	The Simpsons Archive: Matt Groening Interview (May-June 2001)
		Matt Groening seems oblivious to the fact that his office is a mess.
		Not only is Groening not writing "The Simpsons," he also doesn't write the show he left it to launch - the sci-fi cartoon "Futurama," which has yet to emerge from the shadow of "The Simpsons," but is adequately successful in Groening's view (it was recently picked up for a fourth season).
		Groening's relationship with the Fox network has been notoriously rocky in the past, but he says that "for the moment, it's good." There is, of course, still the occasional skirmish.

		His mission, Groening has said, was to create a sofa-centric sitcom about a typical American family and turn it upside down in retaliation for all the bad TV he watched as a kid.

		Groening was outspoken about his criticisms of Fox's business practices and its inexplicably shabby treatment of him and his new show.
