I'm a bit surprised this show isn't on the list. It was a great animated look into the future of the yr 3000.

Come on, I can't be the only person to have watched it.

I don't know, Polly, maybe it was the fact that I didn't care for the artwork (us artistic types get real snooty on that subject), or maybe it was just because I was never wild about the Simpsons.

I should give it another chance. I might go plum wild over it and binge watch the dang thing for a month! Very Happy

I agree with you, Polly. I have mentioned Futurama in a couple of other threads, but got absolutely no response.

It's by the SIMPSONS people, and there were a few crossover episodes of both shows. I love the tongue-in-cheek references to real science and physics subjects. The Futurama movies were pretty good, too, but I think the half-hour format works better.

And how can you possibly go wrong with Peg Bundy doing Leela's voice?

Well, that does it! I won't be able to eat lunch at the Cool Kids' table if I don't watch Futurama, so I'll get busy and start watching them today!

I just discovered that Netflix streams the series, so I should be done watching the entire series by next Friday — assuming I'm not interrupted.

"Miss Longlegs? Hold all my calls!"

Well, it's a bit early to say anything about Futurama yet, but my opinion of Miss Longlegs is that she's almost the perfect secretary! (She just needs to learn how to type, file papers, answer phones, and take messages.)

Triffles really, but those skills do come in handy . . . Very Happy

Ok, you artistic snoot. Now try watching the show instead of your secretary. Very Happy

Honestly, I know it's a silly show, but it ran on and off for over a decade, so it must've done something right.
