so i just finished watching season one of futurama, which i had not intended to buy today, and damn, i had forgotten what a cool show it is. the whole show is like the simpsons, but compiled with -fenable-geeky-humor turned on. it's unfortunate that it never became more of a mainstream success, but honestly it would have been surprising if it had, considering the subject matter. still, going back and rewatching the old episodes is amusing, as just like in the simpsons there are a million and one little amusing details hidden in each episode.
