Synopsis:
All the other galaxies will be green with envy! In this all-new Futurama extravaganza, mankind stands on the brink of a wondrous new Green Age. But ancient forces of darkness, three years older than time itself, have returned to wreak destruction. Even more shocking: Bender’s in love with a married fembot, and Leela’s on the run from the law – Zapp Brannigan’s law! Fry is the last hope of the universe… so if you’re in the universe, you might want to think about going somewhere else. Could this be the end of the Planet Express crew forever? Say it ain’t so, meatbag! Off we go, Into the Wild Green Yonder!

This sucks hard, Futurama was my favorite, more then The Simpons and Family Guy. It sucks that it has to die after only like 5 season when The Simpons is on like Season 19. Just end the Simpsons and continue Futurama man.
yeah keep futurama and get rid of simpsons.
