Quote: "Futurama is in a league of its own. It's an insult to even compare it to Family Guy."
I wasn't comparing it to Family Guy, I was just surprised no one had mentioned it before then. Family Guy and Futurama are nowhere near the same category of show!
Quote: "...it's not exactly replete with humour."
Are you8 kidding me? There's a ridiculous amount of "the funnies" in every episode, the more you watch the more background stuff you notice, too. Sure, it has its fair share of "serious" episodes, but even those have humorous sub-plots that involve Zoidberg or other characters. It has humor everywhere!
I would argue that Family Guy's "humor" is more "shock value" than anything...
