I couldant agree with Voxxyn any more if I wanted to. Another problom with Simpsons, Family Guy and even American Dad is that they are WAY too left wing for their own good. They come off as patronizing and anti Republican and that really turns me off sometimes since I consider myself a Consevative.
Futurama was differant. While Simpsons and Family Guy are very scarce on character development, (Simpsons is the biggest culprit here) Futurama continued with the formula that made us love Simpsons in the first place. It had characters that you could care about and the plots were very character driven-not driven around the characters. Things happend for a reason and the characters learned something or were affected in some way.
If this is the direction that animated sitcoms are going then I'm pretty upset. King of the Hill is the only one I can think of that hasant really changed but I was never a fan of that show to begin with.
