I'm pretty sure they are no longer making new episodes of Futurama. I really liked that show. Good thing it lives on as reruns on Adult Swim. Maybe, just maybe, with the popularity of the show on Adult Swim and the sales of the DVDs could cause Matt Groening to continue Futruama. That would be cool, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Last time I watched the show was a year ago. I forgot which channel it was on. It was my 3rd favotite.
1: New and old TMNT
2: The Simpsons
3:Futrama

Yes, Futurama was cancelled, sad really, but it remained a classic for it's five seasons
I think Futurama ended at the right moment, I did'nt want it to go the way of the Simpsons and become a stale, unfunny, piece of crap.

Futurama was quite brilliant, and much funnier than these new Simpsons episodes
Seriously! What idiot actually wrote the one with Santa's little helper becoming Spuds McDuff? That was the worst episode along with the one they go to Africa. I mean, a dated 1980's refference, no plot lines... these writeres spend years at harvard to learn to write incomprehensible stories held together only by random jokes.
I really think Futurama should have remained on the air, not the Simpsons (And I am a HUGE Simpsons fan! Really I love them!!!)

Although it is not as good as it used to be, I still think The Simpsons is a great show. It's humor comes from too many random things nowadays. The Simpsons used to be more poignant, and its humor was in its satirical view of society. Nowadays they try to see how many random situations they can put Homer in to get laughs. I still watch The Simpsons and think its hillarious, but it is not on par with episodes past.

I watch it every Sunday without fail. i love it, just wish they'd fire these college boys and get back some old blood. We need real plots, and not just putting Homer in random situations. Plus, they need to think up jokes AFTER they get a main storyline (not the other way around).

EZweasel, If you've got nothing to contribute other than whiny b*tching, stay the heck out of these threads
Simpsons is'nt even REMOTELY funny anymore, all it does is rip off Family Guy's humour and throws in so many guest-stars it insults the fans.

Yeah, Simpsons has gotten to the point of randomness much like Family Guy. That's what makes Family Guy so funny and probably why it only lasted 3 seasons. It's still a funny show. I like The Simpsons, Futurama, and Family Guy and think they are all funny as hell. I must be easily amused.

so far ive noticed the new simpsons is ten times funnier than the old ones. if i can remember right futurama didnt try to be funny, but i havent seen it in so long.

Futurama was classic, but I think the last season peetered out (is peetered a word?) a bit from what I saw
The 'Roswell That Ends Well' episode was fantastic
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Above all else it is our responsibility to preserve the timeline.
<Fry walks in>
Fry: Well, I've killed my grandfather!
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Whaaaaaaaa?
Leela: Wait, if you killed your grandfather, why do you still exist?
Fry: I don't know. Maybe God loves me.

I've only been lately appreciating the humor of Futurama, which is great. All the characters are so unique as well. The Simpsons is still alright, but ever since Conan left, it hasn't been as good as it used to be. Good thing they're bringing Family Guy back, now that show was funny.

Yeah, I only really began to appreciate Futurama on Adult Swim myself.

I was a Futurama fan from the first day it aired. :evilgrin: Bender is one of my many role models.
Nothing like screaming, "You can kiss my shiny metal ass!"

I thought they stopped making it about a year ago? But it was a pretty good show.

I always used to like Futurama. I liked Leela (or however you spell her name) cause she was this butt-kicking, one eyed, mutant.

I seen the show only 5 episodes, I didn't like much of Matt's Second TV show. it might be tooken place in 3000 A.D. but it's not as entiretaining as the Simpsons. It didn't have the traditional Yellownish in it.
I'm surprised hardly anyone likes the new seasons of the Simpsons. After it made more than 300 episodes and in progress for more than 15 years?
I watch no matter what. There's still some episodes I need to see. i have First 3 seasons on DVD, can't wait to get Season 4. I like to get the Hit & Run game pretty soon. So i'm kind of a 100% Simpsons fan all the way.
Nothing beats watching from the classics to the premiere episodes. :wink:
