I'll have to agree with uber.munkee - CBG is Awesome.

I must be very weird - I've never watched the Simpsons. really.

The Simpsons sucks. Futurama is a superior show. Smarter, funnier, more interesting, better story, better characters, better animation, better everything.

Simpsons was something new when i began watching in way back in primary school (aka before 1995) - past 3 series, it got old and now they are grasping for ideas.
Futurama is definately a lot better but Simpsons still has another 4-5 more series to do and hopefully Matt will stop milking it and leave a little shread of happyness at the though of a once good show.
This was the same with Friends - again - way too many series and pushing it - thank god they ended it and will never bring it back!

Maybe now, but back in the 90s, it was the only one of its kind. Christ it's been on what, like 22+ years? I grew up on it. I watch it now and again and I can't believe they keep finding more storylines for it.

I entirely agree with solid. It really is unfair to comape the two. Also, I don't know if anyone has the same opinion, but it seems Futurama is growing slightly stale. I hope it takes awhile before they reach rock bottom though.

what you will find is at the time simpsons came out - it was new, something different and very tongue in cheek at the time it was released at a time where despite it being early 90s, they were only just becoming risque in tv ideas. we are desensitised to everything now and we have seen it all and sadly Simpsons never kept up with the viewers. I wont fib, i do still watch it. i still chuckle it but i find it is now a name drop show - oh look U2 is on, and Elton John, and theres Tony Blair.

Futurama is different because its stuff that hasnt been covered.............yet - because its in space/future - but no doubt Matt will run it into the ground! Call him the Lucas of Cartoons!*sorry to star wars fans*

sadly, and i really hate myself for saying it - Family guy is following the trend - I am eagerly awaiting the Cleavland Show hoping for some miracle change to a enjoyable but sadly overrun show.

I believe it is the concept which causes problems - cartoons - cartoons you can get away with so much, thus giving you more opportunities to create more - and you have never ending ideas of what to do with your characters - i think they should demand a 5 season max limit on cartoons.
I found with shows which were sadly axed - i.e God the Devil and Bob, Father of the Pride, Stressed Eric - i want more - i remember them fondly and have no bad opinions of them and would love to think of more - but creators want to milk every last storyline out of it!
