OMG SELLOUTS. HOW DARE THEY TRY AND MAKE MONIES. LOL

You misspelled "How dare they sacrifice their credibility and humor in order to keep people watching instead of making what used to be an excellent, original show."

Futurama is an awesome show, I really enjoy it. 2008 shall be good.

I guess the Simpsons are a living, breathing example of what happens to a show that's been running for far too long.

You'd think those DVD's are enough.

Won't there be a simpsons movie? If there will be, it's about time.

Off the topic of futurama a little: South Park is my favorite cartoon show. Futurama is prolly #2 for me. But I hate Family Guy, it's not even funny at all, and American Dad is even worse. It seems to almost have the same writing as Family Guy, except the characters have different names.

I enjoyed watching Futurame while it aired, I didn't follow it fanatically, but it was rather funny. Bender's definitely the best character.

You are so banned.

Even though you're Hobo, you're not allowed to warn people, let alone ban someone. If you have a problem with someone, just report the post.

:

what the ****?! Not one of them made you laugh?! so you don't have a sense of humour, and if you dont have a sense of humour, then your BETTER OF DEAD!!!

Sapphire Diamond, watch your language.

As for the topic:

Futurama was a cool show. Excellent how they managed to catch the stupidity of the human race, all combined into the character that is Fry.

Laser · #36 02-05-2007, 09:24 AM

Futurama is bloody brilliant!

my fave character is Dr.zoidberg then bender then fry they are all very funny!

family guy is quite adult for me but lots of it is really funny
Simpson have gone down hill after 2000 but they are still good
and i like drawn together B-)

I'd call you a hypocrit, but I can't remember if you can get banned for predicting bans.

Futurama - my favorite comedy cartoon next to Family Guy.
My favorite character is Bender. He's a nutcase. I know people who hate Futurama, but I don't know why. I bought all the episodes on DVD, and had one night where I'd a whole season.

OddjobAbe · #39 02-11-2007, 08:01 AM

Yeah, didn't they only do twenty episodes. I think it canceled back when I was ten. But I'm more fond of The Simpsons.

They did 72 episodes (sorry for double posting).

Jordan · #40 02-11-2007, 08:26 AM

Man, I WHOLE night of Futurama?

Use the EDIT function if you feel the need to add something more, how many more times!?

OddjobAbe · #41 02-11-2007, 08:47 AM

Sorry, I just come back from the local pub with my friends-I feel drowsy and can't read the text on the screen proprly (trust me gettin drunk int like me )

Jordan · #42 02-11-2007, 09:40 AM

If you're really drunk, get off the PC and rest. You don't wanna be posting n00bish and spammy things while you're drunk do ya?

Drawn Together is damn terrible. I'd rather watch Jimmy Carr while stoned than subject myself to the toilet humour-filled train crash that is Drawn Together.

I did that once... Wasn't pretty.

What do you all think of the upcoming Simpsons film?

Bullet Magnet · #45 02-11-2007, 01:43 PM

I think I'm going to reserve judgement until I see it. However, the trailer with the CGI rabbit is genius.

Taytay · #46 02-11-2007, 01:52 PM

I love Futurama, and I think a reason some people don't like it is because they don't get it. Otherwise they hate it because they have a different taste in humor.

I personaly love it so much, as well as my girlfriend. We watch it all the time, and we think it's really funny, though sometimes one of us has to explain the joke to one another but I love it.
She has all the seasons of it on DVD except season 1. I am excited about the new season, though I hope it hasn't lost it's humor.

My favorite character? Recently it has been Mr. Zoidberg (or however you spell it...)
I love the episode where it's like the wizard of Oz, and they all are magicaly teleported to the witch's castle and everyone except Mr. Zoidberg says "Hey why were he brought to your castle?"
and Mr. Zoidberg says "And why did I have to take a cab?!"
Hahaha...I guesss you have to watch it to get the humor.

snuzi · #47 02-11-2007, 06:57 PM

See, I'd like it if it wasn't so hacky. All the humor in that show seems a bit old and repetitive. It just seems to me like a poor attempt at creating a second Simpsons.

I'm so, so sorry about that. That was the first time I was drunk in years. I'm just used to being on the PC. At least I got my facts right though, there were 72 episodes. Again, sorry.

moxco · #49 02-12-2007, 10:25 AM

Its funny but not even nearly half as good as The Simpsons.

