[frys_red_jacket]

[gort]

What is your problem with that bastard Beano1?

[frys_red_jacket]

there was a beano1?
careful with the language gort

[gort]

Sorry FRJ...I use the rule that whatever Bender says on the show is okay here...I was joking about there being a Beano1....he just seems so intent on being called 2...

[Cloverfield]

Yeah, i know what you mean.

The odd swear word here or there is okay.

[gort]

ok....if you want an odd swear word, how about frabblejanger??

[Sawbucks]

Or mitten? :wink:

[gort]

[frys_red_jacket]

Good news everyone......................mystery SOLVED!!!
whoo hoo

[gort]

Dingleberry....some sort of Christmas pie??


Just kidding...I know what that is!

I like to call skateboarders 'wood-pushers'

[beano2]

havnt we all gone off topic

[frys_red_jacket]

oh yeah so we have, ooops!

only 5 more votes to get, get ya voting fingers out peeps :)

[gort]

Polls are only fun if you discuss the answers....this off topic thing is killing Gort!!
Just ask Smokey!

[frys_red_jacket]

yeah its fun to discuss answers but it kinda went from discussing answers to wierd swear words that aren't actually swear words or something like that lol

[gort]

Yea...I know, and agree...I'm just grumpy from fighting my own battles....like angry dad!


Speaking of which.....how can Simpsons be winning here? I guess it's fair to recognize peoples' opinions....even if they're wrong LOL

[frys_red_jacket]

i prefer the simpsons but futurama is a smidging close second

[gort]

D'OH!!! Fair enough....as I've mentioned on other threads here, I just think the writing is SO perfect on Futurama and the characters are better developed....Matt Groening only had a short time to come up with the Simpsons idea for Tracy Ullman....but look how it's progressed!! I am a HUGE Simpsons fan!!!


I don't mean I'm fat, either.

[Cloverfield]

I am a massive Simpsons fan, i love it.

[gort]

HaHa....'massive'....that's great!! Great like a heart attack! And twice as funny!!

[cerberus]

ah, damn, poll closed! ah, well, i'da voted futurama!

[beccal1993]

I cant believe you all like the simpsons better its a bit ooffensive to smokey since this is a futerama site!!!!!!!!!

[gort]

I think Simpsons is one of Smokeys' favorites....he won't mind!!


Gort voted Futurama, by the way.
Of course, you all know that from the posts above....

[frys_red_jacket]

yeah smokeys a simpsons fan as well as futurama

[gort]

Too bad he doesn't like that 'Lost' show, huh??!!


LOL

[Blast_fromthapast07]

I think The Simspons is'nt as funny or interesting as it use to be.

[Gurman169]

FUTURAMA

[frys_red_jacket]

I think The Simspons is'nt as funny or interesting as it use to be.
i think the simpsons just keeps getting better and better

[Gurman169]

I dont know they are still pretty funny not as funny as they used to be and not as many good story episodes but the first episode of this season was excellent

[Calum]

The Simpsons for me. Futurama close behind.

[gort]

Longer is only better on a date.

Futurama is the better produced show.

[BEB]

Simpsons.

but polls finished

[Cloverfield]

Who closed the poll...and why?

[frys_red_jacket]

maybe it was beano, he said earlier the poll had finished (?!?)

[gort]

Why would you ask when you know it was me??? LOL

I just thought it was about done....sorry if you wanted it open....

[Cloverfield]

Done? With 5 votes?

[frys_red_jacket]

ooooh we found the culprit LOL

[Cloverfield]

Oh well, it doesn't matter.

[gort]

I didn't look at the poll.......I went by the date written....

Said sorry!!!

I'll be good....

Maybe....

[frys_red_jacket]

i almost locked it a while ago cos the date but decided not to

[gort]

HAH!!!!


See?
I'm not crazy!!!

[frys_red_jacket]

not quite LOL

[gort]

It varies.

[Cloverfield]

I said it didn't matter.

[gort]

I remember you saying that.


Two or three posts back.

Man, those were good times....sigh....

[Skye]

Futurama for life!

[Smitty]

Futurama! Better animations, better scripts, better characters, and excellent comedy!

