How would you feel if Futurama ended up like this?

I'm surprised we didn't already have a thread for ideas like this, and if there is one then I'm sorry.

Instead of normal names like we ended up with on the show, we had weird "futuristic" names and Fry's name ends up being a dirty word in the future, kinda like the name Dick is now, so he ends up changing his name to something more futuristic. 

Instead of Bender having his normal design he has Roberto's design but still has everything else the same as it is in the original version. I remember Roberto wearing a beard at somepoint during the show, which could be the Flexo alternative.

We have Morgan Proctor as the beurecrat instead of Hermes.  Everyone is colored like their alternative from "The Farnsworth Parabox".

Do you think Futurama would've been as good?  Do you think that you'd be a fan?

You can post your own ideas.

If the quality is still up to the same standard, I'm sure it'd be fine. After all, we wouldn't know any different.

The "would you rather" game in General Disscussion is also quite similar in concept (or, has the potential to be, anyway).

I figured this was a bit too big for that.

Wouldn't mind that at all! 

Or maybe a role reversal.  Have Fry be a tough guy robot, and Bender be the dumb delivery boy.  Amy the spaceship captain, and Leela the fun loving rich girl intern!  Zoidberg is the beloved beaucrat and Hermes is the lowly doctor!   Scruffy is the Professor and Farnsworth is the janitor!

This would be fun:  All the exes of the PE Crew take over PE.  Michelle is the delivery girl, Fanny is the robot, Zapp is the captain, Mom is the Professor, the bisque guy from the Titanic episode is the intern, and Edna is the doctor.  Not sure if Hermes had another girlfriend before Labarbra, though.

Woah woah woah!  I think that's going a bit too far, I was trying to atleast somewhat mantain the spirit of the show.  I just wanted to see if other people think that the show would've been bette or worse with these minor differences and find other ideas that weren't too out there.

If anything, I would've liked them to introduce more crew members over time. It would've been cool to see some other personalities around. However, they likely would've made the new characters very overplayed and unnecessary, so I'm sort of so-so on this idea.

I think the addition of Scruffy was enough.

And Jackie Jr.

Does it involve someone in a yellow robot costume slapping you in the face?
