i'm actually impressed in a twisted sort of way. you started with the first episode and ended with the last line of the last episode.

I'm a huge huge fan of Futurama. I can;t believe its coming back, I can't wait. I hear that it'll be direct to DVD movies? Any return is good to me.
I notice a lot of similarities between the Futurama and Firefly. They both focus on crews on a ship that earns most of its money on delivery-like missions. Also look at the characters:
Wash - Fry (the joker, doesn't take things too seriously)
Jayne - Bender (the muscle, not too smart, likes beer)
Book - Professor Farnsworth (old & wise)
Kaylee - Amy (cute mechanic)
Zoe - Leela (woman with attitude & fighting skills)
Simon - Kif (meek, caring, hard working)
River - Nibbler (cute but hides dark secrets)
Mal - Zoidberg (hehe, ran out of main characters)

Actually, I always saw the Professor as a mix of both Book and Mal. Book for his age and wisdom, and Mal for his crankiness and occassional abouts of insanity. Mal would definitly have an angry dome if he could afford it.
And Simon's a bit of Kif and Zoidberg, only not as incompetent about medicine. I always thought ot would be funny as Hell to see Simon get a mandatory physical from anther sci-fi doctor,and of all of them get Zoidberg.
