Simpsons, Futurama or Family Guy? Which is best? • Non-Gaming • TV • Eurogamer.net

Deleted user 21 June 2007 13:11:53

A regular discussion topic between me and my friends. They all have their good and bad points.

Which one will you choose?

I'm voting for Furturama, the reason: Zapp Brannigan.

Futurama if you haven't seen them all a million times before.

Futurama.

Certainly not fucking Family Guy.

South Parks best... futurama wasn't comedy focussed and the simpsons has lost it and never came back(unlike south park).

Simpsons up to about season ten was better than the other two. South Park owns all though.

EDIT: Heh, word up spanky

Futurama is not only the best animated show ever but one of the best shows ever.

As much as I'm up for free speech, South Park wasn't on the list guys! South Park is awesome though.

How can you say that Futurama wasn't comedy focussed???

I still find that Simpsons episode where Homer becomes captain of a submarine funnier than any episode of Futurama or Family Guy.

Right now, though, Futurama is the best.

Simpsons by a country mile
It IS still very funny despite the naysayers

Futurama.

Zapp, Zoidberg and the countless geek references.

Futurama, easily.

Futurama loses because there are about 2 or 3 funnies per episode. Family Guy as 0, Southpark 30 and Simpsons 10.

Yeah King of the Hill.

Futurama. I just hope the new stuff doesn't piss over the memories of the old.

South Park can be excellent, but all the recent episodes just seem to be movie/TV show parodies.

Futurama has that special something for me.

Bite my shiny metal ass!

Futurama... except the comedy isn't funny if you're not partial geek. =)

South Park doesn't do satire - it beats you around the head with it. Most of the time, anyway.

Scott Tenorman Must Die is a classic, though.

This is a bit of a non-question - The Simpsons is the most influential TV program ever made, and the only reason you don't recognise it is because it has become so-much a part of the cultural lexicon that you take it for granted.

/ Has read "Planet Simpson" by Chris Turner

Post from my blog about it:

It's still not as good as Futurama though.
