    Futurama's been on the air so long they should name the season-1 DVD's "Pastarama".

    I was going to mod you down, but instead I wasted your time by making you read this and the original poor post.

    We're here! We're queer! We're super excited that Futurama's near!

    And I have GOT to say that the alt-universe styles in The Farnsowrth Paradox were way better than the tired colors in the rest of the series.

    Ciao! Have a super day!

    Last I checked, Canada has Internet connections, so, yes, it is.

    So the problem remains that the general public doesn't get it. The general public won't get anything with more depth than the Simpsons, unfortunately.

    Right, she's a one-eyed mutant with an ancient alien for a pet, and he's his own time traveling grandson. You'd think they'd have more to talk about.

    How often do you hear, "Would you like to sign my petition to bring back Tru Calling and Fish Police?"

    Futurama definitely takes a much keener intellect to really appreciate.

    I know what you mean. Like when Bender's drinking a beer, at first I'm like "WTF, robots drink beer?!? That does not make sense!" But then after subsequent viewings, I come to the realization that his internal power source must be some sort of combustion engine, so really he's just refueling, but sometimes the waste water from his internal distillation process leaks onto his circuitry, which makes him behave erratically. Only then do I really appreciate the joke.
