I'm so proud of my fellow Escapists! Futurama is by far the best series, it's in fact one of my favourite series of all time! And anyone that's seen both seems to agree!

I love them both but did vote for The Simpsons as it's like a family thing we watch in our house but even I can admit it started to suck around series 8...

By far and wide, 100% Futurama. 'Nugh said.

I loved the 90's Simpsons, I hate today's Simpsons.

The Simpsons between season 3 and season 10 is the best TV show ever. Futurama's great too and, with the last 12 years of the Simpsons considered, it is better on average, but The Simpsons was just brilliant. People seem to forget that, they're vision is clouded by its years of shiteness.

If we take both at their peak, The Simpsons owns Futurama, but Futurama was never allowed to become terrible (yet) so it isn't really comparable.

Overall, I prefer the Simpsons. From seasons 2-12 or so (debatable with personal taste) it's pure gold. I still enjoy the show, I don't think it's an abomination like most older Simpsons fans apparently do, but it's nowhere near what it used to be.

More recently, Futurama has been the better show. Like a lot have said already, they're really starting to embrace the fact that episodes can literally be about anything and just going nuts with it.

I like both shows, but I prefer Futurama.

As to why, well, I don't have a reason... I just find more enjoyment in Futurama.

What on did you think the demographic on this sight would say?
The Simpsons didn't have a chance. Look at those numbers...

But seriously, yeah, Futurama.

How could anyone, ever, ever, ever pick Futurama over The Simpsons?

The Simpsons was the best show on television until season 10. 10 count em, 10 seasons of being the best show on TV.

Futurama has never been the best show on TV, not even the best comedy, not even the best comedy cartoon.

It is decent. Nothing special.

Simpsons is classic. This poll shocks me.

Both shows suck at this point, but I prefer the Simpsons since there are jokes not just "Hurr durr its da opposite so its funny" like Futurama which IMO has always sucked. I found it funny when I was like 8, but by now I've seen better stuff and it's just ugh.

Wait what? You expect everyone to have not only the same opinion but to base their opinion off of ratings?

You answered your own question.

I find myself trying to keep a positive attitude when I watch the Simpsons but Futurama has always been good. (okay maybe these recent 3-4 Comedy Central episodes have been a little off. They are stretching Zoidberg a little thin.)

ok, the first few episodes of the latest comeback season of Futurama felt a little "Simpsonsy" to me... and I just absolutely hated it! BUT, they got their act together and the rest of the season is looking great! man I love that show!

Let me think
Futurama
Pro: More detail in story and characters, the memes that came out of the shows.
Con: More of a Drama then a comedy (see link below).

Simpsons
Pro: Heavy in pop culture, Story grows and advance
Con: Everything aged

I don't know but because there are new Futuramas during the summer while the Simpsons doesn't, Futurama got my vote

As soon as I saw the thread title I said to myself. "Futurama is going to win by a landslide"

It has better humour, characters, plots, writing and is more original and creative.

It just seems like they are trying to milk the simpsons perpetually now. It has outlived its stay by a few years now.

Well I voted Futurama but I would prefer a tie vote option. I mean I grew up with the simpsons and it is an epic series. I prefer futuramas premise but they both deserve top spot for me;)

If you're comparing today's Simpsons vs Futurama, I'll pick Futurama.

If it's the entire body of work or Simpson's episodes from the early 1990s, the the Simpson's should.

Fox should never have cancel Futurama, even if that meant Family Guy never debuted..
