might check this out... will be my first time in a while watching a simpsons episode live...

I really liked it. Fry didn't get many lines which was somewhat disappointing.

So is Futurama now literally the canon future of The Simpsons? This episode pretty much implied they're the same universe.

idk man
 
wasn't bad but wasn't anything special either. That's what u get with a half hour special though.

CyberCubed 11-09-2014 07:42 PM

It was quite funny and a good episode all around. It should have been 1 hour but what can you do. Nice to see the Futurama cast again and it was a great episode of Simpsons.

Agreed how can you fit two shows into a single half-hour????? Really????

But anyway Bender interaction with Maggie and Homer were awesome.
And as Cubed said I guess the simpsons world eventually turns into the futurama world.

turtlefanforever 11-09-2014 09:37 PM

yeah
 
wish there was more Fry as well

Seems funny how Bender had become the go-to guy for time travel.

Yeah I was actually shocked I figured they would use the time code to travel back.

I'm surprised Fry had so little lines. He was in the background way too much.

Was hoping to see some scenes between him and Homer.

Gotta be honest not really a Futurama fan. I've seen it a few times over the years just didn't get into it.

Still this was a great episode. The reasoning for them meeting up was creative and all the jokes were good.

chrisdude 11-10-2014 07:22 AM

I love Futurama. I've seen every episode. This is probably the third or fourth time I've seen The Simpsons. It was pretty funny.

And yeah, there was an easter egg from Fry's past that pretty much confirms this is their past. And that Fry worked in Springfield? Perhaps it's best not to think too much about this...

BubblyShell22 11-10-2014 07:36 AM

Yeah, I saw Fry's dog there, and I gasped when I did. Definitely makes me think both worlds are the same. Loved Lisa's joke about Bender pretty much being just like Homer and how it's lazy writing. I agree that I wish there was more to it, but for what we got, it was pretty good.

Leo656 11-10-2014 10:08 AM

I liked it for what it was but was very disappointed it was not a whole hour. It literally felt like they ran out of time.

Thats a big plot hole or something :lol:
Fry worked and lived in New York, not spring field. And in futurama the dog never leaves New York...... everyone knows what happens to him :cry:

My wife mentioned that as well.

Clearly, just supposed to be a cutesy gag, "let's throw in as many in-jokes as we can and see who catches them" kind of thing, rather than an establishment of "canon" or anything.

overall i liked it alot! i hope there's more where that came from

TurtleTitan97 11-10-2014 04:14 PM

I'm in agreement with what others have said. Good episode, but it felt pretty short.

I honestly preferred the comic book Furturama/Simpsons crossover.

I feel that like the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover that this is a one shot deal with nothing else, but one never knows.