Kamille · #50 02-12-2007, 04:52 PM

Futurama is great I like Bender.

***Nate*** · #51 02-12-2007, 05:37 PM

I may have mentioned this in another thread but I met a kid recently who told me that he thought The Simpson's was crap and always had been. I realised that he was so young (13ish) that he hadn't even born when it was at its peak.

I felt old.

Heh, don't you feel old - I'm nearly 37, in a few years, I'll be 40! I feel really old - I've been around to see Starsky and Hutch, Magnum P.I, Air Wolf, Quantum Leap, Futurama, Star Wars, SpaceBalls, etc.
I feel ancient. I think I might cry in a minute, I want to be young again - ah, the seventies, the days where I'd get home from work, sit down on the sofa, crack open a drink and watch Starsky and Hutch. I was only young, mind you, but sometimes, my dad would let me drink some of his beer. In fact, I speak for my dad with the bit 'get home from work'. Oh, I also remember Miami Vice. Life is now the opposite of peace and quiet.

Munch's Master · #53 02-13-2007, 04:30 AM

Futurama is greatness. I have every series on DVD, bought the complete set for a bargain at something like £60. I'm looking forward to it returning, and IMO it is far funnier than The Simpsons. It uses more subtle, witty humour rather than the straightforward comedy of The Simpsons. I like both shows, but prefer Futurama. Family Guy is good too, probably tied with Futurama for me. Dr Zoidberg is the best character of the lot, followed narrowly by The Professor.

Fuzzle Guy · #54 02-13-2007, 07:07 AM

I have every episode of every series of Futurama on DVD and generally I find I prefer it to the Simpsons.

:

Apparently pre-re-release (awesome word I just improvised) there's going to be a movie. Happy days! And yes I do love Futurama - I got the full set, I've watched every episode at least twice

I'm afraid there is no movie, but there are going to be 13, 1 hour episodes goign straight to DVD (They will not be shown on TV). They are expected to be released this December.

Rupture Farms · #55 10-03-2007, 03:11 AM

Futurama's a decent show. But it should of at least reached 5 seasons in my opinion.

It is generally a really, really clever show. And usually it's extremely funny.
But as someone stated earlier, it might just try a bit too hard sometimes..
In my humble opinion, the only funny characters are Farnsworth, Zoidberg, and possibly Fry and Leela's interactions.

Until about a year ago, I thought this show was just a mediocre Matt Groening offering, but then I saw the Season 4 episode, "Jurassic Bark".
Watch it, it's too hard to explain.

Absolutely beautiful animation, and a great all-star cast.
I'll finish by saying: Not the best show, but when it's on, I'll probably watch it.

I LOVE CAPITALS

... I'm not going to say spam since you're a mod and all now, but what I will say is what is the world comming to?
oh, and sorry if I made a mistake, but from what I'm read, I assumed your post wasn't to alert people not to use capitals.
On toppic, I like it, although I think mat groenning or whoever should stick with the simpsons.
I only watch it when it's on, and I'm not doing anything else better.
I like dr. zoidberg, he would normally piss me off, but I don't take him seriously, being a giant talking alien cartoon lobster and all.
Bender's ok too, and lila, or whatever her name is, the rest of the characters are normal and boring, I'd be glad if they replaced them with aliens, fry and the proffecer are ok, only because they are the main character and I like crazy proffecers.
The series goes far too slowly though, and it's obvious that lelia is going to meet her *spoilers ahead if you honsetly care* mutant parents, fry and lelia will be together, that alien green guy will rebel and go with that asian chick, etc.
I think the show would be much better with just Fry, Lelia and Bender, the others just get in the way, maybe zoidberg and the proffecer could appear as a guest or something, but other than that, it's just made it complicatedbly boring.
It's watchable. which beats alot of thiungs of TV these days however.

Another thing that I forgot to mention about Futurama, is that it's very timeless. I was watching an episode on TV the other day and the animation...the jokes...it just seemed like it was made just last year, when it was actually made over 5 years ago.

The Simpsons have shown that they can do this too, but not as well as Futurama.
In humour, The Simpsons wins. In animation and style, Futurama. Easily. I need not explain why, just watch the show.

Another unique aspect of Futurama is that it's never really....sucked. Per se..
I mean, it was never the best show, but there was also never a time where I would just stop watching it was so bad (this has happened numerous times with The Simpsons).
