1.

Groening was born on February 15, 1954 in Portland, Oregon USA. He grew up in Portland,the middle child of five children. His mother, Margaret Wiggum, was once a teacher, and his father, Homer Philip Groening, was a filmmaker, advertiser, writer and cartoonist. Groening storyboarded and scripted every short (now known as The Simpsons shorts), which were then animated by a team including David Silverman and Wes Archer, both of whom would later become directors on the series. The shorts premiered on The Tracey Ullman show on April 19, 1987.



He is my hero. he has influenced my style to. He's a great cartoonist. You can't help but love him and his style of comedy.

Matt Groening is a legend without him we would of never had the classic show The Simpson's. Matt Groening also appeared in The Simpson's Game trying to beat Homer and Bart with Groening getting help with Futurama's Bender i was glad to see Groening in the game. This man is better them those lame creators of Family Guy

Matt Groening was born Matthew Abram Groening on February 15, 1954 in Portland, Oregon to Homer and Margaret Groening. He also has two sisters Lisa and Maggie Groening. In the mid '80s, he launched a well-known comic strip called Life In Hell. In 1987, he married Deborah Caplan, they have two sons: Homer(born 1991) and Abe(1993). On 1988, he and James L. Brooks launced The Simpsons on The Tracy Ullman Show as a short sketch. Matt says his name is pronounced like "graining", and not "groaning". In 1999, he created another popular animated program called Futurama. That same year, he divorced his wife Deborah Caplan. Matt says he took Bart Simpson's first name from "brat", what Matt considered himself like. Matt and Bart are also left-handed. I think Mat Groening came up with an awesome idea for people to love and watch.

Matt Groening writes The Simpsons and comics. He also created The Simpsons Movie. He is also a creator of Futurama. This guy loves to create The Simpsons. If you like Matt Groening, you will love The Simpsons.

Giving him a 10 may still be a bit high. He did indeed create my all-time favorite show The Simpsons, but he doesn't do much with the show anymore. He makes MILLIONS of dollars a year I'm sure, but he doesn't do much on the show anymore. He's written only a few episodes, and isn't that involved with the show. He does DVD commentaries, though, which is cool. Matt Groening is still definitely the man. Just for creating The Simpsons and Futurama alone make him the best cartoonist of all-time. He knows what funny and creative is, and that's what makes him so kick ass.

Obviousally, since Im a HUGE Simpsons fan and a big Futurama fan, I have to like Matt Groening. Even if he hadn't created two of the best shows ever made, I'd prouble still like him. It seems to me from interviews he has a funny "can do" attitude and he seems pretty cool. I'd love to meet him and I cant wait to see what show he will come up with next!

Matt Groening is of the smartest men ever.I say that because he created my favorite show of all time "The Simpsons".The show is based on his family's name except bart matt was going to name bart actually after himself but it would be too obvious calling him matt.Matt Groening made up the town springfield because there are so many Springfield's in America, so he just made it up.

If there is a God, and the Jews are right-Gods son has not yet landed-then Matt is the Jesus we've all been waiting for! The mega genius behind THE SIMPSONS and FUTURAMA he has delighted audiences again and again and again, and in an act bringing this one viewers Christmas early, made a season 19 of THE SIMPSONS. In one example of his incredible genius he made up THE SIMPSONS on the spot after five minutes before a pitching of a life in hell comic. He named them after members of his own family, substituting Bart for his own name( It's an anagram for brat). In closing, Matt Groening is living proof that a man is only as good as his tv shows-a godsend.

Matt Groening is the creator of the Simpsons, he is simply awesome, I am excited about the new movie, and I think that he is one of the best cartoon creators ever, The Simpsons, what would life be like on the 90's without them? I think that Matt Groening is simply one of the best writers and creators ever. Very original!

matt groening is undoubtedly the greatest writer of all time he has the power to make us laugh and cry all in the space of 22 miutes! He has been working on the simpsons for over one and a half decades! and he is still funny. One of his other succeses was futurama a sitcom set in the year 3000 but unfortunatley matt stopped writing this in 2004(ish) much to my (and others) dispair. Matt hides a lot of subliminal messages and hidden gags in his episodes to give the fans that extra little kick. And is also well known for being able to get the celebrity community involved in the cast people from Ricky gervais (Extras, The Office), Mick jagger (Rolling stones front man), tony blair (British prime minister) and Leonard nemoy (Spock!)

