Well, in the end it all boils down to different tastes, so the discussion is somewhat pointless.

Also:    (would be nicer on white background)

Hmm. After watching so much Family guy, I started to find the humour in Futurama a bit... lacking...

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

Futurama actually requires you to leave your brain on.

Eh?

I'e found that futurama usually will make a comment, and then two seconds later have it occur. If having a memory longer than 4 seconds is ''leaving my brain on" I guess you're right.

I'm not knocking futurama. Some episodes were very funny. but others were just as much shtick as Family guy...

As opposed to Family Guy, where someone makes a comment, and two seconds later there's a flashback of it occuring.

I see a certain lack of understanding of Family Guy humor. You see a Family Guy joke would be like this:

Scene: Everyone is sitting at the dinner table.

Peter: "The one thing I hate are Internet arguements. They're like domestic abuse cases..."

Stewie: "Oh! Oh! Yes... but the make ups are so great! Like Zylonbane and Derek Smart!"

Scene: Flashback to Derek Smart and a Coke Machine in a bed. Derek is smoking.

Coke Machine: So Derek... when can I get out of this suit?

*Derek Smart jumps over the Coke Machine and clobbers it, flashback ends*

Family's Guy funny because of the sheer lunacy and complete randomness that occurs on any episode.

The Simpsons is hilarious because of its satirical view of society and its running gags.

Futurama is hilarious because of its satirical view that none of society's problems will change even in a thousand years.
