Opinion: Futurama is clearly superior to The Simpsons.
Today, were going to learn about life from the greatest men and women of the 31st century.
Welcome to Senior Week at Gawker Media!
In the 31st century, theyve got it all figured out.
Hedonismbot embraces pleasure wherever he can find it,no matter how uncouth.
Fryaccepts his rampant stupidity.
Even Professor Farnsworths totally over ourprimitive notions of modesty.
No matter how much theyshouldbe utterly ashamed of themselves, theyre not.
Still, it wasnt enough to win him the affection of the woman he was creepily obsessing over.
Leela eventually caved into Frys incessant pestering and gave Fry a chance aftera horrible coin-flipping accident.
Most notably inThe Route of All Evil.
Here, the children Dwight and Cubert start a delivery service to compete with their parents company Planet Express.
Hermes and the Professor are naturally supportive and encouraging.
The show also tackles the tough subject of parents estranged from their adult children.
Leela, orphaned from birth, reunites with her gross,genetically inferior sewer mutant parents.
Professor Farnsworthmade up with his impossibly still-alive parentsafter they were rescued from the Near-Death Star nursing home.
And when Amy was wrestling withher newfound robosexuality, her parents were there tosupport her decision.
On the Inevitable Heat Death of the Universe
Life isnt predictable and it certainly isnt easy.
No one knows this better than Fry.
He lost his entire life once when he was frozen in a tube fora million years.
Then a second time when he accidentally traveled forward in time tothe end of the universe.
All things considered, he was pretty chill about it.
Even the literal ones.
Sure he was stupid.
In fact, he was so cosmically stupid that he was often uniquely suited toaccidentally save the universe.
And yet he was probably the happiest, most easy-going person whos ever lived.
He may not actually be that helpful, butat least hell try.
Why do you ask?
