I am curious if Nibler’s people still need Fry for some great purpose.

Top Ten Shows on Facebook?

Pfft. Like that’s representative of anything!

No, the data that REALLY matters is the 25,000 Neilson Rating homes! After all, what could be more meaningful than measuring a cherry-picked 0.02% of the estimated 116,000,000 television households in the United States and extrapolating from there? Certainly not listening to the opinions of 22,000,000 random people on that silly “world wide web” thing. I mean, for goodness sake! That’s all in cyberspace – they’re not even real people!

You ALL still have Zoidberg!

If 20th Century Fox had any common sence, they would have cancelled in The Simpsons instead. At least Futurama has better storylines and much better jokes, whereas the Simpsons continues to decline in quality!
Can’t wait for Season 7! I hope there’s a great Fry/Leela story arc!

Why not Zoidberg??

Perhaps, but I’m not watching Futurama to be all bummed out. I’m watching it for the silly jewish lobsters and other stereotypes.

When that dog blinks twice at the end and then closes his eyes…gets me every time.

I take issue with that! Eureka has less to do with science than Star Trek.

Adult Swim brought Futurama back. They also brought back Family Guy. Even though they broadcast on the same channel as Cartoon Network they are not the same thing. I think you should change the article so Adult Swim gets full credit and people can check out their other shows.

I can’t wait for the new season but the newer episodes completely crap on the continuity of the early seasons.

Another favorite, partly because it’s something very hard to do: a perfectly balanced joke about a controversial subject, which makes fun of both sides in a way both sides can laugh at:

Fry: “Fetal stem cells? Aren’t those controversial?”
Professor: “In your time, yes. But nowadays, shut up! Besides, these are adult stem cells, harvested from perfectly healthy adults, whom I killed for their stem cells.”

I seriously can’t watch it, I turn it off just before the final scene. Bawl my head off every time.

Listen to David talk about the dog episode. I hate that episode because it was so sad. But does that mean I loved it because they touched my heart?

Needs more episodes like The Late Philip J. Fry and less of the other self referential filler junk that the rest of the new season had.

Agreed. The Fry’s dog episode had it all–great jokes and still moving.

I disagree on at least one point – the episode with Fry’s dog was one of the more touching stories I’ve seen on television in the last 10 years.

Please please please please please give us Futurama Classic quality. The show took a really bad turn with Fry’s dog, Hermes’ son, Kif and Amy’s romance, etc. etc. To say nothing of the movies.

Futurama is one of the greatest shows ever. Saying the big bang theory is good is like saying white people in black-face doing vaudeville is an accurate depiction of black people.

Good news, everyone!

I’d list “Community” among its friendly competitors, too. It takes the same approach to all the references and in-jokes as “Futurama.” They fly by so fast you have to watch episodes twice or more to see all of them. It also has the same sort of structure: big warm fuzzy secret heart nestled inside an exoskeleton of cleverness. I just hope “Community” survives all its trials with the same grace and aplomb as “Futurama.”

What does Matt Groening’s signature mean? That he drew the picture, or that he “approves” it

Are you speaking about its flow or its frequency?
