Matt Groening: Futurama vs. The Simpsons

7
Simpsons seasons 2-7 is probably the best television show I've seen thats not related to the BBC. Some episodes make me laugh hard even though I've probably seen them upwards of twenty times (Mr Plow, Barts Friend Falls in Love, Last Exit to Springfield) and others are weirdly affecting.

Futurama has funnier characters and a handful of really, really great episodes and although when it was 'on' it was probably as funny as the Simpsons there were just too many terrible episodes and lame parodies to make it comparable. I'm looking forward to the movie, though. I think it'll rule. My main objection to futurama is that its not really like a sci-fi program, just at office comedy with parodies of movies and a few robotic/mutant characters. If you made it like star trek/wars with everyone on Zapp's ship as they go to a new planet every week, it would be immeasurably improved. Rather than the lame conceit that people doing mundane things in wacky ways is funny, because its the comedy future and things are weird.
