A character from "Game of Thrones", I assume. (Or rather the actress playing said character, to be sufficiently nitpicking  )

Actually, she's not in the "Game of Tones" episode.
No? Forget what I said... * Come-on Nibbler! Use your mind erease eye, pleasee? ZAP!* What other TV comedy was even good throughout the 90s? One Foot in the Grave (1990-1999) Red Dwarf (1990-1999) The Larry Sanders Show (1992-1998) Beavis & Butt-head (1993-1999) The Day Today (1994) Friends (1994-1999) Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge (1994-1995) Father Ted (1995-1998) The Adam & Joe Show (1996-1999) Pond Life (1996-1999) Brass Eye (1997) Daria (1997-1999) I'm Alan Partridge (1997) King of the Hill (1997-1999) South Park (1997-1999) Big Train (1998) Bob and Margaret (1998-1999) The Royle Family (1998-1999) Family Guy (1999) Futurama (1999) Home Movies (1999) Spaced (1999)
And Seinfeld was garbage.
You forgot Married With Children! That was a hit! It was one of the best sitcoms, and for very good reasons too.
Now look, that's one show I know! I don't like it very much tough... Not my type of humor

You missed Everybody Loves Raymond.
Wrong. Everybody Loves Raymond only began in 1996. I had stated that my list only includes series with at least 7 years in the 1990s. Please make sure your facts are correct before attacking a post.
Jesus, no need to call something an "attack". I just missed one detail, I thought you meant shows that lasted seven seasons and started in the 90's. But anyway, back to the topic on Futurama's news. We currently have nothing, so I guess posting for now wouldn't make much sense until something new comes up.

Also, with Attack of the Killer App, at least almost everybody knows what is being referenced. With things like YOLO, I'm not sure all of the Futurama viewers would quite get the reference. I say this because I think a fairly large amount of fans are somewhat older, say 40s and up, and many of the people I know that age don't know what YOLO or "swag" are exactly. I think the pop culture references need to be used sparingly and well-known by all age groups.
I'm 25 and I feel too old for an episode based on YOLO and swag! Seriously though, I'm not a big fan of pop-culture jokes in Futurama, because they age badly. I remember ATKA airing - my first thought after seeing it was that it was probably hysterical when the writers came up with the idea, but the year it took to bring it to the screen really detracted from the joke. It felt stale by then. (Susan Boil? Case in point.) I prefer jokes that last longer, like the "Kegel"-sizer machine in the gym (from Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love?) or Us People Magazine - "The Magazine More Women Deny Reading!" (from The Thief of Baghead). Worst News Thread EVER!!!
The 90's comedy debate has gotten out of hand. Of course there was good comedy in the 90s, but "taste" is such a subjective concept that we're not all going to agree on what qualifies. It's fun to debate it, but at the same time . . . opinion is not fact. So play nice, kids.