[Meatwad]

I've watched them as they originally aired . . . definitely futurama mon

[phenom forever]

futurama pwns the simpsons :D

[The Illusive Man]

Simpsons for me

[JetGirl]

I'm going with futurama but i love simpsons as well, i can rewatch futurama more then i can alot of simpson episodes

[phenom forever]

Simpsons are good. But futurama rules :D

[Meatwad]

futurama is the best.

[hoopymo]

100% futurama simpsons hasnt been good for years

[Cloverfield]

I actually prefer Futurama now.

[hoopymo]

yup i like (in order)

1.futurama
2. the old(before it got cancelled) episodes of family guy
3.scrubs
4.family guy (current)
5.Simpsons

[Cloverfield]

Wow, Simpsons is 5th for you.

[hoopymo]

yup i hate the lack of continuity and the fact they changed it to being about homer being stupid thats all they do now

[Cloverfield]

Yeah, they do drag on that. But i still love the show a lot. Classic!!

[hoopymo]

fair enough but i hate it especially compared to the classics

[Cloverfield]

Oh well, someones gotta hate it :wink:

[hoopymo]

true just like some people hate football

[Cloverfield]

Yer, theres not a lot, but there are some.

[JetGirl]

i hate sports in general, does that count?

[hoopymo]

i suppose yeh

[Cloverfield]

You don't enjoy any sport?

[JetGirl]

i used to watch alot of skateboarding but haven't paid too much attention to that in a few years

[Cloverfield]

Wow, thats not really shown on TV over here. Not really a sport.

[hoopymo]

dodgeball on challenge is hilarious they all dress up and stuf

[JetGirl]

Wow, thats not really shown on TV over here. Not really a sport.


yeah it wasn't considered a sport here, hell it still might not be, but it really is. i've dated skaters and used to hang out with them all the time. it's insane the stuff they could do and how athletic you have to be to pull off alot of those moves.

luckily they decided along with bmx and bladers to start their own games which is how Xgames came about. i think snowboarders are in that grouping now too. competitions are great and i used to love watching them

[hoopymo]

cool

[The Illusive Man]

Dodgeball is class, particually when someone gets hurt other then yourself lol

[hoopymo]

especially when they are hit below the belt

[The Illusive Man]

Oh yes, definetly haha

[Apache]

There both great shows but futurama takes it for me,

looking forward to the new series!!

Ben

[Cloverfield]

Yeah arn't we all, gonna be wicked. I remember when i was saying "I can't believe we've got to wait till next year!" lol

[The Illusive Man]

So the circle is nearly complete

[NickMyers]

Simpsons are kinda boring, i can go look at the family donw the street to c that stuff futurama definetly wins

[hoopymo]

hell yeah!

[FryWalker]

Simpsons

you voted for simpsons? why didnt you make a simpsons forumsite?

[NovaMist]

Futurama, all the way!

No, I love The Simpsons, but if I had to pick...

[FryRulz]

i voted futurama, because i feel its got better storylines, better animation and just is better overal:)

[Cloverfield]

you voted for simpsons? why didnt you make a simpsons forumsite?

We did. Me and Gurman made a simpsons and a futurama forum but the simpsons one went to hell and we just focused on this one.

If i had the chance to vote again though it would be Futurama. That was back when i still preferred Simpsons.

[FryRulz]

yeh i saw that vote. iv noticed at the bottom a small about simpsons but i havnt botherd looking at it

[PMD14]

This is hard. The Simpsons is great. And Futurama is the next best thing since, well the Simpsons. I have to say the Simpsons though.

[Cloverfield]

Awww :thumbdown:

[PMD14]

But the new episodes of Simpson are worse than Futurama though.

[FryWalker]

we could still open it up more in the simpsons forum part

[NovaMist]

But the new episodes of Simpson are worse than Futurama though.

Agreed - maybe the writers should take a break? Then they might come back refreshed? It must be exhausting trying to be amusing and clever all the time :wink:

The last few seasons of The Simpsons (or what little of them I've been able to see) were not as good as previous years. Still better than most of the crap on TV, though!

[TK-421]

I saw 24 Minutes online a while back, after hearing so much hype about it. It wasn't particularly funny, nowhere near as good as the earlier episodes.

[KING ZOIDY]

i hated the older simpsons, to cheesy

[cinco]

Still the Simpsons ...

