Poll: Simpsons Vs Futurama...?

[hardlymotivated]

hmmm i was pretty shocked to see Futurama was more popular.... i like simpsons but ive never sat down n watched Futurama...

You ought to. It's a really cleverly written show, and the comedy's suited towards a very wide audience.

I think my avatar reveals which of the shows I prefer, haha.

Actually I love both of them, but I'd prefer Futurama if both of them are running at the same time :]. I am quite sure most of the younger TV watchers prefer Simpsons, because they are just wayy more popular in Austria.

My dad watched futurama ages ago, that's how it all began for me

 

[Fairee]

Neither is better.

And how long till this gets locked? vs. threads never go down well around here...

I vote for Futurama, but I really prefer South Park over both.

Simpsons, I never really liked Futurama as much as the (good and old!) Simpsons, they still kick ass.

Futurama. Had this thread been established a month or two ago, the reverse would have been so, but I had enjoyed good luck and not seen a "normal" episode of the Simpsons past series 12 (only ones based around a guest star, eg. that excellent Ricky Gervais written/starred one). Then, in the last two months, I saw a lot of Futurama reruns and a number of "newer" Simpsons eps. And I saw which show had true longevity and humour and should have lasted 20 years. It was not the yellow people.

For me it would have to be futurama.

Just look at my avatar what do you think I'm gonna pick Meatbag

Futurama is the place where Matt could live out his wildest creations, the infinitive space is the only limit, and combined with his brilliant humor and ideas, this show is one of the best of all time

 

[Peach_hat]

Lol.
I knew that would happen.

The Simpsons seasons 3 - 11 are laugh out loud pain funny. Futurama is quoting funny.
Aside from "War is the H-Word" obviously.

as much as i love the simpsons, futurama just makes me laugh more in each individual episode.

Simpsons has been great, but it's also had several seasons of pure garbage. Futurama only has like 2 episodes that are weak, and pretty much everyone agrees on them being weak. Plus, Simpsons has never had a moment like Futurama did with Seymour Butts. Show me someone that isn't choked up or crying at the end of that episode, and you'll of shown me a MAN WITH NO SOUL.

 

[PureChaos]

i'd go for Simpsons but it's been so long since i saw Futurama i can't remember much of it.

 

[Triple AD]

Both and I think you should add that to the poll

Futurama is the only comedy series i can watch over and over again and always find it increadibly satisfying, thanks to the sci-fi theme combined with the big city location they have the ability to cram so much secret jokes in there, like billboards, names and such.

So all in all Futurama is a better written show than the Simpsons, that and the fact that it hasnt gone the way of most other shows and continued waaay past its prime, something that most comedy shows are guilty of, especially the simpsons.
