I've asked my mum to get me either a Futurama Season Box Set or The Simpsons one but I dont know which one I want the most. I've started to watch Futurama more than The Simpsons now because The Simpsons seems to be dragging along and I feel like i'm wasting my time when I watch an episode for the 238211894th time.

I've only watched a handful of Futurama episodes so i'm leaning more towards that but I dont think Futurama is funnier than The Simpsons and I dont seem to understand the characters as much as I do in The Simpsons, the only names I know are Fry, Sheala and Bender.

Virgin Megastores are doing a Buy One Get One Free offer on Familty Guy, The Simpsons and Futurama DVD BOx Sets so I could get one of each.

Can you tell me whether I should get two Futurama DVDs, 2 Simpsons DVDs or one of each and can you tell me the best seasons to get.

Thank you!

What I would do, is consider the running time on each, and whether the extras (like commentaries) I would find most interesting. Depends what Simpsons series really. But still you cant go wrong with 2 Futurama, we have all of them and enjoy them muchly. We've yet to buy a Simpson series.

Hehe, I got the names mixed up, it was Leila I was talking about.

Sounds like Futurama is the winner so far, though I want to hear more opinions.

Do you think Futurama will ever replace The Simpsons? Do you think thats what they're trying to do?

Seems as they've stopped making it, no.

In those 60 seconds, magically, my answer is still yes.

Ah well, I haven't even watched a whole season's worth of the episodes so theres still much more for me to watch.

BTW, are you a regular poster who has recently changed his/her name?
