  • This is what television was invented for.

    Futurama is arguably one of the best shows mankind has to offer. Arguably, it came back stronger when it was revived instead of becoming a shambling corpse like Family Guy.
  • The best cartoon.

    Creative writing, fantastic settings and characters really set Futurama far ahead of every other animation on television.
  • My 200th Review

    This is my 200th review and I wanted to review Futurama for my 200th review. In my opinion, Futurama is a great show and I really love this show much as I love The Simpsons but I like Futurama more than The Simpsons. I hated that Comedy Central canceled this show. Also I can't believe that some people thinks Futurama went downhill after It got revived. Only Family Guy went downhill after It got revived. I don't think Futurama went downhill after It got revived. I like the revived version of Futurama just like the old version. Also I love all the movies of this show too. The animation is similar to The Simpsons because the creator of this show is the creator of The Simpsons. Only difference is that characters are not yellow. Also this show makes me laugh too. I think the funniest characters of this show are Zoidberg and Bender and they both are my favorite characters. Zoidberg is probably the funniest alien, I've ever seen and he always makes "whoop whoop whoop" noises and eats everything. Bender is the funniest robot, I've ever seen and he always says "bite my shiny metal ass". The other characters are not very funny as Zoidberg and Bender but they can be funny sometimes too. Also this show is a sci-fi show too and that's why I love this show more than other adult cartoons. I recommend this show to everyone. This show is fun to watch. I wish this show didn't get canceled. I hope FOX or another channel brings this show back. 10/10moreless
  • Easily One of the Best Adult Cartoons ever made.

    In case you don't know Futurama is about Phillip J. Fry. A slacker, pizza deliver boy who's given a second chance at life when he's frozen and brought to the year 3000. He meets numerous strange people, like a cyclops humanoid Alien named Leela, a lovable drinking and smoking robot, Bender. His 'nephew' Professor Farnsworth, Dr. Zoidberg (one of the funniest characters ever put into a show), and many more.



    Now I must say being a fan of the Simpsons I decided to watch this getting a netflix. And I decided to watch this and some other shows. But by far Futurama is the best thing I've watch on netflix. The plots are story driven and always switch gears 1/3 through the episodes like the Simpsons. But they make tons of jokes, some pop-cultural, some just well-placed jokes. I guarantee most of them will make a normal person laugh. But the best part are the characters. I like every character on this show. Fry, Bender, Leela, Prof. Farnsworth, Dr. Zoidberg, Hermes, Zapp Branigan, Kif, all provide great laughs. Except Amy, I don't know what it is but her 'pretty girl meets tomgirl' stereotype rubs me the wrong way. Every episode provides jokes and intresting stories. Whether it's screwball episodes like 'War is the H-Word" or "Amazonian Women in the Mood" or more drama filled ones like "Jurassic Bark" or "The Luck of Fryish". Every time I watch this show it always keeps me occupied for 22 minutes.



    I recently heard that Futurama is getting canceled. Which kind of makes me sad, but at least it won't be run into the ground like The Simpsons, Spongebob, or SNL. Futurama's legacy will live on and it will remain a fan-favorite for years to come.moreless
