I've been watching family guy and futurama since they both started in 99 and to be honest, futurama is a great show, but family guy is funnier, it's shown in the sales of dvds

I'm sure a bunch of PEELers are behind me on this: Fox didn't care for Futurama when they realized they couldn't rake in the big bucks on merchandize that they could (and still can) with The Simpsons. So they mushroomed Futurama and let it go to hell after they were thorugh with the original agreement (witch they interpreted with some real creativeness). Family Guy got better marketing (also, suburbian comedy just simply sells- simple as that) and I am quite sure that's what's reflecting itself upon the DVD sales. The ONLY funny things about Family Guy is Stewie and that ONE joke about fathers being able to tell when someone fiddles with the thermostat...

Back on topic....
The first two episodes of Futurama were called sneak previews because they aired on Sundays instead of the regular time on Tuesday.

Futurama is a show based on the characters and the development of their personalities/relationships. And because of that, its just harder to build up a fan base. If you didn't see the some of the earlier episodes, I'm sure you wouldn't like it, because the rest of the show wouldn't make any sense. It's one of those shows you just have to watch from the beginning. But Family Guy is a show based on verbal jokes, more than subtle humor, and its more direct and easier to understand. If you don't get the subtle jokes on Futurama, it wouldn't be all that funny, just confusing (like why people hate Zoidberg for no reason).

The 1st episode I saw was Where The Buggalo Roam (when it was new), and I liked it so much that I am now the biggest Futurama watcher in my town (23,000+ people).
