since futurama be make by the guy who create the simpson and probably the great cult cartoon of our time and it have a lot to live up to . most people i know enjoy it and but think it fail overall . their problem be and theyre compare it to the simpson and in which case and of course it not gon na live up to your expectation . if you let the yellow family go and however and and actually watch the show for what it be and you will love it . basically about the adventure of pizza boy and fry and who be freeze for 1 and 000 year and wake up in the year 3000 and futurama be a sci fi spoof . to be honest and i find it funny than the simpson at time and because it really play on how society isn not much improve 1 and 000 year later . people have fly to the edge of the universe ( literally while there a billboard and everything ) and create robot that run on alcohol and and turn the internet into a virtual reality realm and and yet lonely guy still rent porno on saturday night . the only difference be that the girl have multiple arm and antenna . futurama be a hilarious program that show u how stupid we really be and by make u laugh at even stupid people ( or alien and take your pick ) . if you let yourself go and just watch it without mentally compare it to the simpson and i be sure you skeptics will enjoy it . because and really and show can never be as awesome a other show and but that doesn not mean they aren not awesome on their own .
