Simpsons And Family Guy Crossover Episode

Family Guyand The Simpsons are to team-up for a crossover episode next year, it has been revealed.

Entertainment Weekly broke the news that the two long-running animated series will finally cross paths in an episode of Seth MacFarlane's show - which will be broadcast in Autumn 2014 in the US.

The Griffins will be seen going on a road trip to Springfield, where the families will apparently meet and get on well - with Marge and Lois bonding and Homer and Peter discussing beer.

Fox issued a "statement" from Peter: "Fox hasn't spent this much money since they took Simon Cowell tight T-shirt shopping."

And Homer added: "Finally I can get my hands on this guy!"

Regular Simpsons voice artists Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith and Hank Azaria will be featured in the one-off episode.
