Assume the Family Guy season premier will have Cleveland move back to Quahog then. Hell, they'll prob have most of the cast from Cleveland show move over to Family Guy. As for the Simpsons being cancelled... please no. Most people gave up on it, but I still think the shows good. Not as good as it was back in the day, but still better than alot of shit on tv. Hell, watching the new Treehouse of Horror is like a yearly tradition for me. As for Futurama, I'd rather see Fox get rid of Bobs Burgers and pop Futurama into that timeslot. Honestly don't see why a bunch of people like Bobs. I've watched a good couple of episodes trying to give it a chance and just can't stand it.

This. The recent episodes weren't that great anyway.

Same. I really don't get what's so funny about it and my sense of humor is pretty dry/obscure.

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-04-23 09:45

Since Futurama came back after the last movie the show itself has been kinda stale for me. A lot of the humor just didn't set in and it felt like it was trying too hard at times.

As for Bob's Burgers it's one of those shows you've got to watch more of to like it, like KOTH for some people.

Bob's Burgers shits on the rest of Fox's Sunday Night from a great height. You need to watch more of it, the first episode is not very representative of the show's heights.

Bob's Burgers does look pretty good, though I've only seen 1 episode and 1 preview. I just wish the girl's voice didn't creep me the hell out.

**Boyiee** · 2013-04-23 12:55

Friend really liked Bob's Burgers but I never gave it a chance. Maybe I'll look into it again.

I've seen almost every Bob's. I wouldn't miss it... Very rarely would I say it's good, just so odd at times that I can usually sit through it.

Trying too hard was definitely a good way to describe it. Every episode seemed like it had to do something completely ridiculous/wacky/overblown and it just got to the point where the scenarios just became completely convoluted and nonsensical, the original show had plenty of wackiness but the situation came before the humor, not the other way around.

Way too much forcing recent world topics into the stories in the most ham handed ways and the direct pop-culture references are just cringe worthy, not funny and completely nonsensical given the whole...future...thing. Also cursing for the sake of cursing, so out of place and awkward.

It was Futurama as written by a bunch of random writers at CC that had nothing better to do.

I still like it, but I don't rewatch the new episodes like I had the original ones.

I'd be curious if any of the writers are the same as well. I mean shit they even made up their own language in the earlier episodes that worked completely and all other sorts of cool and interesting shit. The new episodes all seem more "family guyish" to me with characters just adapting to w/e the story is

Futurama is one of those shows for me that if it's on and nothing else is I'll watch it. It's not terrible, but not amazing.

I think that's how it is for most people, and is the main reason it's being canceled.

**Madeline** · 2013-04-23 20:53

Eh, can't say I'm surprised it's being cancelled. It just wasn't what it used to be and Comedy Central is rubbish these days.

A for effort though. If it weren't stuck on a channel I never bother looking at anymore, I might've watched it more than I did.

**Vaspinne** · 2013-04-24 01:49

I have to disagree with a lot of statements, I really enjoyed the new episodes. At the same time, I'm not really too upset that the show is being canceled. Don't want to drag it out ala Simpsons style. Albeit, if they can make it good like the last half-season of south park (which was amazing), then I wouldn't mind seeing more.

**Azat** · 2013-04-24 10:41

It was awesome they survived this long, but they did suffer a lot from the reduced budget of ComedyCentral. If I recall correctly they had to lose most of the old writing team to a fraction of what it was and in addition scale back potential stories because of the animation costs.
