    Glad to hear it's coming back. hide « show »

    I am so glad to hear that Futurama is coming back. It is one of the best shows ever and definitely my choice for the best animated series of all time. I also like The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad and South Park but Futurama stands head and shoulders above all of those other shows, the only one even close is South Park and maybe older episodes of Family Guy. Bender is probably the most hilarious character in any TV show ever and all of the other characters are great too with obviously great voice actors and the writing is always superb, I can't wait for the new episodes!

    The most entertaining and well written cartoon show to date. hide « show »

    Futurama was first introduced to me as it was reruns on Comedy Central, but I was hooked on it from the first showing of the first episode. Unlike many of the other comedy cartoons, futurama is able to insert a deep storyline into its cartoons that directly correlates into its comedy. The artwork of the show is nice and crisp and clean while the futuristic setting correlates nicely with the overall apeal and storyline of the show, along with more of the main comedy points. The introduction to the show must have had to be the most complicated in its time, and it shows how much effort the writers and animators had put into it. The jokes are appropriate but funny and have never crossed the moral line of these other shows. The only sad thing is that FOX had canceled it, which was a big mistake.

    Quite possibly the best show EVER MADE!!! :D

    I always try to catch it every night it's on TV, I love it so much.

    I love it because it's so funny and well-done. :)
    And I really don't have much else to say about this show, other than that I love it and wish it could be back on Adult Swim again.

    Artwork: 10/10
    Very well done.

    Animation: 10/10
    Shows that they must have put a lot of time and effort into it.

    Humor: 9/10
    Pretty funny.

    Characters: 10/10
    I like all of the characters. Especially Bender, lol.

    Overall, I would give this show a 10/10. Too bad they don't make anymore new episodes.
