Futurama vs Simpsons

[Skynet12]

O.k- its basicaly self-explanitary really insn't it?

[liberdave]

Futurama owns - Hypnotoad commands it.

[DontBeAfraid]

I like both but I own the entire futurama series... Like I actually had to buy the DVD's.

Its kinda sad it was so short lived. That and live action The Tick.

[mickydoolittle]

I admit I like both...Like DBA I purchased the Futurama series on DVD...it is indeed unfortunate that it had such a short run.

My fav episodes: Jurassic Bark & Parasites Lost & Fry & The Slurm Factory.

Fry & The Slurm Factory

Like DBA and Micky im a big fan of both but I probaly do perfer Futurama a little more than Simpsons if had to choose and Fry and The slurm factory is my absoulte fav futurama episode.

[DontBeAfraid]

My fav episodes: .... Fry & The Slurm Factory.

What are those horrible little creatures?
Tell them I hate them!

OK! DBA! I'll tell them! Shit!

One of my favorite Futurama episodes is The Sting, I admit, I actually teared up after the first time I saw it.

[DontBeAfraid]

Ya, that one and the dog one... right at hte end... when it showed the dog waiting.. For a comedy it could really tell a sad story sometimes.

[grendel 13]

i don't know the name, but i caught the episode where bender is launched into space and an asteroid hits him and he becomes like a god to the inhabitants of the asteroid. that episode had me laughing my a$$ off.

jeebus DBA...I gave you the frickin' episode name right here...or you can read below if you're still that lazy.

....Jurassic Bark

"Seymour"

Godfellas

I like both, but probably have more Simpsons dvds than futurama.
(Futurama=0, Simpsons=15)
But thats only cos I record simpsons of channel 4 onto dvd!

Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was making a reference to your post....

I hear things in my head that I dont always type.... I guess I left out "the dog one(that MD mentioned)"... but ya it was very sad.

Professor. lava. hot.

[Skynet12]

Oh, yeah- that one was on 4 the other day- sad, but still good! Just shows how crap the security is around cryogenic centres, dont it!?

One of my favorite Futurama episodes is The Sting, I admit, I actually teared up after the first time I saw it.

That episode rules! It was kinda like that movie, Vanilla Sky- for a vast majority of the episode, you are actually watching a dream, and only at the very end do you find it out! Talk about reversed dramatic irony!

...and 3 spoonfuls can kill.

Its all over the place! Just as you think its over, it happens and then the next thing happens!

[Perfectionist]

I can't believe people buy the DVD's to Simpsons, Futurama or Friends or whatever ...... all these SitComs are constantly being repeated on a dozen different channels at any one time !!

[Skynet12]

Tell me bout it- BBC2 showed seasons 1-8 19 times!! And as for c4 showing season 2-5 8 times in less than 6 months-?????WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

yeah you can see them all the time on t.v. but when were all 80 years old these things will be collectors items. you'll see me on the antiques road show displaying my dvd sets of the simpsons and tales from the crypt, my jaw will drop to the floor when the appraisor tells me that they could fetch up to a trillion yen( after the worlds been taken over by the chinese of course,lol).

[Skynet12]

Dunno if the chinese would appreciate it, though- you must admit, It is a great show----------WHEN IT ISNT ON 73647326489236598326598719857 TIMES A FORTNIGHT!!!!!

True ..... but by then nobody will want DVD's as there will be 3D holographic versions !! Every time a new format comes out, the publishers love it cos they get to sell the same old stuff all over again !!

PS - The Chinese currency is yuan .... yen is Japanese

thanks for the clarification. and also just because something is obsolete doesn't mean it is worthless, i mean why the hell else would some one pay 2 million for a baseball or why do celebrities buy jeans with holes in them that are more expensive than jeans without holes in them. as it stands dvd's are already obsolete, the bluray disc will be it's replacment, and it will start with the release of the ps3.

[Demonskates]

I always liked the simpsons better,but there are a few really great futurama episodes for sure.

True ..... DVD's and DVD Players will probably become future antiques much like old Vinyl records !!

Not so sure about BluRay automatically becoming the next standard though, as HD-DVD is gonna fight long and hard to kick Sony's ass ......

Personally, I cant wait for HVD and Protein Discs : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc

wow! i hadn't even heard of these things, it just goes to show how crazy the technological advances are becoming, before i even have the chance to try out "the next best thing" it's become obsolete by "the next better thing." oh well.

There has to be a point where technology reaches a limit and cannot be improved any further ..... ??

that's what i've often wondered. i mean what the hell are we gonna end up with a tiny little dot that can do anything we want it too?
