This show is really funny compared to The Simpsons!!! This show has really bad swearing like c***, b******, h***, d***, and a**. This also has a lot of drinking, for example, champagne (Zap Branninigan pronounces it literally), wine, "Slurm", and beer. This also made references to The Simpsons, so this has consumerism. Overall, this show is really iffy for 11, but age appropriate. This is the same for the movies. So for now: BITE MY SHINY METAL A**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another Classic by Matt Groening
This show is very funny and I have been watching it for about a year or 2 now. It is very funny but has a bit of an edgy side. For older pre-teens it should be okay and for younger kids, the innuendo and stuff will fly over their little heads. But if younger than 11 watch with parents!!

A funny cartoon for teens and young adults~
Definitely NOT a show for younger kids, probably not too great for tweens either. I started watching this show when I was twelve and I instantly loved it. Although the comedy is crude and some jokes can be insulting to certain people, I think this show is really funny and great entertainment.

Futurama and The Simpsons vs. Family Guy
I love this show. I watch it with my mom all of the time. I watch every episode I can considering I am limited to only certain episodes. This is 50 - 50 TV-14 v TV-PG though currently on tv most TV-14 episodes. This is a great show for over 10. Much better than Family Guy. Although I cant watch it it looks stupid. Watch "The Simpsons" on fox.

Epic.
This is my favorite show. Its like the simpson and family guy combined, but in the future. Even my 8 yr old sister loves it, all the innuendo goes in one ear and out the other.

A modern day classic
I've been watching this show since I was 8, and i've loved it ever since. It is a hilarious show with occasional innuendos (only moderate though) that people of all ages can enjoy.

Funny... but watch out
Futurama is great! Kids should be mature enough to handle Bender's mild swearing or the innuendo. However, this show is hilarious!

Great Show, Fine For 9 and Up
I've been watching this show since I was 9 years old. I'd get all of my homework done and tune in every night at 9:30 on comedy central to watch it. I already got all of the jokes and thought nothing of it. My mother never liked it which proves that it only appeals to certain audiences, one of which I am a part of. Sure there's kissing, but come on... Don't you think 9-year-olds already know about MORE than that anyway? Besides, the majority of the kissing is between Fry and Leela, a pair that has taken 10 years to appear after multiple times of Fry expressing his love for Leela. What is more wholesome and kindhearted than that? Sure Bender's cursing and stealing is a constant happening on the show, but I would see that all of the time and I didn't grow up to be a raging, smoking, alcoholic, kleptomaniac! It's just a show. It's not going to alter your children's behavior. Unless you have a really easily alterable kid.

The Jetsons + The Simpsons = one of the best shows ever!!!!
I love this show. It's funny how Bender only needs alcohol to function which means work like as if he was walking around the earth, when he comes back he wouldn't be fully functional anymore, the opposite of fully functional lol. Most robots only need fuel, electricity or oil to function. There are some aliens so they may do some violent things which they always are. It's good how it's popular. I watch it alot while studying for my math, language arts, social studies, science and french tests. It's a good tool to use to do anything cause It's the best show yet! I Wonder what it would be like if Family Guy meets Yogi Bear which would also be like this except it would be a family that are all bears and act like dorks like always in jellystone national park murdering people instead of stealing their food. I hope they make more shows just as futuristic as this!

Matt Groening is awesome; Seth McFarlane is not so awesome
Futurama + Simpsons= BEST TWO SHOWS EVER MADE!!!! Futurama is nothing to be worried about if your above or 13 years old. Good for mature 9 and 10 year olds IN SOME EPISODES! If i were at TV Critic which i want to be i would rate it 50% TV PG and 50% TV 14. Not as bad as The Cleveland Show, Family Guy, American Dad and dont even dare touch Allen Gregory. Stupid and inappropriate.

Great for anyone twelve and up.
This show is one of the funniest shows they have on TV. It's made by Simpsons creator, Matt Groening. The show has some iffy messages here and there, but sometimes they can be good. One in particular is when Fry finds the fossilization of his dog in a museum. He fights hard to get his dog back to life, and doesn't stop. He gets his dog and nearly brings him to life, but he stops and thinks he lived a full good life already and doesn't need to come back. It's a sad episode, but probably the best they ever did. The sex in it can be rough sometimes, but it's about as bad as the Simpsons have it.

unpredictable
I think it is pretty unpridictable to see what you will see. It should fly over kids heads.

Futurama
A really great show. Appropriatenesswise (wish that was a word) it's about as bad as friends. there will be mild language and some sex references, but that's as far as it goes.
