Futurama gets three movies! Direct to DVD or not, me no care, NEW FUTURAMA!!!

I know! And Fry's dog will be back! THEY PROMISED.

For an animated sci-fi satire they sure knew how to do bitter sweet didn't they? The orphan stuff, the seven leaf clover, etc.

But damn, that dog.

"If it takes forever, I will wait for you. For a thousand summers, I will wait for you..."

Possibly the saddest montage EVER, animated or not.
Futurama is the reason I can't watch too much Simpsons; I keep comparing them and The Simpsons always come up ultra-lite.

Even the best Simpsons was just layered with satire and barbs, I don't think it ever got as true to life emotions as Futurama manages.

Perhaps not surprising, considering the source. When cartoons approach realism too closely they get labeled anime or some such, and viewership drops. Futurama had the luxury of an alien setting to distance the audience.

I was caught so off-guard by Fry's dog! When it ended I was like, "...wait. What did they just do to me? Uh, I think I'm broken! :("

I know! It was completely unprecedented and unexpected, which is why I think it was so effective.
