    Why The Simpsons references?

    As you know, there are numerous references to The Simpsons in Stargate-SG1... some of these references are downright disproportional and almost seem like a type of oral product placement -- such as in "The Lost City (Part 1)"! Now, at the risk of getting into a chicken-and-egg cycle, how did all of this start?

    Was Richard Dean Anderson a fan of The Simpsons to begin with? Or, is this a wink and a nod way to thank The Simpsons for Patty & Selma's RDA obsession? Or does it originate from somewhere else entirely? The "Burns as Goa'uld" conversation had me laughing SO much, it was one of those slightly surreal conversations like those found in Quentin Tarantino movies that *really* makes ya think. Ya think??

    So, what's the story behind this?

        there's actually a thread somewhere around here discussing the possiblity of a sg1/simpsons crossover.

        that would be very cool.

          I saw some of those simpGate SG-1 screen shots, those were very well-drawn and true to form! Who did them? Kudos to whoever did as I really, really enjoyed them... they made me laugh so hard.

            Plus I think with RDA having a huge part (not an innuendo), it'd be wrong for him not to mention the Simpsons, after all the MacGuyver references made by Patti and Selma... Now where was I? Ahh yes! You place the donut *infront* of the coathanger to make a small Naquidah reactor...

                              They also make alot of Star Wars references. I like all references.
