And of course, the best reason "Futurama" is the greatest... is I am still alive and still President!

We’re whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon.
But there ain’t no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.

Love Futurama. Off teleprompter now. Popular science magazine of old monthly Gasoline Alley? Model Garage, Gus Wilson’s problem solving skill and shop entourage interaction was a real pleasure to read and instructional too. Miss the good old days in more ways thanONE

The few episodes I’ve seen of this cartoon are okay in a quirky, benign sort of way. It’s certainly easier to wacth Futurama than some of the other new cartoons. Adult Swim, for instance, has some very dark, rough, mean adventures. If I visit somebody and they’re watching Adult Swim, I usually end of leaving the room or ignoring it after a short while. Even The Family Guy has it’s moments of perversion and meanness. I suppose that is what sells these days.

It's not that is was the best, it's more that there were no other good future shows.
I liked it a lot and I love sci-fi but I'm starving for good shows so this one had to do.
It's more irreverent comedy than hard science fiction.
Most future shows are set only decades or a few hundred years from now, Futurama boldly took it forward a thousand years.

Loved the first run, but it lost quite a bit when it came back years later.

There were a couple of good epis, but they did a horrible job on their initial Christmas return.

If you have the DVDs, make sure that you listen to the Audio commentaries. They are as funny as the show.

Leela....L E E L A Leela!

The best? Maybe not but in my top ten.

I cried at the end. I own all the shows, watch them over and over again, and have to say, there are three episodes that have stayed with me all these years, and still haunt me. The one with Fry’s dog. Can’t see it again, cried for days after. the one where Bender finds out who his “father” is when he goes to Mexico, and the finale, with Fry and Leela as. One of the greatest TV love stories ever.

I hope the series isn’t dead. It will live on in my heart in re runs true, but maybe it can live on. I can hope.

I want to be added to the science fiction list, please.

Nice piece of trivia

The finale aired on the guy who voices Benders 45th birthday.

should we wish you happy belated birthday Mr. Bender?
