Venture Brothers is better than all of them, so there.
|
Venture Brothers is pretty hilarious, but I would have to put Futurama above it still. Venture Brothers is definitely funnier than Family Guy or King of the Hill though.
|
King of the Hill is funny because of its subtlety, which is something non-existent in the McFarland universe.
|
Family Guy is in your face, shock humor. That and played out references to pop culture absurdity, like David Hasseloff and Gary Oldman beating up Hitler, or something ridiculous.
If some people want to laugh at that, fine. I don't really think it's skillfull or entertaining humor. I prefer the wit and subtleties of The Simpsons (seasons 3-9) Family Guy can't hold a candle to that. Also, King of the Hill isn't a favorite show of mine, but I respect it's humor. It's subtle and smart. I feel like the majority of Family Guy's jokes are geared to the meathead americans who prefer their humor to be direct and mindless, as a result of IQs that match their shoe size. Even The Simpsons have been guilty of pandering to this in recent years with Homer Simpson. It's a sad state of affairs when the average viewer would rather see a character make a fat joke, or fall on their face, than laugh at the hilarious musings of the Van Houten family. |
Also I can think of at least two episodes of Futurama that were so touching I almost cried. When was the last time anyone anywhere emotionally connected with a Family Guy episode?

Hey, you watch the episode with Fry's Dog and tell me you don't well up.

The great thing is it will be HD like the movies.

I enjoyed the 4 movies, they weren't as good as the episodes though, I find. LOVED Bender's Game though.

Can't wait. Only seen the first movie though. Need to check the rest out.
|
First one was the best. Second was terrible. Third was "meh". Fourth was ok.
|
Psssht Bender's Game was the best <3

Gertner, what? How can Futurama be nerd comedy but it's main demographic is somehow preppy, Abercrombie wearing, Dave Matthews loving "bros"? You're combining two conflicting stereotypes here. IT JUST DOESN'T MATCH UP!
|
I don't know the order but the one with David Cross as the monster from another universe was retarded.
|
This is AWESOME!

Wow, unless its the most hilarious show of all time, this new version of the show will fail abysmally.
|
Oh good, my boxset that says complete collection still is, as this will be horrible.
THANKS PENNY-PINCHING FOX |
suddenly I'm very sad
|
I'm not watching it :/ It'd be like watching The Simpsons with a new voice cast. The voices make the show.
|
Talk about a sting in the tail.
I can't imagine the cast were after a lot of money, I suspect it's more to do with Fox being cheap. |
because it's not just Fry, Bender and Leela. It's everyone! Zoidberg, Zapp Brannagin, Profffessor, Nixon etc. it'd be just wrong.
|
Wow, this is going to suck. Gutted.

I don't think the voice cast would demand loads of money for doing the voices. Like The Destroyer said, I think it's just Fox wanting to be cheap. I'm going to watch the first episode with the new cast just to see what it's like. I'm sure I'll hate it though, and if so, I won't watch any of the new episodes. Futurama was the best thing going for Groening at the moment, with The Simpsons losing there magic a long time ago, Futurama was probably all that he had left. Now, because of Fox, it looks like Groening is screwed. |
If this story is true, I imagine most of the audience will turn off after the first line. "Good news, everyone!" will not work with a different voice.

Awful news. Of course, I'll still czech it out because it's Futurama, but how the fuck? I mean, I could understand like, maybe one of the voice actors, but all of them basically. Especially considering many of them do multiple roles on the show. Stupid. Gonna be terrible.
crossrine |
Highly doubt they will get anyone to replace Billy West. Idiots.
crossrine |
Wow, another FOX fuck-up. What a surprise...:roll:
|
No way this is real. No way. I deny this.
|
This news is terrible.
The new episodes/films they made weren't great to be honest, and a new series was slightly worrying. With new voices for the characters, it's gonna be worse. To be honest, they would be better off creating new characters and doing something that's more of a spin off set in the same world than attempt to keep everything the same. At least that way old characters could make cameos. |
THIS IS WORSE THEN WHEN THEY REPLACED ALL THE VOICES ON POKEMON! :mad::mad:
|
Holy shit that is Retarded
|
They might as well scrap this shit because I absolutely will not tolerate ANY new voice actors for the regulars. It's unacceptable and we deserve better as fans for our loyalty to the series.:mad:
So to whoever made this decision: I hope he can see me from up here. I'm doing this as hard as I possibly can...:|[/Ignignokt]:foc: |
