Since this is the GENERAL discussion thread, this can go here. Someone on PEEL told me a few months ago that Chirs Tyng doesn't do the music for the show anymore cause they can't afford him or he just didn't come back or something. Lies. Lies and slander. He does still do the music.

American Dad is awesome. All the retards who watch Family Guy at my school say it's not funny, so obviously they don't like Futurama either. Not that I care. Fucking fart jokes and sex gags only appeal to them.
Don't be such an elitist snob. I'm probably the most intellectually sophisticated person you're ever likely to meet. I listen to Tchaikovsky, enjoy 1950's French cinema, smoke cigars and wear a damned monocle. (All true, apart from the monocle). I enjoy cerebral fare. And also cartoons. Futurama isn't an intelligent show, I'm sorry to say. Just because it has a few mathematical easter-eggs thrown in throughout does not make it smart, nor does it make you a sophisticated person for watching it. American Dad is even less of a cultural pinnacle. But they're good fun. That's all. And so is Family Guy. Only difference is that FG is based primarily in absurdist humour. Incidentally, so was Monty Python. You like Monty Python, don't you? Of course you do - you think you're smarter than other people; those folk you refer to as 'retards'. Anyway, all I wanted to really say is that you're misrepresenting the humour of FG somewhat unfairly - there's quite a lot more to it than toilet humour, and if you were half as intellectual as you seem to think you are, you'd be able to read through the lines. And it's really a matter of personal taste anyhow. Sometimes it's nice to just be able to laugh at something randomly hilarious.

a few Faimly Guy-esque jokes have started creeping into Season 6. For some reason though, I'm not finding those jokes funny in a Futurama setting, as where I might be more partial to them in a Family Guy setting... Because Futurama, as wacky as it can be, exists within a universe with well-established rules and continuity. Furthermore, its characters are all very well-defined and their fourth wall rarely even gets glanced at. For this reason, sudden OOC moments or blatant in-universe impossibilities will be jarring in a way that they aren't in the much more fluid, malleable world of Family Guy. I personally never got on-board with all the FG hate. With so few mainstream adult-oriented cartoons in existence, it doesn't do to be so picky. I blame the Internet. It's made everything appear to suck because one minor critique just snowballs through all the braindead parrots until an apparently unanimous contempt for a film or TV show emerges. That's why no modern works of film, television or literature will ever become "classics" - the net just breeds hate.

they only like it for the "dumb" jokes
Don't judge others for the things they derive enjoyment from. That's my job. on the whole, I'd say they're far smarter than average. Especially when it comes to comedy.
Which, of course, says very little.
