Matt Groening Quotes

Without doubt, the most mathematically sophisticated television show in the history of primetime broadcasting is 'The Simpsons'.

'South Park' is so hilarious... I remember when it first came out: that show changed television forever.

We've got a bunch of new writers now who tell me they grew up watching The Simpsons. It's bizarre, and they're writing some very funny stuff.

I've always been a fan of 'Black-ish.'

Yes, I loved MASH. As we are sitting here now talking, it's playing somewhere in the world.

It's kind of low brow, but the show 'Bob's Burgers' is hilarious, and being from the Midwest, I can kind of relate to a lot of the jokes. 'Orange is The New Black' is a Netflix Exclusive, I think - that's really funny.

I like 'The Simpsons' quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It's great.

'The Simpsons' money got bigger and bigger. When I left 'The Simpsons', no one thought that this thing was going to still be around. It's the cumulative effect. It's like, 'Oh my God, 25 years later, and it's still coming in.'

I love the show 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia;' that's probably a guilty pleasure! I laugh so hard.

But I'm kind of spoilt when it comes to comedy. I was on 'Friends', which was one of the funniest things on television.

'The Simpsons' obviously is a huge success, and Fox has nothing to do with its success, with its creative success, and as a result they don't really like the show. They don't like 'The Simpsons' at Fox.

'Mama's Family' was kind of like everyone's guilty pleasure.

Anything to do with 'The Office' I would revisit.

I love me some 'Family Guy.'

'30 Rock' is one of the best things on TV, I think.

I love 'Archer.' That's one of the best-written shows out there.

I think 'Mrs. Brown's Boys' in particular is very good, though I do find that perhaps the language is a bit strong for a family, but it is very popular, and I think it's very funny.

I'm a big 'Cosby Show' fan.

Through eight years, 'How I Met Your Mother' has mastered the art of leading-edge comedy, emotional water-cooler moments, and pop culture catch-phrases.

White people loved 'The Cosby Show,' especially liberal white people. They loved it because it was a great, funny, well - written, and beautifully performed television show.

But the main thing I don't want to be is un-funny. That's really the mandate. Just whatever we're doing, make it as funny as we can possibly make it. And believe me, if the show starts going down, we'll introduce a baby. We'll do everything that they did on 'Family Ties.' I'm not afraid of that.

'The Simpsons' is like Charlie Parker or Marlon Brando or Richard Pryor: Comedy couldn't go back to the way it was after 'The Simpsons' came out.

I think 'Girls' is pretty brilliant.

If you put me in 'South Park,' that audience is going to fall asleep in five minutes.

We're blessed on 'How I Met Your Mother' to feel like we're doing a bit of a funny playlet everyday.
