Matt Groening: Netflix's support for Disenchantment is night and day compared to Fox's treatment of Futurama (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/matt-groening-talks-move-netflix-disenchantment-1130972)
"Netflix couldn't have been more supportive," says Groening of his first new TV series in two decades. "They basically said yes after a very quick pitch and have been completely supportive thereon — and that is unusual in the history of TV. There is usually a lot more worry and second-guessing as time goes on." His experience with Fox was completely different. Groening says of Fox's treatment of Futurama: "They so much didn't like it, they scheduled the show for 7 p.m. on Sunday nights and then made the slogan of the network: 'The fun begins at 8 p.m.' So, I wasn't able to just read between the lines, I was able to read the line."
