For another, they both lost at least one family member: Thomas and Mary Wayne for Bruce Wayne, and Uncle Ben for Peter Parker-although Aunt May’s time would come in the _Marvel’s Spider-Man_ game and _Spider-Man: No Way Home._

No it wasn't, he was appearing less and less long before the controversies. People just like to forget that.
I'll add another controversy I recently learned about: Marge actress Julie Kavner protested the season 4 episode "Krusty Gets Kancelled" because she did not like the idea of an episode being made just to have a bunch of celebrity guest stars. Harry Shearer also felt the same way, but Julie ended up not providing any VO for the episode in protest.

She doesn’t seem to have any problem with that _nowadays_ though.
I believe Sam Simon's resentment of the other two people behind the show getting all the kudos led directly to the writing of the Flaming Moe's episode where Homer invents a sensational new drink but Moe gets the credit.
On the one hand, #2 doesn't have Matt Groening. But on the other hand, it does have a man getting hit in the groin with a football.
2- I understand why Groening didn't want to be strong-armed into doing a crossover, but it is a funny episode.

True. It was brilliant counter programming. FOX was still relatively new and the move helped kick Cosby, out of the #1 spot. Cosby Show was already aging in its 7th season, 4 of the 5 kids had moved out of the house and went to college or got married and they had to bring in a new kid (Raven Symone).

#9 is not actually a controversy. And the truth is The Simpsons helped kicked Cosby out of the #1 spot. For 5 seasons (1985-1990), Cosby was the #1 show on American network TV. FOX which was relatively still new in 1990 had a hit with The Simpsons and the counter-programming of The Simpsons against Cosby helped Cosby lose it's #1 spot and the second season, Cosby dropped out of the Top 10 altogether thanks to The Simpsons. The Simpsons also helped lead in to a new show on FOX, Beverly Hills, 90210, which proved to another huge hit for the network.

Cosby Show was on NBC, not Fox. Simpsons were on opposite Cosby on Thursdays.
holy shit it’s offensive how little fox paid the voice actors. the first ten seasons of the simpsons had a total of 226 episodes with anywhere from 6.8 million to 33.6 million american viewers for the first airing of a new episode
What episode is Kristy and the zoo animals from at 3:57?
Butch Hartman used to watch this show, but he forgot an episode where they add a new character from Itchy and scratchy.
Tracy Ullman was going NOT involved in the creative aspect of The Simpsons. I agree that some money should have been given but it seems that she wanted a big piece of the pie. If the show had been cancelled in season three, would she have went after them?

I disagree. I don't think you're entitled to a cut of someone's profits in perpetuity just because you're the reason they became famous. If that were the case, just look at all the actors and singers that made huge careers after getting their start as a child actor working for Disney either in Mickey Mouse club or any one of their many children series. Brittney Spears, Ariana Grande, Zendaya, Zac Efron, and countless more. Are you saying Disney is entitled to a percentage of their earnings forever because they are the ones responsible for propelling those people to fame? Should a record company OWN an artist they signed as a teenager for the rest of their life because no one would know who they are if they hadn't made the deal? Think about what you're saying for a minute. Tracy Ullman wasn't entitled to anything. Anything she gave platform to was done so for HER OWN benefit. She helped the Simpsons get started because it was in her financial interest at that point in time to do so. It wasn't selfless or altruistic or doing it for them, she did it for herself. Then when they became bigger than her, she got mad and wanted a slice of the pie. She is just greedy and jealous, nothing more, nothing less.
