'''20th Television''', formerly known as '''20th Century Fox Television''', is a production company that produces ''[[The Simpsons]]''. It, and the [[FOX|Fox network]], has been referenced many times in the show. After March 20, 2019, it became a subsidiary of {{W|The Walt Disney Company|The Walt Disney Company}} (formerly {{W|21st Century Fox|21st Century Fox}}) and been integrated as a unit of {{W|Disney Television Studios}}.<br />
<br />
In early 2020, The Walt Disney Company were rebranded 20th Century Fox to {{W|20th Century Studios}} to remove confusion of newly spunoff company, the Fox Corporation. For the first time since 1994, its television division (20th Century Fox Television) became known as {{W|20th Television}} in August 2020.<br />
<br />
Starting from September 26, 2021 onward, the 20th Television logo is now replaced by the 20th Television Animation logo instead its used as a copyright name at the end credits and on other promotional material and merchandise.<br />

'''Gracie Films''' is an American film and television production company, created by [[James L. Brooks]] in 1986. The company has produced many award-winning films and television series, some of which include ''Broadcast News'' and ''Jerry Maguire'', but most notably, ''[[The Simpsons]]''. The company is primarily associated with film studio and distributor Sony Pictures Entertainment, but it still has an office at the 20th Century Fox lot due to the indefinite contract Gracie Films has had with Fox for the last 30 years for ''The Simpsons''.<br />
<br />
The Gracie production logo depicts noisy movie patrons at a movie theater hearing a woman in the back row saying "Shhhhh!" so the title, the company's name, can be projected, and that the company's musical signature can be heard. Some special versions of the company's jingle were made to fit certain episodes of the Simpsons. The music over the logo was composed by [[Jeffrey Townsend]].<br />

<br />
== Cultural references ==<br />
=== Opening Sequence ===<br />
*[[Kang]] and [[Kodos]] wonder if speeding up time will allow the [[Chicago Cubs]] to win the {{W|World Series}}, a reference to the team's long-standing {{W|List of Major League Baseball franchise postseason droughts|championship drought}}, which lasted from 1908 to 2016.<br />
<br />
=== B.I.: Bartificial Intelligence ===<br />
*''{{W|A.I. Artificial Intelligence}}'': Punned in the title and parodied throughout the segment.<br />
*The song featured during [[Bart]]'s "jealousy" montage is "{{W|New Kid in Town}}" by the {{W2|Eagles|band}}.<br />
*The scene where Bart meets the group of robots in the woods is a spoof of the music video for the song "{{W|Rockit}}" by {{W|Herbie Hancock}}. The walking pair of robot legs were featured in the video.<br />
*The segment concludes with a short parody of ''[[The Exorcist]]'', featuring a possessed [[Homer]].<br />
=== Survival of the Fattest ===<br />
*The second segment is a parody of ''{{W|The Most Dangerous Game}}'', a 1923 short story by {{W|Richard Connell}}.<br />
*The segment title is a pun on the [[Charles Darwin|Darwin]]-inspired catchphrase, "{{W|survival of the fittest}}".<br />
<br />
=== I've Grown a Costume on Your Face ===<br />
*The segment's title is a reference to the song "{{W|I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face}}" from the musical ''{{W|My Fair Lady}}''. It is also an allusion to a [[List of songs/Season 14|song]] that [[Bart]] and [[Sideshow Bob]] sing in Bart's room in the [[Season 14]] episode "[[The Great Louse Detective]]".<br />
*Television series references:<br />
**''{{W2|Buffy the Vampire Slayer|TV series}}'': In the episode "Halloween", most of the residents of Sunnydale don cursed costumes that transform them into what they are dressed as.<br />
**The classic ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'': In the episode "The Masks," four greedy heirs are turned into monsters by the hideous masks each wears at their benefactor's behest.<br />
**''{{W|The Fairly OddParents}}'': In the episode "Scary GodParents," Timmy wishes that everybody's Halloween costumes were real.<br />
*After all of [[Springfield]]'s citizens are turned into real-life versions of their costumes, [[Mayor Quimby]] as Mayor McCheese says, "I am not a happy meal right now" as dogs lick at him, a reference to [[McDonald's]] {{W|Happy Meal}}s.<br />
*At the end of the segment, [[Maggie]] the witch flies up to the moon, accompanied by the theme music of ''[[Bewitched]]'', in a scene very similar to the TV series' title animation.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
*"I've Grown a Costume on Your Face" is similar to an issue of the ''[[Simpsons Comics]]'' [[Bartman]], in which an [[Itchy and Scratchy]] brought to life through alien technology create a nuclear explosion which turns the Simpsons into costumed superheroes.<br />
*This is the first [[Treehouse of Horror series|Treehouse of Horror]] episode to not be the premiere of its season since "[[Treehouse of Horror X]]".<br />
*This is the only Simpson episode where God's face is completely shown (in the opening).<br />
