This show has always captivated me, every-time it was on I religiously watched it. The Simpsons have been lacking recently, as in the last several years... Family Guy albeit better than the Simpsons follows the same format of the Simpsons -- family in a suburb. I am tired of that and welcome the diverse adventures of the Planet Express crew rather than said suburb. Hopefully enough DVD sales coupled with Cartoon Network stellar performance of the series will signal its renewal.
