The crossover episode will open up with the Griffin family from Family Guy taking a road trip across the country where they wind up in Springfield, reports Entertainment Weekly. There, they run into the Simpsons who welcome the bunch with open arms. During the episode, the families have some quality bonding time. Marge and Louis have a wife-to-wife moment, while the kids like Bart and Stewie exchange pranking stories. Homer and Peter, however, spend their time arguing about who drinks the best beer:  Duff or Pawtucket?

Peter and Homer had something to say about their crossover episode. “FOX hasn’t spent this much money since they took Simon Cowell tight T-shirt shopping,” said Peter Griffin in a statement. “Finally I can get my hands on this guy!” added Homer.

The Simpsons and Family Guy crossover episode doesn’t air until the Fall of 2014, but there has already been major partnerships between the two series. Both of the animated comedies air on Sunday nights. Dan Castellaneta had a one-line voice cameo in an October 2012 episode of Family Guy and in May, Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, had a prominent guest role in the 24th season finale of The Simpsons.

But as fate would have it, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the Oscar cast producers officially offered MacFarlane the job once again…even though as the last show was approaching he expressed his feelings about doing the job again saying, “Who knows how this will go,” MacFarlane expressed before show on Feb. 24. “Even if it goes great, I just don’t think that I could do this again. It’s just too much with everything else that I have to do. I’m happy to be doing it and I will be thrilled to have done it, assuming I get out of there in one piece, but I really think this is a one-time thing for me.”

Well, he stuck to his word and has officially Tweeted his decline to host the Oscars for the March 2, 2014 show.

His two-part Tweet read: “Traumatized critics exhale: I’m unable to do the Oscars again. Tried to make it work schedule-wise, but I need sleep. However, I highly–>

Apparently the 39 year old star actor, director, and Family Guy voice over is too busy and needs his beauty rest.
