Futurama is by the same guy that did the Simpsons. It's about a Pizza Boy (Fry) who accidently gets frozen and reawakened in the year 3000.
There is also a robot called Bender (who is a girder bending robot), a one eyed humandoid alien named Leela, Dr. Zoigburg who is a Lobster alien plus a few more.
Basically it's a similar kind of humour to the Simpsons.
The Simpsons is an ongoing classic tale of the american family. Of course, most families don't get into as many wacky adventures as the Simpsons.
Even the episodes I don't find particulary funny, they are always top notch. The family is presented with a problem, and they may or may not be at each other's throats throughout the episode. But in the end, they are always at peace with one another, and are a family. How may shows can you say that about? Every episode is a happy ending.
