i'm glad i checked this thread out.

i honestly wouldnt have given it much of a chance .. well, i didnt give it any chance because i've never seen it and assumed it would be a pale poor cousin to the simpsons.

due to the good press here i picked up vol 1 and 2 used and it is just as funny as the simpsons ...

i love Benders voice .. and the fact that he's called Bender because he bends stuff (not because he's constantly drinking)

there are certainly simularities with both series - more than just the obvious artistic style ..

once again a woman portrays the voice of reason ...

I know this is an older post but I like Futurama way better than Simpsons and I love Katie Segal as LeLa.

Billy West is my God (Hmmm...a cult sounds like a good idea)

Agreed, Futurama is way better. I like the Simpsons but Futurama can do much more crazier things and get away with it because it's all spacey.

i cant say i prefer it to the simpsons .. the fry character isnt anywhere as amusing as homer ...
Fry's great great ..etc unkce is really just a combination of the simpsons grandfather and the scientist geek..

but i do love all the sci-fi references .. and i like Bender and the Dr. Sqiud guy..

my favorite scene so far was with the Leonard Nimoy head

'at least we have our dignity'
'dinner time !'


i think futurama is a little more hit and miss but once homer became the focal point of the simpsons (instead of bart) i thought the simpsons was a more solid show.

well, thanks to 'Return'

i have the 1st 3 boxsets and my whole family is addicted to Futurama

have all 4 volumes now :)

i'm gonna be sad when i come to the end .. what a great show ..

I still don't see why they had to cancel the show. It was a thousand times better than any of the new Simspons episodes.

would you believe the reason they gave for ending it was "lack of viewers"???

If there were people watching Simpsons and South Park, they must have got their heads screwed on the wrong way for saying they ran outta viewers...maybe another marketing gimmick which went awry...

The show will always be a classic...forever and ever...
