This was a really tough one. I love both of those shows. In the end, I had to pick The Simpsons though because I grew up with them and they've been on TV for so long. However, with possible new episodes of Futurama, I may grow to like Futurama more.

The classic versus the future?

Go Futurama! That show was Groening's greatest invention. I know Simpson purists would argue otherwise, but Futurama is a lot better written and animated. The cast is the only thing on par with the original since Simpsons has such a great cast too.

Futurama all the way!

More suggestions: X-Files, Millenium, The Lone Gunmen, Modern Marvels, Mythbusters, JAG, Coundown with Keith Olberman, *shudders* The O'Reily Factor, Dateline, 60 Minutes, Corwin's Quest, Home Movies, X-Play, Boondocks, and Robot Chicken

Also, no anime shows are going to be in this right? I know most were shows of some sort at some point in their life, but would they go against the shows on our lists?

Any show that has appeared on television is eligible.

Despite my years upon years of watching I will always find the writing in futurama to be better and more enjoyable. I used to love the simpsons and they have a lot of pure genius going on there, but if I was given the choice to only ever again watch one... i'd choose futurama.

Futurama! :)

Suggestions: The OC, Doctor Who, 8 Simple Rules, Scrubs, Pinky and the Brain.

V. tough one. In th end had to go for simpsons.

I <3 both, but I've watched Simpsons basically since I was in diapers. I prefer The Simpsons even though it isn't as consistent because it's funnier. Futurama is funny too and I like it because it's so creative and has interesting stories, but the jokes are more subtle and it isn't as laugh-out-loud funny.

I like both though.

Suggestions: Family Guy, The O.C., The Office (US), South Park, Veronica Mars

Very cool. I hope that will make some of these votes interesting.

I really like Futurama. The only time I *really* watched the Simpsons was when I was in Spain (it was on during lunch).

I didn't get into it... and it wasn't that funny to me.

So... Futurama it is. :D

I love the Simpsons. I've watched the show since I was little, but I definitely like it a lot more at my age now because I understand a lot more of the humor in the show. I've seen a few episodes of Futurama a few years ago, and I thought it was okay, but the Simpsons are definitely better. :)

Futurama, again. :lol:

For some reason, the Simpsons doesn't appeal much to me anymore. *shrugs*

Fri Jul 28, 2006 8:48 am

Futurama, totally.

Suggestions: Desperate Housewives, Lost, The Young and the Restless, Days of our Lives, The War at Home

Forget Days, Sugar.

Passions. That wins over everything.

The Simpsons. I've seen every episode like 20 times... but I still like 'em all. :P
