Some of you are flying WAAAY off the mark if you ask me (which I know you didn't.) Marge - Leela?!? Not a chance, I could not imagine a more different pair of leading ladies, Marge is a commentary of the suburban housewife, downtrodden, quiet, no true life outside the housework. Leela is take-charge, tough, "I am woman hear me roar" type.
Next Carbito: Zap=Mr. Burns, Kif=Smithers, I don't think so, Burns for all his oddities is an intelligent ruthless capitalist MUCH more like Mom, Zap is more a harmless egocentric moron, stupid but not evil and Kif and smithers don't fit, Smithers, well we all know his deal is "y'know" and worships Burns while Kif despite maybe being as downtrodden and over-worked as Smithers hates every minute of it and is openly insulting of Zap.
I'd have to go with Kryten for all of hers except I don't think Calculon makes much of a McBain.

I had a big listing of characters I thought filled the same roles. It's buried in the general disscussion board somewhere.
Fry: Homer/Bart Bender: Bart/Homer Leela: Marge/Lisa Amy: ? Zoidberg: Millhouse/Dr. Nick Hermes: Lenny and/or Carl? Professor: Abe/Frink
I had more, but I don't care to try to remember.

Leela is so like Lisa, They're both inteligent, and strong willed, not to mention unpopular, and have dreams of granduer(sp?) Guh! The above quote has to be the most retarded thing I've ever read, up in ranks with practicaly anything Fox has said. Not to mention: Who gives a fat ugly wanker which Simpsons characters are like Futurama characters?! In any case Futurama is tons better than the Simpsons no contest so 'FFfff'! to that crap!

Originally posted by Carbito: I have noticed that some Futurama characters have a similar role in the story as a counter part in The Simspons. Can you think of any relationships between characters?
Two that I can think of are:
Zap=Mr. Burns Kif=Smithers FRY = Bart LEELA = Marge BENDER = Homer NIBBLER = Maggie AMY = Lisa ZOIDBERG = Santa's Little Helper FARNSWORTH = Grandpa CUBERT = Ned Flander's Kids (I haven't seen THE SIMPSONS in a long time so I forgot their names)

I always felt that
Zoidberg=Ned Flanders
Have you noticed how upbeat he seems at times? I guess I keep thinking of the episode "Roswell that Ends Well."
I felt that Leela=MArge as well. Because Leela is probably one of the smartest ones out there. Marge is one of those who cautions people about doing things, and they do stupid things anyways.
I also feel that homer is either Bender or Fry. In the Anthology of Interest where Bender screams "He's a madman...A MADMAN!!" he had such a Homer feel, but then of course, Fry is kind of thick-headed like Homer. He did eat that sandwich from a space truck stop after all.
Now Amy...I don't know where to place her. She's not dense, yet she's not as bright as Lisa.
Oh, and Nibbler=Santa's Little Helper: I mean they eat practically anything.

Leela is like both Marge and Lisa. She has sense like Lisa plus they're both animal activists "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz" and Leela is like Marge in that they're both unimpulsive "AOI" and that Simpsons episode where Homer breaks his jaw are good examples. You remember that texas guy that owns everything from the Simpsons "Yeehaw Lisa Land"; well, he seems a lot like that guy from the Robot Wrestling Federation (RWF), he also owned that Blernsball team. That seems like a good one to me..... Also I think gil is somebody too "All this bad stuff happens to poor old gil" from the Simpsons (I think that's his name)....
