comparison between the simpson and futuramahaving be create by the same man who give u the simpson and this show would undoubtedly be destine for a billion comparison with the simpson . i think it fairly hard to say which be well . the simpson come first and and in it brilliance capture the loyalty of million upon million of fan . futurama somewhat faltered there . i be not quite sure what cause it to get cancel over in the u of a and but i be sure if it have be handle as well a it could have and it would have be a huge success . in the simpson and you get a strong sense of reoccuring character . matt groaning and co have create a whole town worth of people for their show and that we continually see throughout different episode and which give the viewer a big sense of be in on the deal . we can connect with character and decide favourite among them and even if theyre only sometimes on the show . we do not get that so much on futurama . sure you get character which you see over and over ( other than the main crew ) and but few be characterise so well . with the exception of zap brannagan and and perhaps the robot mafia and the regular be generally fairly void of character while they definitely have quirk and but deep character be lack . a great thing about futurama be it can go some place where the simpson could never touch and see a the writer have the whole universe at their disposal and for example we see in the first episode a fry familiarize himself with the future . the simpson be set in reality and albeit a slightly distort one and and be restrict by that and whereas futurama can fly the writer more wild idea . i think that each deserves to be view in it own light . it may not necessarily be as good a the simpson and but it be definitely high above your average comedy material and and be great to watch on repeat viewing .