[Robot's_Best_Friend]

I'm still not sure about this...the new Simpsons sucks, but the old ones are classic. But on the other hand Futurama has always been great...

[cinco]

There are still more excellent Simpsons-episodes than Futurama-episodes, but that can change when the new season kicks ofF.

[Robot's_Best_Friend]

That's because the Simpsons has been on for over 20 years. There has been a ton of crappy Simpsons episodes as well.

[cinco]

I know, but there are still 200 great Simpsons-episodes. On the other hand, there are no bad Futurama-ones, except the last three movies.

[KING ZOIDY]

ITWGY wasn't crappy

[Robot's_Best_Friend]

I know, but there are still 200 great Simpsons-episodes. On the other hand, there are no bad Futurama-ones, except the last three movies.

Futurama has only 72 episodes and 4 movies. The Simpsons has had over 400. So it isn't exactly a fair judgement. Though I believe that two of the Futurama movies were mediocre and only a couple episodes were crappy. The Simpsons has had completely sh*tty episodes since 2003, and the movie was sub par. I actually think i've made my choice.

[cinco]

Let's say, it's a close finish between both but the Simpsons win.

[Joe Miller]

simpsons

[hammster]

The Simpsons but Futurama is way more consistent.

I think the Simpsons has higher highs but lower lows whereas Futurama doesn't really have a bad episode. (I love the movies)

[cinco]

I hope they can keep up the consistency in the new season.

[Yoshirama]

futurama is winning by 14 votes.

[cinco]

futurama is winning by 14 votes.

... on a futurama-forum. (hardly objective :unsure:)

[Yoshirama]

I have noticed that more peopel outside this forum and other futurama forums have began to liek futurama better then the simpsons.

[cinco]

I have noticed that more peopel outside this forum and other futurama forums have began to liek futurama better then the simpsons.

That trend can continue.
Futurama is going to get a serious boost and as a direct consequence, this forum also.

[Yoshirama]

yeah it will in june/july.

[cinco]

yeah it will in june/july.

If this will be a succesfull relaunch, the glory-days for Futurama are presumably still to come.
On the other hand, shows in the future (eg. the Jetsons, the Legion of Superheroes, Batman Beyond) tend to attract a smaller crowd than other shows.

[Robot's_Best_Friend]

They also have a ton of unused ideas, unlike the Simpsons. And since it's set 1000 years in the future, basically anything can happen. I doubt they'll run out of material anytime soon.

[22_22]

I can't vote on this one. Just started watching Futurama and it's amazing but Simpsons was good but never watch it anymore. ;)

[Daddy Warbucks]

Still Futurama

[frys_red_jacket]

still simpsons

[beavis]

i'm starting to like futurama more than the simpsons so i voted for futurama

[islabucasgrande]

I would say I have voted for the obvious. It's all over my screen, so what do you expect?

[DannyB]

Deffo Futurama, by far! although The Simpsons is still entertaining of course...

[Acid Eco]

The Simpsons for me.

[Kigents]

Futurama because i like sci-fi more.

[22_22]

I've made up my mind, I voted for Futurama :)

[Robot's_Best_Friend]

Sweet! So have you seen all the episodes yet? :)

[22_22]

Sweet! So have you seen all the episodes yet? :)

Well, I've watched Season 2 Episode 16 The Deep South. That was the first one I watched because it was on TV. :) My Favourite episode probably, but I think there all great.

I've watched the first 6 episodes of Season 1 :)

[cinco]

^
Yeah, try to watch them chronologically.
Hope you aren't spoiled to much about some reveals in the 4th season.

[22_22]

:S

[cinco]

I mean "secrets revealed about some characters"

[22_22]

I don't understand :S

[cinco]

The series has some tiny arcs, so if you watch it out of order, it would lessen the overall experience.

[22_22]

Yeah, I am watching it in order.. :P

[cinco]

Good boy!

[Para]

I like Futurama more becuase i've seen it less, so i'm not scared about seing a episode i saw 9,540 times before.

[XxEmoPrincessxX]

Futurama duh lol

[SuicideBooth]

I'm definitely with Futurama. I love the Simpsons, but Futurama is less mainstream and more unique.

[XxEmoPrincessxX]

Agreed :) Simpsons has also lost its edge over the years.
