I'm not actually angry. I just had too much coffee this morning. When I get angry, I don't talk about specifics, I start going on big rants about philosophy and what it means to do great things and opiates of the masses and such.

I still like Futurama, but I wish that would tone it down a bit. Not every episode needs to be an universe-saving epic filled with an overwhelming blend of character quirks and life-threatening danger. At least two thirds of the episodes of the later seasons are like that, which makes it draining for the watcher.
I still think there's a lot of interesting development (Fry/Leela being a couple is great), but it is starting to ring hollow when you try too hard.
Meanwhile, The Simpsons is slowly creeping back toward being funny. I'm actually watching new episodes...
Yeah, I've been hearing that lately. The thing is, with ~15 seasons since I stopped watching, I feel like I wouldn't know where to start. The couple of episodes I randomly gave a shot in the last year were ok at best. (I did like the future Christmas special/possible show finale one of the old-school Futurama writers did a year or two ago.) And most of the people who have been watching consistently enough to make recommendations are the same people who don't understand why the teen seasons are worse than the first ~8.
If you're watching current Simpsons, you really should stick around for Bob's Burgers afterwards. The first season is mixed, as happens with a lot of comedies, but it gets pretty good - not great or special, but pretty good - after that.
Next week is the honest-to-god-we're-finally-ending-this-series-for-real-this-time episode.
Is anyone going to tune in for the final sendoff?
Has Season 7 at all given any permanent depth or change to the Futurama universe? If not, I can probably watch it. Honestly, I got overloaded with that in Futurama with the last two seasons because every episode tried to be so grand-scale. (And Fry STILL devoting himself to Leela)

Greg just seems like an angry dude.
Am I the only person who likes this show?
That show looks pretty cool.

Everything pre Futurama movies, was good. Everything after goes up and down, but mostly down hill.
