I've been watching Futurama lately on Netflix.

Started around 2001.
Would visit my Grandmother's in the country at night. She'd invite her siblings and they'd play Pitch. (It's a card game)
We'd usually watch cartoons in the morning, but at night it was adult swim.
No I didn't get all the jokes, and frankly at my age, it was questionable whether or not I should have been watching it.
But hey, it looked like a Mechanical Homer Simpson, might as well.

My first episode I can recall was Godfellas.
Other memorable episodes to me that followed included Jurassic Bark, Bend Her, The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings, So and so forth.

Re watching them in an adult's perspective reminded me just how funny it is.
In that cult classic way, it was in no way destined or cursed to be as mainstream as The Simpsons. (Metaphor)
Maybe it's for the best.
As It's a show that I think will surf underground and be remembered more fondly over things like South Park or Family Guy.

Diverse Characters too, my favorite is probably Dr Zoidberg. Both Likeable, Nice and funny too.
That and when reflecting on the stories, in which I valued more as a kid, it does indeed have a wide variety and expansive satiric mythology and universe.

Great show. :thumb: :gary:

It is a really good show but it got a bit sour after season 4, some of the movies were alright but the newer episodes aren't the same, not quite on the same level as the newer Simpsons episodes at least.

I grew up watching it as well, it's immensely entertaining, I appreciate the episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" so much more now that I've seen all episodes of Star Trek: TOS.
My favorite characters are Bender and Zoidberg.

I've been re watching the child's play movies to get hyped up for the new one that comes out. Personally, Chucky is one of my favorite slashers, and i think the moves are really underrated.... But avoid Seed Of Chucky.... unless you like doll masturbation.... and redman.

Futurama > Simpsons. Hypnotoad commands it.

Watched 28 Days Later. Pretty damn good. Liked Weeks a bit better, mostly for the action. So brutal.

I think Futurama speaks to those of an age of like 15-35 more than The Simpsons (even the peak stuff) does. It's 'geekier', whether it's the jokes, characters, themes, guests and even the basic setting and premise of it all. Some of the writing that has been on the show has been beyond phenomenal at times. I'd place Jurassic Bark, Luck of the Fryish, Godfellas, Parasites Last, War Is The H Word and Time Keeps on Slippin' (and others that escape my memory) against anything The Simpsons, South Park, King of the Hill or any other major cartoon has to offer. It was that good.

I agree to an extent that the relaunch after the DVD movies hasn't been quite the same (I will confess I haven't seen them all but I will endeavour to do so in the very near future) but I've seen glimpses of the magic it possesed during it's original run. I genuinely teared up when watching "Lethal Inspection." For me it's on a level that only 'Jurassic Bark' has reached in terms of emotional pull on the viewer. And I don't mean just in terms of Futurama or Cartoons, but TV as a whole.


Homeland Season 3 (yeah boi!) and not long Started 'The Wire.' Please don't shout at me Henry.

I've been following White Chapel every week, whilst waiting for GoT and the Walking Dead to start.

I've nearly watched the entire series of Harper's Island, don't really know what to make of it...

The Island? the one with Scar Jo, right? eh, I found it to be one of Bay's better efforts, but it certainly suffered from a lack of focus. At first it seemed like a thriller like movie, but then in the second half it goes overblown action flick. First half was way better.

Closing in on the ending of American Psycho, but one question: what the flying fuck is up with that ending? so Bateman isn't really Bateman and that guy is infact alive? but didn't the guy behind the book and movie say Bateman did infact, commit all these murders?

Oh yea he totally killed those people, the point would be diminished without it.
I think it was that everyone was so similar that that guy just thought he was with Paul Allen.
I'm sure theres more to it, but thats all I got right now though.
