12 Great Simpsons Episodes You'll Never Own (Thanks To Fox)

The best Simpsons crossover of the past decade (sorry, Family Guy), Simpsorama from Season 26 sees the crew of the Planet Express ship visit the world of The Simpsons in a fitting send-off to Matt Groening's "other" series.

Futurama was the little show that could, coming back from cancellation with a series of TV movies and new episodes, and over the years it proved to be a witty, sharp little animated comedy. That's not surprising given its origin, but what is surprising is that Bender and company fit in as well into The Simpsons as they do, given that the shows really weren't that much alike.

In an episode inspired by The Terminator, Bender goes back in time to kill Homer in Simpsorama, to prevent destruction unintentionally wrought by Bart in the future - only to find that he can't kill him, because they have become friends.

This one could eventually get at least a standalone release, but don't get your hopes up.
