And yet another Futurama movie with no BD announcement. Which means another Futurama movie I'll only be renting from Netflix.

Although I enjoy the Show, it's like the Family Guy.... I don't see the need to watch the movies.....

These are basically just back to back episodes featuring one story arc. The Family Guy movie and the first Futurama movie are both exceedingly good. In my opinion both are much better that the sorry excuse for a movie they called THE SIMPSONS MOVIE.

The Beast with a Billion Backs...is that like a porno staring the Futurama cast [prays to god, Mom isn't involved]?

Well im still excited over this, the last futurama movie was very good, and the extras were amazing, *run down on multiple episodes explaining things, math lesson explaining the translations of alien languages, all kids of cool stuff*

I agree with you, Bender's Big Score was very good and more than just a string of so-so episodes - it was a witty and well-written revivial of a prematurely cancelled show.

I know what you mean, but I felt personally that they did a excellent job, and not just the movie, but they gave extras that explained alot of things about the show, and showed you things would never had noticed and furthers the appreciation of itself and the original series.

Am I the only person here that thought The Simpsons Movie was awesome? Am I also the only person here that thinks Family Guy is way over-rated? By the way, I like Futurama and thought "Bender's Big Score" was great.

Yes you are.

Seriously though, lots of people loved THE SIMPSONS MOVIE, I however am one of the people that think the simpsons is 10 years past its prime. I absolutely love family guy and I am actually one of the people who has watched it since before the cancellation. I do not think it is overrated. Futurama is fanatstic though we can all agree on that. I think SOUTH PARK is the most overrated animated show of all time though.

Whoa, we are polar opposites. I am a South Park freak and have watched that since it premiered. Though, Futurama is our common ground. Weird.

xtop · 04-02-2008, 05:37 PM

speaking of the simpsons being past its prime. its time for family guy to die again. its one of my all time fave cartoons, but its just so not funny anymore.

south park and futurama forever baby!

I can see the tagline now under the FUTURAMA logo at the start of the show already:

BRING FAMILY GUY FANS AND SOUTH PARK FANS TOGETHER SINCE 1999

Noetheless I do not hate South Park, I just enjoy Family Guy more, diffrnt strokes for diffrnt folks

SDon1969 · 04-02-2008, 05:46 PM

I'm a fan of all of them, South Park, Futurama, The Simpsons, American Dad and Family Guy. I think I'm just a sucker for animated comedies. I find something to like about all of them, usually in the writing and voice acting. I agree with the poster, however, who said that the Simpsons is past it's prime - it's definitely gotten a bit stale. As for the movie, it was more like a long episode than a feature film IMO. The South Park Movie though, I thought was great (introducing over-the-top lanuage and well-written songs). Don't care for King of the Hill, that one doesn't do it for me. I used to love Ren & Stimpy, though, lol!

dk3dknight · 04-02-2008, 08:18 PM

I love Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurma, animation domination on fox use to be the butter on my bread for sundays.

Because I live in texas I also have to find king of the hill funny... its a requirement I believe

.

Seriously they should run simpsons, futurama, family guy, american dad then end with king of the hill.

ryoohki · 04-02-2008, 10:15 PM

Btw those movies are made in 1920x1080p, you can see a preview of it in 1080p in the Simpsons Movies.

I think fox will wait until all 3 movies are done until doing a Blu-ray version. What's the point of making it 1080p when you will only broadcast it on you're channel in 720p...

For all the happy fans that watch blu-rays
