My problem is that I'm such a fan of the older episodes is that that's ALL I watch. I'm not that upset about this though, all things considered. It's better to die a great show then live to become anything less.

Comedy Central has decided to make the upcoming seventh season its last, and the series finale will air this September, featuring Fry and Leela's wedding. What do you think about this? While I definetely had fond memories of the show in its early years, the show has showed a noticeable drop in quality, so I'm kind of glad they are going, since they are starting to overstay their welcome, and a few more shows could learn this lesson (Family Guy, The Office, ect.). Here is the article: http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/04/22/futurama-not-renewed-comedy-central/

It was until it was brought back by comedy central. The old episodes were great, the ones on CC were mediocre.

There were still some good recent episodes, though they were a lot less frequent. One of my personal favorites is the one about Bender not having free will.

Rats. They were nothing compared to the old episodes, but they were still better than most other shows on TV now.

[QUOTE="Motokid6"]The new episodes weren't as good, but they still made me laugh. And I hope family guy never dies. "That's it .. I'm gonna do it! .. I'm gonna jump!" "... Do a flip!"

That's a show that should have died a LONG time ago. Or was never revived.

Futurama wasn't that great to begin with. It was good fun watching once but I watched a few older episodes again and man it isn't quality comedy like Archer or Home Movies.

It was a good show to kick off the new century but it's pretty stale now. Same goes for Family Guy and a couple of other shows that are still dragging on from the late 90s-early 2000s.

Yeah it's unfortunate that they are cancelling it, but we should be glad that we did get so many more extra episodes of a great show. It may not have been quite as funny as the older seasons, but most were far from bad as well. Not many shows get to come back with the original cast. I would have rather CC canceled one of their other newer shows that are not that good and keep Futurama instead though.

I love Futurama, it will be dearly missed. Also, I have no idea when Family Guy and America Dad will end, it feels like Seth never wants those shows to end and have them go on forever like The Simpsons.

That was my other problem with it. The whole Leela and Fry thing wasn't great and took way too much time away from comedy.

New episodes were painfully unfunny/ tried way too hard to recreate the emotion that episode with Fry's dog did but was just boring and not sad or heartfelt

1st 4 seasons are the only amazing seasons, though I'll miss it despite being now not up to par.

[QUOTE="Hallenbeck77"][QUOTE="Deadpool-n"]

Exactly... The Simpsons has been terrible for quite a long time. Even Family Guy is dragging on, it also needs to end.

Ring_of_fire

The Simpsons keep going just for the fact it's still a cash cow for Fox, although next season may be its last. As far as Family Guy, I felt it should have never came back after it was cancelled the first time, but that's just me.

I may be crazy.......but the last season or two of the Simpons have been quite decent. 2-11 quality? Hell no......but better than the period in between

Strangely, the way I've seen it is the Simpsons has dropped off in quality quite a bit in comparison to its old seasons, but it's still better than most of its competition on today.

A low-quality Simpsons episode from the last 5 years is still better than a post-cancellation Family Guy episode, or any of it's 50 spin-offs, at least to my personal tastes.

It got cancelled once, made some small movies and then actually got revived on Comedy Central to tough it out for a few more seasons. Pretty far out man.

7 seasons is enough for just about any show. JML897

Not necessarily. Look at Family Guy and The Simpsons.
