FuturamaNewest Review: ... compare the two quality shows especially with the fact that they are created by the same person for the same Netwrok TV in America. Sadly the show was axed in August 2003 although there are certainly a lot of re-runs out there on various TV stations. A class show and probably as the American viewer has chosen with it's demise inferior to The Simpson in their eyes. I'm not so convinced both have strong merits and both have few demerits I guess we all just have to make up our own minds, but it is worth bearing in mind that it is still possible to see some really funny and quality animation in the form of Futurama.... more |

Imagine being accidentally frozen and then being wakened some 1000 years later and then being introduced to a flurry of weird and wonderful characters. Well this is the unfortunate story of Philip Fry the Pizza delivery guy with more bad luck than the unluckiest person who just won another thousand years of bad luck. Nothing goes right for Fry and when he meets up with Leela, Dr Zoidberg, Bender and the rest of the crew. Futurama first appeared on our screens in 1999 and is made by Matt Groening and some of the same group of lunatics that create the fantastic Simpsons, so from this you can logically assume it is both funny and inventive. Some of the funnies ... Read the complete review

Futurama is a cartoon set in the year 3000. The main character is Fry who is from the 20th century, but accidentally got frozen and woke up 1000 years later. The quality of the cartoon is on the same level as the Simpsons, and was partially created by Matt Groening himself. Although Futurama's target audience is somewhat smaller than The Simpsons (and was consequently cancelled by Fox, although this was partially due to to their dreadful time scheduling) the jokes are at times allot funnier, and just as clever. Just like the Simpsons, Matt Groening has managed to create a cartoon that is suitable for just about the whole family, kids will love the ... Read the complete review

If you have never seen Futurama you have missed out because it is an absolutely brilliant show and never fails to make me laugh. It is an animated american sci-fi sitcom and hit our screens in 1999. It was created by Matt Groening for the Fox Network. The story centres on character Philp J Fry who was cryogenically frozen for a thousand years. He then gets a job at Planet Express in the 31st century. There have been over 88 episodes made to date. There are several different unusual characters including Leela (The purple haired one eyed mutant), Bender (Frys robot roommate), Professor Hubert (Frys nephew) and Amy Wong (an intern at Planet ...

Futuram can only be described in one word and that is ADVENTURES, it has all the makings of a great cartoon comedy but can sometimes be on the dry side aswell. The show is mainly about Fry who has been froven for millions of years and has come alive in the future which seems to be a bit strange because it's really far fetched but its a cartoon and thats why they can get away with such a crazy storyline. Storylines: every episode has a new one which really develops into a bigger story on a personal level which allows you to engage with the charecters and makes you aware of their past and what has happened over their lives. The storylines can sometimes be a bit ... Read the complete review

Made by the same people who make The Simpsons, Futurama is set in the year 3000, where Fry has accidently been woken up after been frozen for 1000 years when on New Years eve in 1999, at midnight, he accidently fell into a freeze machine which would keep him frozen for 1000 years, waking up in the year 3000, Fry doesn't know what to do, he has nobody, all his family are dead, the world has changed so much, with flying cars, and Robots. But luckily, Fry makes friends with Leila a cyclopse, Bender a Robot, and his great great nephew...who is actually around 100 years old...Professor. He becomes part of the Proffessors delivery company and falls in love with ... Read the complete review
