Nice thing about him is that the general idea of a robot is that they are always serving and helping and supporting, but Bender does not. He lies, cheats, steals Then the supporting cast has the cute and horny Chinese or Japanese? I like Futurama because it creates an unexpected, yet tempting future and combines it with cunning references and a strange comedy style.
It's range of poking is 'wider'.. Futurama can turn any depressed mood to a happy mood if just the watcher accepts the fact that show does not require a deep concentration for the whole concept, but likes to catch it slowly by using trivial extras and nicely planted sci-fi references. This show was one of the best. It's a pity that it was canceled an I pity the fool who canceled it. Such things should continue till the end of time.. Thanks to the makers of DVD, they partially do. Futurama is mandatory for all sci-fi and comedy lovers, and highly recommended for everyone else.
I actually like it better than The Simpsons Aaron 10 March Don't get me wrong, I like the Simpsons, but there is just something about Futurama that I like more. It irks me to see people who hate this show and are glad it is cancelled. If you don't like a show just don't watch it I am sure to all those who hated the show, there have been shows you liked that have been cancelled as well. This one about a pizza boy frozen and waking up in the future was for me quite enjoyable.
Which is the kiss of death right there, because if I like a show, it usually does get cancelled and it usually does have a pretty good following, but for some reason the networks still somehow think all shows should average 20 or more million viewers or its a failure. FistOfNoRemorse 13 February Futurama is an absolutely hilarious show. The jokes are great and the characters are unique. Fry's stupidity is hilarious. Bender is great. The professor says some really funny stuff, especially the insults he comes up with.
The whole show is an entertaining, comic masterpiece. I was actually pretty surprised at how good the last season was. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm deeply saddened that this show is canceled.. It's better than a couple of the adult animated series that are still running on Sunday nights.
The last season was so funny that it made us even more confused that it's being canceled. How is this happening when some other terrible junk is still on the air?? It's a brilliant show. The creators did an excellent job and I'd love to thank them for this. It's worth watching again and again! I will miss seeing new episodes. Equal parts clever, hilarious, and moving, Futurama is the greatest animated series ever. Li-1 25 October There's an equal mix of cool sci-fi tales, brilliantly creative humor, and the addition of genuine heart that made this show unbeatable.
As the show wound to a close, the series satisfyingly touched on many emotional levels that most shows, animated or otherwise, wouldn't even dare approach with a ten-foot pole most exemplified by Jurassic Bark.
Special mention must definitely go out to the final episode, The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings, which is one of the series' best episodes the only flaw being the lack of screen time given to Farnsworth , full of big laughs Dan Castallaneta's guest role as the Robot Devil is priceless and a strong emotional climax, capping off with a touching final scene that provides a sense of closure between the love and burgeoning romance of heroes Fry and Leela, while still keeping an open door for future possibilities.
No doubt, it's been a great four seasons. This show is so brilliant you don't deserve to watch it. Futurama is one of my all time favorite cartoon series.
Never gets old. This show is so smart and funny. Why FOX ever canceled this show is beyond me. Instead they have crappy programs like that lie detector game show and other lame junk. Adult Swim was dumb for no longer having Futurama in its nightly line up. It is the only reason I watched it. As far as it being on Comedy Central, at least it is still on the air. Looking at all the nominations and wins the series received while on the air with FOX just proves how dumb FOX was to cancel the show.
They brought back Family Guy. It's such a shame that Futurama has been cancelled, for I feel the producers and cast had a lot more episodes planned and a lot more stories to tell.
I don't know why FOX cancelled Futurama, other than: 1 It's funny - much funnier than most other programmes on the network. Unlike many other cartoons, there has been a lot of character development. Yep, I can see why FOX cancelled it.
Start watching Futurama and you'll be hooked. TheLittleSongbird 27 April Now that is not to say the Simpsons is bad or anything, I really like it, but it has jumped the shark for a few years now. Futurama is everything I love an animated series to be, funny, original and witty. I seriously don't know where to begin praising the show. Well for one thing the animation is amazing.
The characters are really well drawn, the backgrounds are audacious and the visual effects are eye-popping. And the music is brilliant, it is cleverly composed with some funky songs featuring such as "Conga" and "Sunshine of Your Love" and the theme tune is definitely memorable.
