"You are all fools of the highest caliber." -Ethan "Bubblegum" Tate, Volume 3, Episode 14 "Time Keeps On Slipping"
Well, whoever canceled "Futurama" certainly was.
I am a devout fan; I was hooked from the first epsiode and own all four seasons on DVD, among other Futurama accoutrements and kitsch. The war in my office wages as to who the top cartoon is: Simpsons, Family Guy, or Futurama. My money is on Futurama. Who can resist a show featuring an unstoppable eating machine (Nibbler,) an unidentifiable creature who claims to be an expert on humans (Dr. Zoidberg) and celebrity heads in jars, including Matt Groening himself?
Adult humor at it's best, Futurama makes many references to things that target a certain age-group. There have been times when yes, my parents have laughed and I haven't, but that in and of itself proves its appeal. Witty, entertaining and delightfully wacky, Fry, Leela, Bender and the rest of the gang are guaranteed to act out, encounter, and become the unlikely. |
