meanwhile, The Simpsons is apparently secure for another three seasons at least (a few of the actors who provide key voices had contractual qualms) - its just not fair i tells ya

"I find that the most erotic part of the woman is the boobies."

80s guy: "You remeber that song Saftey Dance?"
Fry: "Oh yeah!
Both: "DOO DOO DEE DEE DEE DOO DOO DEE DEE DEE"
Fry: "You know, it wasn't as safe as they said it was."

Stevem is OTM. When anyone pulls the "even if they suck, the simpsons are better than anything else on TV" line, Futurama is my standard refutation. Also, futurama is better sci-fi than most "serious" sci-fi on TV.

"I come bearing Tri-ominoes!!"

Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 16 January 2003 12:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

what annoyed me was all the critics saying 'its no Simpsons, but...' when by the time Fry and co. got going The Simpsons was blatantly flagging and running out of ideas (and jokes) - Futurama's had a better script and better gags from the outset really, tho i concede that Futurama probably doesnt have the same mileage as The Simpsons did.

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 16 January 2003 12:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

one of the things the simpsons had which futurama lacks is a HUGE ensemble cast, so f always feels a bit underpopulated, somehow

of course the bbc mainly only shows series one of the simpsons so i can't compare properly

mark s (mark s), Thursday, 16 January 2003 13:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

underpopoulated = saying "i like this, but i'd like it more if there was more of it"

i dont get this, the BBC has been showing LOADS of late 90s episodes! but both they and Sky will revert to the first two series every 6 months it seems...in fact i'm not sure season 6 is getting much of a look-in, (tho it should be)

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 16 January 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

what happened to this c4 paying a million £ an episode thing?

zemko (bob), Thursday, 16 January 2003 13:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

Search: anything with Zapp Brannigan and Kif.

"Have the boy bring me my dress shorts."
"The boy?"
"You, Kif. You bring me my dress shorts."
"Sigh."

"In the game of chess, it is vital never to let your opponent see your pieces"

Sadly Zapp mhas made it impossible for me to watch Planet Of The Apes without collapsing.

Does it have more visual jokes than the Simpsons? I'm thinking of stuff with Bender - him shitting a brick, or taking three beers out of his chest to celebrate and drinking them all.

I still can't get my head around the fact that it was actually Al Gore in the "fry returns to 2000" episode.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 16 January 2003 14:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

zemko, apparently C4 have done that and i think they get to start showing them in the Autumn...no doubt they will failt to settle on a consistent transmission time once Celeb Big Brother rears its stupid fat fuckarsed face though

The Incompetent Turquoise Chicken Lawyer is better than anything that's been on the Simpsons in a least three years. 'Now, little girl, I want you to realise that there is absoluteleh nothin' for you to be afraid of. I- (shrieks loudly) I'm sorry, I thought you was corn.' 'Your honour, I move that I be disbarred for introducin' this evi-dence against mah own client.'

Also, wasn't there some kind of Charm Robot that spouted the line 'Is heaven missing an angel? Because you have nice cans.'

I don't understand Mark's "underpopulated" comment: surely the Simpsons got as well-populated as it did by picking up character after character for season after season?

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 16 January 2003 17:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Granted, the fact that Futurama "travels" and they live in a big city removes the ease of just returning every character you introduce, but, e.g., I just watched the collapsing-planet episode where they brought in Kif, Brannigan, and Nibbler, one of whom is now super-involved and the others of whom can be used in pretty much the same manner as a Krusty or a Hibbert.)

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 16 January 2003 17:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Also: every line uttered by Morbo, the newsreader.

Morbo: "Morbo can't understand his TelePrompter. He forgot how you say that letter that looks like a man with a hat."
Linda: "It's a 'T'. It goes 'tuh'."
Morbo: "Hello little man. I WILL DESTROY YOU!"

Or...

Nixon: "Hello, Morbo. How's the family?
Morbo: "Belligerent and numerous."
Nixon: "Good man! Nixon's pro-war and pro-family."

At its best, Futurama more than stacks up against Simpsons, but its grebtest problem is remarkable inconsistency. First half of season 1 = classic, middle half of season 2 = classic, and everything else was hit or miss. In fact, Futurama as a whole seems to have gone through the ups and downs of 13+ years of Simpsons, in only 3 years, namely an over-reliance on Bender which quickly led to an exponential increase in his jerkassocity.

Bender: Magnets screw up my inhibition unit.
Fry: So you flip out and start acting like some crazy folk singer?
Bender: Yes. [sadly] I guess a robot would have to be crazy to wanna be a folk singer ...

Robot horror flick: "Behold my system of mighty organs!"

Fry: "I need the apartment tonight. [hands him money] Go see a saucy puppet show."
Bender: "Can do!"

Amy: "So what do you think of that guy by the bar?"
Leela: "I don't know. Maybe."
Bender: "Forget it! He's gay."
Leela: "What? How can you tell?"
Bender: "I just know these things. I've got what they call 'gaydar'."
Leela: "There's no such thing."
Bender: "No? ....Ok, I've got a lock on him. Yep, he's gay!"
Amy: "Are you sure?"
Bender: "Definitely! Unless I'm getting interference from a gay weather balloon."

Fry: "Wait a second. You are a bender, right? We can get out of here if you just bend the bars!"
Bender: "Dream on skin tube! I'm only programmed to bend for constructive purposes. What do I look like? A debender?"
Fry: "Who cares what you're programmed for? If someone programmed you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?"
Bender: "I'll have to check my program. Yep!"

*sigh* I miss it already.

Zapp: Men, you're lucky men. Soon you'll all be fighting for your planet. Many of you will be dying for your planet. A few of you will be forced through a fine mesh screen for your planet. They will be the luckiest of all.

Bender: Great, we're gonna die.

Fry: And this ham gum is all bones.

Trayce, Tuesday, 3 July 2007 04:46 (sixteen years ago) link

In fact that whole episode has some great lines:

Zapp: It's the one word the robot uses more than any other. We got it from this convenient database of his 10 most frequently-used words. [He presses a button on the database and a list comes up.] Number 10, chump; number nine, chumpette; number eight, yours; number seven, up; number six, pimpmobile; number five, bite; number four, my ... [Leela gasps.] ... number three, shiny; number two, daffodil. And Bender's number one most frequently-uttered word, the word which, if uttered, will blow up this entire planet: Ass.

[Fry gasps.]

Fry: We don't have long!

Morbo: "Morbo demands an answer to the following question. If you saw
a delicious candy in the hands of a small child. Would you seize and consume it?"
John Jackson: "Unthinkable."
Jack Johnson: "I wouldn't think of it."
Morbo: "What about you Mr. Nixon? I remind you. You are under of a truth-o-scope."
Nixon: "Question is vague. You don't say what kind of candy and whether anyone is watching. In anyway I certainly wouldn't harm the child."
