The Issue

The beloved sitcom "The Simpsons" has been a significant part of our lives since 1989, airing numerous seasons under the iconic 20th Century Fox banner. Alongside "The Simpsons," shows like "Family Guy" and "Bob's Burgers" have not only entertained us but have become cultural staples. However, since Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, many of these shows’ futures seem uncertain. The essence and originality we've cherished may be compromised due to changes in ownership and creative direction.

Disney, renowned for magical storytelling and family-friendly content, may not align with the edgy, satirical humor that defines many beloved Fox properties. "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," and "Bob's Burgers" thrive on their distinctiveness, offering commentary on society in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Transferring these shows to a parent company with a different brand ethos could alter their core essence.

By urging Disney to sell 20th Century Fox, we aim to preserve the unique identities and creative independence of these shows. Returning Fox to a standalone company would allow it to maintain the creative freedom that enabled groundbreaking content for over three decades. This sale would respect the institutions these shows have become, maintaining continuity for fans devoted for numerous seasons and attracting new generations intrigued by their timeless appeal.

Join me in calling on Disney to recognize the significance of "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," and "Bob's Burgers". Let’s ensure that these programs continue to flourish in an environment that completely supports their imaginative world-building and satirical narratives. Together, we can help maintain the beloved legacy of these series that have connected countless families and friends through laughter and meaningful storytelling over the years.

Sign this petition to respectfully request Disney to consider selling back 20th Century Fox, ensuring our cherished shows remain true to the art that made them legendary.
