adam Here in the year 2017, just eighteen years into Fry's long-term freeze, it's hard to imagine what will happen over the next several centuries. There will be alien invasions, more alien invasions, and yet more alien immigration, and emigration. Us Earthicans will have a number of world governments, ultimately culminating in the wonderful talents of Earth President Richard Milhouse Nixon. Yet through it all, we will have Futurama to keep us company. It will tell our futures, yes, but it will also make us laugh, as it has for nearly twenty years now. At its most basic, Futurama is a hilarious show. Its consistent high- quality in both humor and heart is good to see, as is its originality in storytelling. It sometimes leans too much into the show's own universe of inside jokes, but it never stays there too long to be very boring. There are also a fair number of much more serious episodes. One about Fry's long suffering dog comes to mind.For a show set more than nine hundred years in the future, Futurama is astonishingly ahead of its time. A true comedic masterpiece.(I have seen this show many, many times over the past several years.)

webberrules Futurama is one of the few adult animated television series I enjoy.The Bad: 1. Humour can be overly rude at times, but does not ruin the series much.The Good: 1. Likable cast of characters, with the likes of Fry, Leela, Bender, Professor Farnsworth, Dr. Zoidberg, Hermes, Zapp Brannigan and Amy. 2. Excellent voice acting courtesy of Billy West, Katey Segal, John DiMaggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, David Herman and Frank Welker. 3. The animation may not be high art, but it has its unique appeal. 4. The writing is very good, with well-written episodes and funny humour. 5. One of the few adult animated shows that realises the balance of not being too politically correct, but not being too mean-spirited at the same time, just like The Simpsons. This show is a good example of showing that political correctness and freedom of speech are by no means dichotomous, which is what shows like South Park have a really bad habit of presenting. 6. Character designs are simple, yet appealing at the same time.Matt Groening knows how to balance his humour and two of his shows are evidence of it. Futurama is a fantastic series, but it is not as good as The Simpsons, in my opinion.

derpypikmin Futurama really is one of the smartest series of our time. Not every episode was gold, but some were the best that animation could offer. Unfortunately, Fox canned it because of "low ratings" and I hear the same thing happened with Comedy Central. But at least CC gave it a dignified ending. Nevertheless, the episodes we have are truly outstanding and showcase the shining qualities of the writing, animation, and themes. Definitely worth watching and buying the DVD's. Not to mention, without Futurama, we likely wouldn't have shows like Rick and Morty... let that sink in. Futurama is just one of the greatest sci-fi series of all time.

meganphipps ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ANIMATED PROGRAMMES OUT THERE. Futurama is one of the shows that when I when I flick through the channels and see it pop up I always stop to watch it no matter what. I have loved this programme for so long now and I still love it, it has amazing characters which their story develops through out all the seasons. My favourite character has to be Leela, she is smart, funny, a leader and has awesome purple hair and one of my favourite moments in this programme has to be when they get crossed over with The Simpsons it was funny and hilarious. If you like sci-fi or just like adult humour then this is for you. As Bender says 'Bite my shiny metal ass.'
