The Simpsons’ Disney-21st Century Fox prediction “just got a bit crazier”
The Simpsons made the prediction on Nov. 8, 1998. As one Twitter user notes, if you add November’s month (11) + 8 + 1998, you get 2017. ALSO: Here are more Simpsons predictions that could still come true.

At Fox, it’s business as usual despite Disney deal — but Fox execs insist Disney won’t dilute The Simpsons or Family Guy

Disney’s acquisition of Fox’s may take between a year and 18 months, so Fox executives are proceeding with their jobs as usual. Fox Television Group chairman Gary Newman did joke at this morning's the Television Critics Association session that he would be addressing “the elephant in the room… or in our case, the Mouse.” He added: “We have to operate at Fox as if this deal doesn’t go through ... We’ll worry down the road when this deal happens.” Asked if Disney will have any impact on Fox’s edgy animated comedies, Newman added: “They’re not acquiring Fox to create some kind of PG company, or as Bob Iger has put it, to ‘Disney-fy’ it.”

ALSO:

Ryan Murphy had an “emotional" reaction to the Disney-Fox merger: "Am i going to have put Mickey Mouse in American Horror Story?" he said at the TV press tour. “I was not prepared for what happened,” but “I’m hopeful," he said. Murphy added that he received calls assuring him from both Fox's Rupert Murdoch and Disney's Bob Iger. "I’m sort of interested to see what that company is going to look like before I make any decisions," he said.
