This is the position taken by those who don't get the math / physics / programming / general geek jokes that permeate the show.

aye...futurama has a LOT of content...in fact, i find my self pausing it REPEATEDLY to read all the signs etc...


family guy is indeed hilarious, but futurama is just on another level..so much higher....the character development and quality of the plots is just fantastic for an animation.

fixed your typo

LOL... so true.. although, it is still missing something..


Family Guy, Simpsons > Futurama > Warm sack of sh!t > King of the Hill

King of the Hill is ridiculously stupid and awkward.. it's a train wreck.
 
family guy > old school simpsons > futurama > new school simpsons > * > king of the hill

king of the hill is such an awful show. I can't believe it's still on... but I guess all the people living between the East and West coasts really identify with it 😛
 
Kid: "Daddy Bender, we're hungry!"
Bender: "What's with you kids?! Every other day it's always food food food.."

i find king of the hill pretty amusing...it's not a bad show, and i enjoy the eps.

of course, family guy is just damn too funny

i watch futurama for its cult jokes hehehe and it's an interesting show

simpsons is always the steady

I thought the one about his dog waiting for him to come back after he was frozen, laying outside the pizza shop for years in the rain etc was pretty freakin sad

Yeah, I remember seeing those two episodes for the first time. I was really surprised that a usually very funny cartoon could evoke such an opposite emotion. Especially the dog one.
 
"death by schmoo schmoo!"

*fry scared look on his face*

"what're u gay???"

that episode is hilarious, espeically when the women are playing basketball
"our good fundamentels make up for our inability to dunk"
hilarious
 
Fry and the Slurm Factory is a great ep... as you can see by my name, lol

Anyone remember the ep where they crash onto an icy planet and Leela joins this group of ppl who were trying to save penguins. Needless to say, they did such a good job that in the end they had to kill them. I thought that ep was overly ironic.
 
like everybody but one person said, king of the hill is not that great. whenever i watch it for some reason i think of it as being dubed over in japanese and realize how increadible slow and boring it is in english.
 
Agreed, King of the Hill isn't that great of a show. They should just cancel that show and bring back futurama.

The song is Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me. Great song. The clover episonde is one of my favorites too! I don't get it how can anyone NOT like Futurama... there is something for everyone, comedy, drama, romance and most important of all - nasty remarks from Bender. 🙂
