It's a good show.

Much better and more sophisticated than The Simpsons. Any old show doesn't just receive an Emmy. It has to earn it. And Futurama has.

I hope FOX sees what they've done. They certainly won't bring it back, but I hope they're kicking themselves in the heads right now, and hard. The ratings are spectacular for CN, and hopefully they'll be good for TBS too, even if it's just a summer run.

I never found Family Guy funny. Sorry fans. I like Futurama, it is a great show.

Futurama and Family Guy putting the pre show on the non-stop comedy block, the best 5 hours on TV. My only concern is Fresh Price which pre entertained us quite nicely. If Fresh Prince was moved back to 1:30 this would all work out to being quite possibly the best lineup to ever see weekday afternoons. Futurama isn't what I thought it would be, the characters are a little too interesting, but can easily keeps me entertained until Family Guy who manages to not go 5 seconds without a joke that usually fit in a normal cartoon's best joke of the episode. Not to mention the final 8:00 movie that never fails to catch my intrest, adding 1 to my summer movie list extending from movies like The Breakfast Club to Dances With Wolves.

This is good news and I'll watch but not until "Ally Mcbeal" is done with it's 5th season on FX.

One of the great things about Futurama is that even though the characters are stereotypical (the dumb guy, the pretty, ditzy, rich girl, the crotchety old man, etc) they're different enough to make them unique. I mean, lots of shows have a rude, trash-talking character, but how many of those characters are cigar-smoking robots? How many TV babes have only one eye?

And of course, the humor is up-to-date and biting. It's great.

Bender: Another classic science fiction show cancelled before its time.

Ain't it the truth.

Yea, and I can guarantee you not one single show has ever had a humanoid lobster who wears sandals. It should have continued a lot longer than what it has. 72 episodes? I know it's still a lot of episodes, but it deserves more. The smart thing for FOX to do would have been to cancel the Simpsons about a season or two ago and give Futurama its slot. Of course that would never happen in this day and age of FOX. And King of the Hill over Futurama? Something doesn't add up. I think this picture is an accurate image of FOX's president these days. Good old Matt knows his stuff.