This guy...is my inspiration! He is magnificent and the best creator on the whole planet IMO. He made 2 fantastic shows. "The Simpsons" and "Futurama", two of my favourite shows that are definitely classics! Why wouldn't I be giving this brilliant man a 10? He gave me the fun and laughter of Homer saying "Doh!" and even Bender saying "Bite my shiny metal ass!" There are many great creators out there, but none quite like him.



Overall, he is the best creator EVER!

Matt Groening made two of my favorite shows. He made The Simpsons and Futurama. There both animated. The Simpsons is a classic. It is over 18 years old and there still making it. It came out in 1989. One of the characters is Homer and Matt Groening's initials are in every picture of Homer. His hair is the "M" and his ear is the "G". Futurama takes place in the year 3000. It is a sweet show. It was on for 5 years, 2000 - 2005. Matt Groening is a genius. He is a legend in the cartoon business. I hope he invents a new show, that would be sweet. The Simpsons and Futurama aren't just shows, they also make comics, posters, video games, board games, toys etc... The Simpsons is probably the most popular cartoon/comedy show. Matt Groening is a really good drawer too. If I could have one word to describe Matt, it would be GENIUS.



I give this person a 10 out of 10.

Matt he’s my favorite he my favorite he created two favorite TV shows of mind he said in one of his books he not great artists but I think he is his drawing on the Tracy Ulman Show may of not been good but they are know every one will always remember the Simpsons because he’s the only one who made his characters yellow he’s creative because know no one could copy his characters because they were yellow so Matt is a great creator of both of his popular shows and I will never forget him. . .

When I watch his shows, especially Futurama, I was like WHOA this guy is awsome! Put this guy and his crew on the top of the list as one of the greatest people in Hollywood and the world today, I mean he knows how funny is all about every time he writes.

He is so talented. The Simpsons was my favorite show, untill Futurama, I can't decide wich show I like better!

Matt Groening is smart, talented, and a great creator. Oh, and Fox, BRING IT BACK! (Futurama) Matt is Wonderful! What a talented man! Definately perfect. He gets a good rating and so dose both of his shows. Wich is better to you? Simpsons or Futurama, I say both. What an amazing guy. I wish I could make up good shows, and be that talented at something. An A+ to me, and I tracked him, too! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

I love every show his ever made. I love Simpsons and Futurama. I love his animation its great and to comedy is so out there which makes it funny. I dont know how he based the simpsons on his family because then his family most of been very weird but other then that his the best creator ever made.

Whenever I hear the name Matt Groening i get all happy. He created my favorite show, futurama, and my second favorite show the Simpsons. And his shows are so amazing. Not only is the animation good but the humor is very different to animated comedy shows. Every episode i see in both shows, well i really dont know whats going to happen next. And the Simpsons, Well going for 17 years and still hasn't lost its comedy, thats amazing. This guy is a legend!

Matt Groening is a very comedic and creaive writer and came up with my two favourite cartoons of all time, the Simpsons with the low IQ Homer Jay Simpson and Futurama with the alcohol-fueled robot Bender Bending Rodriguez.



I rated both of the brilliant shows 10 because that's what they deserve for making me explode with laughter.



My favourite of the two would be Futurama but The Simpsons is the most impressive with a large variety of brilliant characters suchas incopetent police chief, Clancy Wiggum, the Simpson lawyer, Lionel Hutz and later Gil and even the hilbilly, Cletus the slack jawed yokel.



Futurama was sadly cancelled. Don't let the same thing happen to The Simpsons. Matt Groening is a true creative genius.

I thank this guy so much for bringing two great shows called futurama and the simpsons. I realy hope he brings back Futurama. Futurama is only a little bit behind the simpsons. Whats amazing is that it didnt take that long to create the best cartoon called the simpsons! I hope he brings more joy to me and many other people with his great cartoons. I also hope he makes life in hell a show.

Matt Groening is brilliant, he is a danged genius! I love The Simpsons! I hope he keeps on going for many seasons in the future! I don't know what I'd do if it weren't for the simpsons. I also love Futurama, it is a great show that is nothing like The Simpsons. I would watch just about anything that this man came up with. Pleasse bring back Futurama!

Thankyou Mr Groening without you my life would have one massive hole in it!



The Simpsons and Futurama are a couple of absolute masterpieces. He's been making Simpsons episodes for 17 seasons and although there are a lot of critics out there many more people would be disappointed if he had stopped making new episodes.



I for one am very grateful that he is still hard at work on the Simpsons. What would be perfect would be if once he is done with the Simpsons he makes a comeback for Futurana.
