I used to like The Simpsons more, but lately I've been shown the light of Futurama. Such great humor, such lovable characters (especially Zoidberg!). Now don't get me wrong, i like The Simpsons a lot, but i have to agree, the newer episodes go way too much into the category of "randomness". I mean, that Futurama episode with the dog, and the one with the clover... Jesus.
But that's just my opinion.

Good news everyone! I've invented a device that makes Futurama more popular than the Simpsons, I call it the "Farnsworth"...it also makes little children afraid of the dark, and for good reason! damn those little children with their courage and non-reliance on diapers.
I guess simpsons because it's the only one which I have seemed to watch on the trot for years before getting bored...however I am waiting for the other to hit dvd.
I agree there are more shit episodes now (which is why I think they should all stop) but you make it sound like we should forget when it was great. That's how I'm judging it, when both shows were at their peak, episodes so good you can come back to them over and over.Seventh Actuality said:
Very hard question. Because I've always found Futurama to be stupid and unfunny. The Simpsons was funny a while ago, but now it's even worse than Futurama. Futurama is at least consistently bad, but the Simpsons actually made me laugh at some point, albeit that was a very long time ago.
The Simpsons from season 3 up until season 10, or liberally 12. They managed to make everything funny with normal, everyday subjects. Sure they stretched things, like Homer getting his head stuck in a drawbridge, but it didn't need to resolve to annoying crab aliens or amoral robots.
I still LIKE Futurama, especially since the Simpsons went down the shitter around 2002, but it doesn't compare the the Golden Days

The Simpsons will always have its high points, but it will never top the genius of Futurama.
I think alot of it has to do with the Simpsons run time on telivision. Cause it seems like the majority output is kinda bored with the large amount of it we got in the past 15 years.

I prefer Futurama over the Simpsons, mainly because there seems to be more character development that actually sticks. Leela and Fry being closer (emotionally speaking) post revival for example. Also, as part of the character development angle, Futurama can go into greater depth than the Simpsons.
Sure, there was a Simpsons episode where Maude Flanders died (killed in a t-shirt cannon accident if I'm not mistaken) but it didn't match the emotional depth of 'Jurassic Bark', 'Luck of the Fryish', The Sting' or 'Lethal Inspection'.
Plus I like the sci-fi angle more.

Futurama has Zapp Brannigan, game over.
Billy West's cadence is perfect. I feel bad watching Futurama because it makes me somewhat glad Phil Hartman was murdered.
