The new (2/15) "Family Guy" episode was terrible!

Family Guy: Same.

Futurama? Not-so-much.

There are plenty of other parallels.

this explains some of what i think in regards to the similarities:

"Bender is the Homer Simpson, devoid of responsibility, yet, as this lack of responsibility is placed in a robot, we do not have to feel anger at his wayward ways.

Leela is the far less annoying Marge. Less annoying for the simple facts. A) She has something resembling a personality, something that Marge definitely suffered from. and B) You can listen to her speak without wanting to kill yourself.

Fry however grounds the show with the emotional base that made the Simpson's great. A Pizza delivery boy from the 20th century transported forwards in time 1000 years into a world that he knows nothing about. While our imaginations might find it a little too easy coming to terms with the future and all the few new inventions that go with it (Perhaps a nod to how poor an inventor Farnsworth is that there seems nothing overly unusual about this future), we forgive this minor blip and embrace Groening new world vision."

not my exact words, don't bash me too hard

i think family guy is similar to simpons, too, but i just feel like it has a different style of humor that's a little more "out there" if that makes sense plus the fact that the futurama characters are drawn the same way as the simpsons ones kind of sways me, even though i know that's a stupid reason
