the simpsons blow now. i hope this new movie kinda re-vamps things

 

[Kevin]

I don't think it blows. It's different, yes. But it still has me watching every sunday. I've literally(sp?) been watching it all my life.

That's what I thought, too. But last week's episode focusing on Nelson & Bart's brief "best friendship" was one of the best episodes in the show's history.

I hope they show more about Fry's brother in the new episodes. The one about him is my favorite episode (It makes me cry everytime), and would love to see about his son going into space.

cool. thanx for the heads man!

Great show, very underrated, alot better than Family Guy and South Park.

 

[Duneboy]

Family guy is great. I think I'm alone when I say i've never been a south park fan.

Futurama is the best show ever! I'm buying those DVDs for sure!

Man, I haven't seen that (There are a lot of episodes I haven't watched yet). That just broke my heart

 

[Kevin]

damn...

I like the show a fair amount, and I've lobbied for a long time for them to somehow just move Bender into the Simpsons, because he's my favorite character. Come on, would it be that hard to just throw Bender in somewhere? He could be space age new help at the Quickie Mart, or the Power Plant? Who would complain about this?

 

[04nbod]

he was in the credits of a simpsons episode and i'm sure he has a line in one of them. i think futurama works as a team- i couldn't see fry without the rest of the gang

I never really liked South Park either. Futurama is just as good as Family Guy and its good to know there will new episodes in 2008.

On the contrary, I would have loved to have seen Homer in at least one Futurama episode. I know it would've been a favorite! He and Bender would become best buddies, and Fry would be jealous and all... The possibilities for something similar are endless.

Family Guy is funny, but its not really something to be invested in. It doesn't have the emotional context that is present in both Simpsons and Futurama. And South Park I never really liked - except for some epis here and there.

Futurama rocks all the way, no stinkin episode in its four season run (except MAYBE the "Spanish Fry", that one I didn't like at all). That says something...
