Futurama Appreciation Thread - Another Side To Matt Groening's Genius



FUTURAMA APPRECIATION THREAD

Just thought I'd open a thread for Futurama, as it doesn't have its own board and it's another of Matt Groening's works.

So, what are your thoughts on the show? Do you have a favourite episode or character?

It's been a while since I've watched Futurama. I like Leela; my least favorite character is Bender just because he can be an ass.

I think that's what I love about Bender. Makes for some funny moments!

What about Zoidberg? He's not an ass, he's quite a lonely man (if you can call him a man) who just wants friendship. He also brings quite a lot of humour to the show.

Thanks for opening!

I never used to like Futurama as a kid, but now I watch it all the time.

Unfortunately, Comedy Central have axed Season 8 of Futurama But we do still have the second half of Season 7, starting on June 19th in U.S. but I'm not sure when they'll be shown elsewhere. I am currently trying to find out when they'll be on here in the UK so will let you know when (or if) I hear anything.

Do you think he's the show's equivalent of Moe?

In some ways, definitely! He is lonely, he has trouble making friends and is often ignored by the others. People find him disgusting for various reasons too. But I think the one major difference is that Zoidberg is often in denial about his lack of friends, whereas Moe knows he is repulsive.
For example, when they go to Mars to see Amy's parents, Zoidberg acts as though he is really part of the family and is very close to Amy's parents, despite their attempts to keep pushing him away!

From the Season 7 premier "The Bots & The Bees".

This is a great episode, I love how Bender gives up everything for his son Ben's dreams of being a bending robot. Even going as far as letting Ben lose all memory of Bender.
But in all honesty, do you think Fry needed to get completely naked for his role at the end as a light to see through the fog?

I caught part of the season premiere last night. Leela and Fry's getaway wasn't quite as it seemed.

Oh yes, the second half of Season 7 has just started. It hasn't started here yet (not sure when it does) so not sure when I'll be able to catch it.

I'm not sure about Hulu, but I know I'll be able to find it soon enough. I haven't had time to check since it was aired the other day.
