The Simpsons might be coming to campus.

Well, actually the creator of the show, Matt Groening, might be bringing them to campus. At Monday night’s Student Union Board meeting, Rob Wiese, forum director for SUB, discussed a plan to bring “The Simpsons” television show’s creator to the Maintenance Shop via satellite next week.

On Thursday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m. in the M-Shop in the Memorial Union there will be an opportunity to see how the television series is put together.

The program will be sponsored by both SUB and the ISU Committee on Lectures.

The Museum of Television and Radio will be connecting Iowa State and other universities via satellite to the masterminds of the popular Fox television show.

“It will be a live seminar with the members of the creative team of the show, including the creator Matt Groening and many of the people who do voices on the show,” Wiese said.

“The program isn’t going to be interactive. You won’t be able to talk to the people, but it should be interesting to see how the show has evolved over time,” he said.
