Simpsons VS Futurama

[Reply #360 on:]

Futurama's initial run was amazing falling just short of the Simpson's first 10 seasons.  I give the Simpson's first 10 seasons an edge because it is so enduring in all of our hearts and minds.  Futurama is fantastic, but cannot beat the Simpsons because the Simpsons established what a prime-time cartoon show is all about.
Small side note, when I was 10 I wanted to be Bart, now that I'm 24, I want to be Fry.  I'm glad that I could grow along side of Matt Greoning's Universe.

Why is Yu-Gi-Oh on this poll?

I'm voting for it for teh lulz.

/shot for trying to be cool with an overdone 4chan reference

Futurama is on top, no contest. I enjoyed the first 8 seasons of The Simpson's but it went steep downhill after that. I have not even watched it since season 15 because it is so bad. I prefer American Dad to Simpson's now.

Simpsons is funnier but Futurama has the better stories and more action. Oh..and..the new episodes of Futurama are better than the new episodes of The Simpsons!! Well, ...when I get the money?

[Reply #364 on:]

Damn this is a Tough One.... Stuck between Futurama and American Dad!.... I think Futurama beats it by 10%.... =P

[Reply #365 on:]

[Reply #366 on:]

I vote futurama. But I wish I could vote twice, Venture Brothers being voteless is a crime! A crime, I say!!!

Seasons 2-6 of the "Simpsons" are just fantastic, but Seasons 1-6 of Futurama are just as fantastic. Futurama wins by 1 season. Some later episodes of the Simpson are great too, but just not as good as before. Best Futurama episode: Roswell That Ends Well. Best Simpsons episode: Last Exit to Springfield.

What do you mean Simpsons seasons 2-6? The first Season of the Simpsons is full of classic episodes with those memorable moments.

I just don't like it. But I'm not sayin' I don't like the first season, It's just not one of the DVD's I would buy.

yeah who could forget smithers with a tan and the simpson house changing colors every frame lol...

[Reply #376 on:]

And the windows' shape changes as well.

[Reply #377 on:]

LOL...Futurama with 80.8% of the vote (101 votes).  What did we expect?

[Reply #378 on:]

futurama with 90% but i guess thats being too optimistic

[Reply #379 on:]

That's seriously one of the reasons, the quality isn't too good. (But it's understandable...) "Homer's Odyssey" is a well written episode, but poorly animated.

And the windows' shape changes as well.

All that's is really a reason for me.

I'm just asking, What's your favorite ep of S2 of the Simpsons?

For me is it: Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? It's a classic ep, Danny DeVito is great.

Fam Guy is far more inconsistent than the Simpsons which is far more inconsistent than Futuram which is marginally (imperceptively so in fact) less consistent than American Dad
AmDad and Futuram are way ahead of the other two
When FamGuy is good, it's excellent. Problem is, it rarely is.
Simpsons are hit and miss more miss than hit.
Futurama and AmDad are most often very good, and occasionally excellent.

I have actually never seen a full episode of AD, but I did tho like what I saw.

I'm stickin' with the general opinion, every episode of "The Simpsons" after Season 9 is terrible. (Though "E-I-E-I-Do'h" was a great episode.)

[Reply #382 on:]

if you had to chose which show you wold watch the most then what is it    

[Reply #383 on:]

People here generally tend to like Futurama more than the Simpsons.

There has already been a thread about this: here.

EDIT: I'm an idiot, posted in the wrong thread. This post can be deleted (because the thread it was about got also deleted).

[Reply #384 on:]

I think the Simpsons were great from season 1 to 10, the rest OK.

Plus the Simpsons don't appeal to me as much as Futurama. And no Futurama isn't the Simpsons in space (though they do have elements of Simpson humor), nor is very much like The Jetsons.

I find the Simpsons to be to much mainstream for my liking. The Simpsons' setting is it in our time, so they can only do so much when it comes to science fiction. As for Futurama it's in the future, there are sapient aliens, sapient robots and the Human race can travel to end of the universe and back home to Earth in one week, and much more.

Plus the Simpsons is mostly about a dysfunctional family, Futurama the work place, even though Simpsons does a lot of work place too, Futurama does very little on family, which makes it a very different show.

[Reply #385 on:]

Yes, it's overall the same with me, but after season 8 the Simpsons got just awful!

And I'm more into Futurama (as said) because of the scienece-fiction, since I was always a science-fiction fan.

[Reply #386 on:]

I long ago abjured my belief that Family Guy is the most entertaining animated show ever created. Granted I still love watching the old episodes (and occasionally I'll get some laughs from the newer ones), but Futurama has stolen my heart and will probably never let go no matter how outdated and decrepit it becomes.  

[Reply #387 on:]

It won't become outdated until the year 3000!...

[Reply #388 on:]

It won't become outdated until the year 3000!...

Then I shall be a worthy yeoman by fulfilling my life-long obligation to watch Futurama till the day I die (or until the year 3000, whichever comes first)!

This is a Futurama forum. No-one will choose the Simpsons.

[Reply #392 on:]

Wow, your posts are difficult to read.
Seriously, is your keyboard broken or something?

[Reply #393 on:]

ik lol i was bored, and wanted 2 c wut idiot wuld do dis

Try to not type in cell phone speak as many people wont understand it.

And you should really try to look for a topic in the search bar as there is a futurama>simpsons thread already.
But since you opened a new one it wont matter any more.

Anyway I think Futurama is a much better show because they can do everything they want to.
I think the older episodes of the Simpsons is slightly better than Futurama but now that the Simpsons is on the 23rd season I don't enjoy any more

[Reply #394 on:]

Without a doubt, Futurama. As a person who was always interested in reading about depictions of the future and hi-tech machines, it definitely appealed more to me. But aside from this, it's got better character development and humor than the Simpsons.

[Reply #395 on:]

Both are awesome.

[Reply #396 on:]

Futurama. It has more continuity. Also science-fiction, which allows it to do more.
Science-fiction beats everything else.
Science fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said, "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinded critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

They're both pretty sucky now.

They're both pretty sucky now.

Get out.

[Reply #399 on:]

Both were great but the only difference now is that Futurama is still going strong, much stronger than OFF...