The writing is outstanding, the comedy works brilliantly and the more touching and subtle parts work just as well. The episode ideas springing from a brilliant concept are really original and fun, and the pacing is great. And the characters with the help of a truly talented voice cast are really unique and endearing, especially Fry, Bender and Zoidberg, and Leela is a feisty and headstrong character that I related to immediately.
Overall, a truly wonderful show, with all the fun and originality that are lacking in the later episodes of the Simpsons. TorontoLiver 25 June As most of us know, Futurama is a really, really funny show, and every character has something special about them. There is nothing wrong with this show at all!
I don't see any flaws, and I don't care if there are any. This is a show with a truly touching and hilarious story line. The show is about Phillip J. Fry, a 25 year old pizza man who gets frozen in a test tube in a New York City lab on December 31, Poor Fry accidentally falls into the tube and can't get out.
He is finally unthawed on December 31, , exactly years later. He gets out of the tube and is mortified with what he sees, and at the same time, ecstatic. He hated his job as a pizza boy, which is what he did that for a living. When he came out of the tube, he meets Turanga Leela, another major character. The character of Zapp Brannigan was originally written with actor Phil Hartman in mind for the voice, but he was tragically killed before he would have begun recording.
There's also a bit of Hartman's signature, Troy McClure-esque sound in there. Would it be a human voice, or something more synthesized like Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet? The crew auditioned dozens and dozens of voice actors in an attempt to find the perfect Bender, with no luck. At first he auditioned for the role of Professor Farnsworth, using a boorish, drunken voice he partially based on Slim Pickens. With Billy West providing the jowly voice of the former Commander-in-Chief, Nixon became a villain for a whole new generation.
In addition to Cohen, Futurama is staffed by a roster of Ivy League graduates with backgrounds in science and math. But while writing one episode, the staff had created a plot so complex that the crew soon found itself stumped. It was like a nightmarish SAT problem for the staff. I would bet money that "it's not enough like Super Mario Bros. Mainstream folks want to laugh right now. Instant gratification. They'll catch four or five minutes of Futurama and if it's not instantly funny to them, they will tune out.
Bash Family Guy all you want, but you can tune into any episode, at any point, and you'll be able to laugh. There's no story or characters to worry about--it's like watching a room full of 30 writers pitching gags to you, one after the other, without ever stopping.
When I was dating my wife, a fan friend of mine sat down and we showed her some episodes. My friend said to her "look--you might not think this is the best show ever, at first. But you are going to keep watching it until you agree that it is the best show ever".
And that's exactly what happened. She didn't quite get it at first, but soon she got to know the characters a little better, and got into the storytelling style of the show, and now she is a fan. I wish more people would give it a chance! I shouldn't have to tie people down and force them to watch a dozen episodes just to get them to like it. FishyJoe is right. It requires people to invest in watching the show a couple of times to get it; most don't want to do that. It's like Fishy said regarding his wife; she didn't get it at first, but warmed up to it once she got to know the characters.
I'm the guy who started this on the Futurama Madhouse Message Board. I will give the link to the "Other people's reasons for not liking Futurama" on the Futurama Madhouse.
Quote from: mazda07 on Futurama fans as I sorta said somewhere else let us never lower ourselves to some fandoms out there, which have insane fans who beat people up or kill them. We must respect them if even they hate Futurama , and if you want to get someone into Futurama do it through peaceful means. I don't find it that hard to get into unlike say Arrested Development.
Futurama was easy to get into imo but I watched it from Day One. And now that I have become a fan of Star Trek due to its heavy presence in Futurama I laugh even more at the jokes. Some people don't like cartoons, some people don't like science fiction; I'd say those are probably the two biggest reasons. I've got friends that doesn't like the voice acting, calling it "annoying", etc. Futurama's got the best voice acting ever. I've heard some say the humor is too crude. I told them that any crude-ness in Futurama is nothing compared to say, Family Guy.
Quote from: Zmithy on Quote from: Louiswuenator on I remember years ago I'm talking, like, 9 or 10 years ago. It was still on FOX, then a teacher of mine saying that it was just "too weird" and that "the woman with the one eye" was too perturbing to her.
I also remember, back during the original run, that sometimes I would mention Futurama and people would say "oh yeah, that show I think some of them had seen it and even liked it but just never really caught it thanks to FOX's mishandling of the series. It was just "that other show" from the Simpsons guy.
