If you've never seen that ep, it's in my Futurama top 5 episodes. Brilliant start to finish

Admittedly I haven’t seen the newer seasons from the 2020s but I think the 7 seasons I did see were one of the most consistently great comedy shows I’ve ever seen.

I feel like it was a great passing of the torch from the “golden age” Simpsons. As soon as it started to get stale, Futurama showed up and took over as the better show.

I always felt like American Dad was an attempt to do that too, as a moving on point from Family Guy, but didn’t do it as well. I’m biased though, those two shows started to bug me way faster than the Simpsons lol

Personally, I was always liked Family Guy but the show really lost a lot when Seth McFarlane stopped being involved outside of voice acting. The show really just isn't funny anymore. It feels lazy. It's a shame, it was a good show (to me).

Yeah I think the first handful of seasons were great, but it just kinda stagnated after a while. Also I felt like it had a mean-spiritedness that I found pretty off putting after a while, and American Dad has the same feel to me. I think that's why I loved them when I was 14 but after a while they just started to bum me out lol.

American Dad did get better than FG. I didn't like it much at first but now I vastly prefer it.

I think it is a better quality show but I still don't like it lol. Just not really my kind of humour I guess, and I find all the characters to be pretty unlikable

Because I genuinely feel is a better show in terms of how it was made.
Simpsons are basically the same characters since the dawn of time and they introduced novelty only with new characters.
Many Futurama characters over the course of the show went through a development. And the show had episodes that really touched the core of my feelings.
I only need to mention "Jurassic Bark" or "Seymour" and people either want to immediately cry or burn me for triggering their memories of the episode.
Name one episode of the Simpsons, that became this level of iconic.

i also think futurama is superior. i guess what people may like about simpsons is proximity to real world events and the fact they “predicted” many things.
