One of the GOAT animated comedies in my opinion. :salute:

The good thing about the show is that the writers were able to go easily back and forth between comedy and drama - despite the fantastical setting, some of the episodes are genuinely sad and make you feel for the characters and their situations. Top notch writing, and it's one of those series where the writers don't insult the audiences intelligence and often put things in there that will go over a lot of people's head (for example, references to things like quantum physics and obscure science fiction). The sociopolitical commentary is also really good while still being subtle in most instances.

Personally I thought the original four seasons and the Comedy Central seasons were really good.

Bender and Fry = The GOAT comedic duo


Personally I think Futurama is >>>Any of the Seth McFarlane stuff (Family Guy, American Dad, etc.) and better than South Park as well


Jurassic Bark and Luck of the Fryish had me like :to: at the end

the comedy central episodes were mostly forgettable, still had some flashes of greatness... and it gave us this classic phrase
