NO. U. Wait.... No, Futurama is not similar to the Simpsons in any way. I hated all the references to it in the first Season, thank God they stopped, but they are constantly referencing the Simpsons in the Comics.

That's because The Simpsons is overflowing with fresh, hip ideas, even now. So much so that they've got nowhere else to put them other than in the Futurama Comics...

Now you are way off, my dear man. Futurama has a lot to thank the Simpsons for, and they are two shows that are very similar in style (compared to many other shows). Also, it's not like The Simpsons appeared a whole lot more in Futurama's first season. Most references are very nicely laid in as well.

Then what is the Flintstones?
And I see no connection between Futurama and the Simpsons, besides the fact that they are made by the same-ish people, and they often reference each other. The Simpsons is closer to Famiy Guy, not comedy wise, but characters and settings wise.

Whatever, I don't see a family getting into a ridiculous plot and nearly dieing or whatever every week as if it's a normal day on Futurama.

How many Simpsons episodes have you watched exactly? And were they all past season 19 or something?

A lot. Too many to remember. And I've seen a good amount from every Season.

A good amount from Seasons 13-22 would be about one episode...

Ooh, I know the answer to this one. I saw The Day the Violence Died. The Flintstones were a cartoon version of The Honeymooners.

Seymour wasn't run over. He just sat there waiting for Fry.
*facepalm* We're talking about American Dad! Kurt...

Oh, come on, Danny, those Simpsons references weren't that bad...
And they still do mention the Simpsons every now and then.
It is true that if The Simpsons hadn't existed, the likelihood is that Futurama wouldn't have either, or Family Guy, or American Dad starring Seymour’s long lost cousin...

This raises an interesting question, I wonder if Seymour and Santa's Little Helper would have gotten along ...
