And there's me just bought all the box sets, too.

Great to hear this, but here in Belgium they have never shown anything further then Season 3 or 4

You'd almost think that there were only 4 seasons, wouldn't you?

There are 4 production seasons, but 5 'air' seasons (at least in the US); Fox chopped up the 4 seasons and shown the episodes out-of-order in 5 seasons.

Sweet!

.This is excellent news.  I just hope it doesn't take them 5 years to begin making new episodes.

Depends whether they make them before or after the movie in 2007

[Rott3]

A movie? Yay! Let's just hope it doesn't suck. But since it's Futurama, it can't suck. Wheee!

[Nuclear1]

Hooray!

Hmm. After watching so much Family guy, I started to find the humour in Futurama a bit... lacking...   That and when they cloned the professor, the series went downhill >..>  Hopefully this new series will be better.

That's because Family Guy is lowest-common-denominator, instant-gratification, gag-a-second twaddle.

Futurama actually requires you to leave your brain on.

[Scuddie]

No, The Simpson's is lowest-common-denominator.  That's why it isn't funny, no matter how hard you think about it.  It's also why they're coming up to 18th season.  I would think of The Simpsons to be closer to Full House than Futurama.  Yeah, it was funny 15 years ago, but now it's just recycled.  Futurama got a fresh start, by using sarcastic humor instead of clever humor, but it won't be long before it suffers the same fate.

[Scuddie]

You say that about everybody's post but your own, so I'm not surprised you say that about mine.

It's a different kind of gag.  Simpsons and Futurama get their funnies from dialog.  Family Guy relies on more on the on-screen action, which is why Family Guy quotes are rarely funny unless you've seen the scene yourself.

i've deleted apost here. ZB keep it civil, i don't wan't to close this thread

Au contraire mon ami. The Simpsons have a wide range of gags. Starting from simple slapstick, via common cliché bashing up to subtle insider gags that only small percentage of the viewers recognise or find funny.

Has it become repetitive ? Yes. Still enjoyable ? Yes. (I find the Simpsons are getting a little better since season 14/15, after the very mediocre seasons 9-13)

The only funny thing about Family Guy is the little football head.

And let's not forget American Dad.

[Scuddie]

American Dad is garbage.  The first two episodes I saw were enough to turn me away from the show forever.

If you don't want to forget something, don't forget King of the Hill, which is possibly the finest example of sophisticated animated comedy on God's brown polluted earth.

[phreak]

Hooray!

[Unknown Target]

King of the Hill is probably one of the most unfunny shows on the planet. Family Guy is hilarious, American Dad is alright, and Futurama is ok - the jokes are a bit too predictable, imo.
