No Right Answer: The Simpsons vs Futurama

[Serving UpSmiles]

The Simpson has the crying episodes too!
Remember when Lisa's Saxophone idol died (Bleeding Gums Murphy). I was crying at the end of the one.
Also all the great music that was in the episode.

Egh I thought that episode was just boring, Lisa's Sad, big woop isn't she a bit young to be sad?

My favorite episode has to be the one where Bart steals a video game from a store and gets caught, the guilt build up from Marge was so tear jerking good, and Bart showed what to do to make his Mum happy again, inspired me to love my Mum.

Nonsense, Simpsons can't win this!
Maybe 20 years ago...

Futurama is just so much better, because it's actually FUN.

Futurama for the win. The Simpsons has gone on long enough and now is losing steam. Here's another vs match, Seth Mcfarland's The Cleveland Show, vs Family Guy, Vs American Dad. 3 WAY! Go!

The Simpsons was quite good in the beginning, but now they are remaking many of the episodes that they already did. Last Sunday, What happens when the Simpsons grow up in 15-20 years? They already did that with a fortune teller telling Lisa that she will marry Millhouse. Now they just want to continue it?

Hmmm, you know, just do an Old Simpsons series similar to Rugrats All growed up. That'll break the stranglehold of Seth Mcfarland on Fox....

When was it said that Lisa would marry Millhouse? There's one episode where a fortune teller near a renaissance fair tells her she will fall in love with a wealthy English man and that they will split up right before the ceremony.

There's on where Lisa becomes president and Milhouse is the advisor when Bart breaks into a Indian casino.

There is one where Professor Frink let them they see themselves as teens where Lisa would lose her scholarship and thus end up marrying Milhouse, but Bart prevented that from happening after seeing what would come out of it.

It might be me being forgetful here, but I can't remember them being married in any other future than the one Bart prevented from happening.

OT: I like Futurama the best because there's more character depth. The Simpsons give me many good laughs, but the story is a lot better in Futurama. It's also new and the environment is a lot different and it doesn't put any limits on where they can be because of the space traveling. So in short character depth and the new jokes make it better.

Simpsons should have died long ago. I've watched them for a good 7-10 Seasons (cant really recall when i stopped) tried watching them recently... just not good. I would take futurama over the simpsons any day.

I'm honestly split by this one. The Simpsons have some truly great moments, but it's a show that should have ended a long time ago. Yet even then, I just can't quite compare the best of the Simpsons to Futurama. Consider me neutral.

I don't trust you neutral types. I mean at least I know where my enemies stand, but with you? Who knows.

damn you Zapp Brannigan! who let you in here?

This was, by far, the best episode I've seen. The arguments were logical, valid, and to the point between two comparable subjects.

Futurama is better... Simpsons is more popular...

that sums up my sentiments nicely

Futurama, no question. While I agree, the Ex Mas episodes are a problem, It was funny once, it wasn't funny 5 times later, there are plenty of good episodes out there. You can't really compare Treehouse of Horror to the Christmas episodes, they compare better to Anthology of interest.

Simpsons meanwhile.. It's time for it to wrap up and reach a conclusion. Good shows are getting canned left and right for it. Hell, Futurama was one of them. Groening got tired of that crap and took it to comedy central.
