People thought I was dumb, but I proved them!
90Still responsible for the saddest cartoon episode in history...
52Was having a discussion with my wife and our mate just earlier - how their film group was mocking her for liking Fantastic Mr Fox and it was immature because cartoons are for kids.
I’m just so confused with regards to people like that. Imagine missing out on some amazing pieces of work just because they’re animated. Empty, sad people.
30That's a pathetic film group if they mock you for liking a Wes Anderson movie.
8Mocking someone for disliking fantastic Mr fox????? How could anyone do that?

I still think they should let it die in peace, though. Not everything needs a reboot.
20It depends. If they can still be funny then go for it.
24Sad news, everybody.
It's mid, at best.

I kind of agree but I am torn on it. If they can give us funny moments and more cute Fry & Leela moments then I am all for it.

these numbers tell me nothing without knowing the size of the staff. if there were 100,000 writers, that wouldn't be very impressive at all.
18About a dozen on average and 7 core writers (Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, Ken Keeler, Patric M. Verrone, Eric Horsted, Lewis Morton, J. Stewart Burns) according to ChatGPT

You call this writing?! If I puked in a fountain pen and mailed it to the monkey house, I'd get better scripts!
Edit: very few Simpsons connoisseurs here I see
At Harvard they taught ya? Hit the road, egghead. You should've majored in not getting fired.

Good thing humour transcends education. And hookers.
15Forget the humor and education

Then why did they make that stupid episode about Bender being a baby robot when they already made another episode in the first season about him being born a full adult robot on an assembly line?
13A wizard did it
10I just chalk some things up to creative freedom.
8I like to pretend that bender is an untrustworthy narrator and while he thinks he was born on the assembly line fully grown he actually was not
7I like that theory! And it makes his son's birth and growth into adulthood a viable concept. Thank you for sharing.

I was actually frustrated at that inconsistency myself. Then you have the vending machine baby. Do robots age? Well his son apparently went through puberty and everything. I don't mind suspension of disbelief or shows that use multiple timelines to explain things (looking at you Star Trek), but here we are left without any explanation with two completely different, viable realities.

There are a lot of TV writers that come out of Harvard. It's not as unique as the image makes it seem to have Harvard alum in the writer’s room.
1030 Rock had it as a running gag

Futurama is a smart show pretending to be dumb.
Rick and Morty is a dumb show pretending to be smart.
Excuse me, I will now run away and hide.
6Even though I like Rick & Morty too, I still agree with you, it is really overextending sometimes. Season 1 was humble, but after that... oh boy. Still fun to watch though.
3They get points for incredible background design and animation for sure. I don't think anyone superjail has done that much detailed work on every scene, and it far surpasses superjail even.

They were hilarious.
5not yet...
4Yeah, but then they start proving math theorems in the writers' room, so you gotta watch out.
2Wonder how Rick and Morty compares

Ugh, is the Futurama fandom turning into the Rick and Morty fandom?
-25I think there's a bit of a difference between the two shows.
Rick and Morty makes fun of movies, sometimes Sci Fi movies but not always.
Futurama creates novel proofs as a joke to an episode, and provides the proof to the audience as part of the story.
