Futurama still stands as one of the most under-appreciated comedies on TV. It's damn funny and it's a shame that more people don't know about it. Naturally, since it comes from the creators of The Simpsons, I can't help but to compare it to that show. The animation is a lot cleaner and yes, a little more futuristic. They manage to integrate computer animation into the show that gives it a fresh look very deserving of its futuristic status.
The second season of Futurama showcases writing that's as good as The Simpsons and there's no doubt in my mind that it's just as funny. But while The Simpsons focuses more on family life and children, Futurama concerns a group of mostly single adults running an interplanetary delivery service. Naturally, there's a lot more jokes based on sex and relationships. Heck, everyone gets some in Futurama. Bender gets probed by the Proberator and even the professor plays slap and tickle with an old flame. these jokes and situations feel even smarter and more sharply pointed than dreck like Friends.
