Family Guy Licensed for Videogames!

The blurnsball episode had the black bar generator plug being pulled out by Bender, easily the funniest joke in the ep, and the "ebay" joke when Leela is signing autographs. The Simpsons and Futurama employ different comedy styles (or employed, in Futurama's case), and I'm thankful for it. I look for different kinds of jokes from each show, and they usually deliver. Hell, the newer Simpsons, as I mentioned before, are getting up there in quality. There was a recent episode that really could have passed for a "classic" era one, barring a few odd jokes.

Family Guy has had some really great moments (Brian singing to the dying old lady being a favorite of mine). I hope they avoid ripping off Simpsons jokes and techniques with the new episodes though.

"Futurama requires a more intelligent viewer to fully understand itself"

Since when does intelligent comedy = better by default and everyone that doesn't like it doesn't get it? That argument is so lame.

Agreed.

Not to mention Futurama isnt exactly heady stuff.

I love Futurama, Simpsons, and Family Guy. I'm also really looking forward to American Dad (still on tonight after the Superbowl?). Admitted, the Simpsons used to be a lot better but they're still fun if you go in with seriously downgraded expectations.

Slightly on topic, the Family Guy game will suck. Maybe they can pass it off as a tribute to the memory of Acclaim?

IBTN.

IBTNT.

Futurama can be very witty and clever, but it is not intelligent or anything that people try to make it out to be to pin the haters down as some sort of uncultured savage that just can't understand it.

[Rumpy]

I'd agree with watching Futurama in order to get the most out of it in later episodes. They do a lot of throw backs and being familiar with the characters make it more enjoyable.

The point is, this thread works better as a Futurama vs Simpsons thread than as a Family Guy videogame thread.

My work here is done.

I really wish all of you (the universal you, not strictly this board) Futurama-touting motherfuckers would have started supporting the show before it was cancelled forever.

Ditto.

Still, it's hard to blame the general public when FOX themselves kept preempting Futurama to air "When Crappy Reality Shows Attack" or whatever shit they were airing back then.

You never fully appreaciate something til it is gone. On that same note Go Terrel Owens

You gotta give Fox credit. They are the only network I have seen take chances on adult-oriented animated shows.

The only other show like it was some alien-invasion Drama they aired on the WB a long time ago.
