Pros: Fast, furious comedy--not a carbon copy of the Simpsons
Cons: Lacks character development, too adult in tone, language, and violence for pups
Summary: Futurama is in the middle of it's third season, and while I think it's always been strong, it's just getting better and better. I know some people feel alienated, or think that it can't make a social commentary like The Simpsons simply because it's set ... read more

Pros: Great humor and original characters.
Cons: Come to think of it, I cant think of any!
Summary: When most people think of Futurama they also think of the Simpson’s and then proceed to make a comparison. This is absolutely wrong, while the creator and character models are the same; they are two very different shows. In the Simpson's a large majority ... read more

Pros: Theme tune, characters, humour
Cons: Not many
Summary: Futurama is a sort of scifi comedy cartoon satire show st in the year 3000. Now if that sounds like a contradiction in terms, you are wrong. The only thng separating Futurama and The Simpsons is the thousand year age gap. This is as funny, as satirical, ... read more

Pros: Has dazzling animation, great characters and character design, and interesting story lines.
Cons: Too self indulgent, humor is forced and uneven at times.

Pros: Great cartoon. Very funny. Takes place in the future.
Cons: Everybody is so dumb.

Pros: great animation,good humour
Cons: can take a while for jokes to build up
Summary: All I can say is it is about time someone made a good comedy about the future. All other programs about the future either show the ruin and decay created by human kind(the most probable if not great) or a happy place where everyone lives in peace(man ... read more

Pros: New and Original
Cons: Can't better than the Simpsons
Summary: Futurama is from the creator of the Simpsons, Matt Groening, and unsurprisingly the two shows are very similar. But that’s not to say Futurama is bad, far from it builds on the Simpsons humour and adds to it in many ways, concentrating slightly more on ... read more

Pros: It's the 1000 little things that make you laugh! Body language and hidden gags rule!
Cons: Watching in Germany--in German and I am sure I am missing many jokes.
Summary: I was a little bit skeptic when I found out that a new show was coming out from the makers of the Simpsons. I thought for sure it couldn't get any better than the Simpsons. Living in Germany, US sitcoms usually come a year or two later here. I called ... read more

Pros: Similar Simpsons-esque humour.
Cons: Not quite as good as The Simpsons.
Summary: When I heard that there was a new cartoon coming out I wasn't that excited. But when I heard it was a new creation from the genius that is Matt Groening, then my excitement level grew. I'm just about as big a Simpsons fan as you will find and the chance ... read more

Pros: The Animation, the voices, the plot, the storylines.
Cons: none what so ever

Pros: Kinda of funny sometimes
Cons: Mostly dull the rest of the time
Summary: When Futurama first showed up I was excited. My rational was "If it's from the creators of 'The Simpsons' it's gotta be good!". Well like so many thoughts of that nature it's not quite right. It's a decent show, but nothing to get excited ... read more
