One Last New Episode of Futurama

Posted by michael on from the sweet-juicy-justice dept.

Ant writes "Futurama's last new episode airs tonight at 7:00 PM on Fox." If you're missing your fix, there's a Futurama website with entirely too much Futurama info.

  1. why is this show so popular? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Ive seen it a bunch of times, but i just cant get into it. Id even go as far as to say it sucks. Whats the appeal? Yea, ive seen the corny computer jokes from time to time, but is that all? Family guy was a much better show imho.

  2. Futurama Not As Good As Everyone Thinks by XplosiveX · · Score: -1, Troll

    Futurama was just never that good. Oh sure, there were were some excellent nuggets of writing there, but most of it was mired in cliche. And it couldn't really do surreality - Homer and co. have that covered, and most of the time it's very hit-and-miss anyway, and only Family Guy can get away with what it the really crazy shit (although considering its current status this is a bad example).

    But, of course, the fan-boys will be fan-boys and they do have to over-react. I mean 'slashed... into bloody pieces'? 'Gruesome attack'? All they did was decide not to buy any more episodes. Please people, get a clue.

  3. FUTURAMA SUCKS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Sorry, but get over Futurama.

    Futurama was to the Simpsons as the Jetsons was to the Flinstones.

    Futurama is nothing more than great Simpsons writing set in the future...the problem with that is that WE ALREADY HAVE THE SIMPSONS. At least when Mike Judge made "King of the Hill," which I don't like, but at least he didn't make it FOX's version of "Beavis & Butthead"

    Look at FOX: They aren't even putting out ads saying this is the series finale of Futurama, it's just simply canned because already have the Simpsons, and don't need "Simpsons in the future"

    If Matt Groening wants to make a new show, how about something completely different and NOT in the mold of the Simpsons? How about a little AKBAR & JEFF if you true Groening fans know what I'm talking about? I'd LOVE to see something based on characters from the BIG BOOK OF HELL. Not this Futurama wannabe Simpsons crap...
    H-e-l-l even Mike Judge used different animation between B&B and King of the Hill.
