The DVDs are so good, you don't realise how much of the good stuff is censored for TV.

'Amazonian Women in the Mood' just shows this, it's one of the best by far.

Woman - "Silence, you will die like last men visit Amazonia."
Fry - "What did they die of?"
Woman - "Crushed pelvises."

Fry -"Yes!"
Zapp - "Oh thankyou lord in Heaven!"

That scene had me laughing for ages, it's cut out when they show it on TV, it's a sod.

The other one that's really heavily censored is the one where Dr. Zoidberg goes back home to mate, so much is cut out of that one, worth watching the DVD version if you haven't seen it just for a few amazing one liners.

Dr. Zoidberg: How will I ever get rid of my male jelly now?
Fry: (Offers him his severed arm.) I'll lend you this.

Heh.

Simpsons episodes don't have to make sense.

You do have to look at it from both sides though. Yes, Futurama didn't use up all of it's potential, but at least every single episode was peak quality rather than The Simpsons which has turned into a shadow of the show it once was.

It's almost like Groening quit while he was ahead, before it got stale and old. Another season or two would have gone down nicely, but at least we'll all remember it for being a kick-ass TV show that was consistently brilliant, rather than when we watch The Simpsons and have all our fond memories dragged through the mud with increasingly crap and ridiculous story lines.

Sky One and Channel 4 did different things.

Zoidberg: Okay Fry, we need to look inside you with this camera.

*Fry opens mouth*

Zoidberg: Guess again.

I'm trying to get as many animated box sets as I can. I try to watch Futurama when I can, but at the moment the Family Guy and Simpsons DVDs remain my pick of the week! But still, Futurama is a great show!

Futurama got cancelled before it really got going.
It had so much more potential than the Simpsons, with an endless universe to explore. You can see how much the Simpsons is running out of steam from the bizzareness in most of the new episodes.

That made me laugh really hard. Time to go back and watch some of the DVDs, methinks.

I always found Family Guy to be quite sub-standard overall, although there are some great moments in it (The Special Olympics for instance). I think it's just that I don't like any of the characters.
