    Which leaves me to wonder...with the VP of Cartoon Network wanting to re-up FG, I wonder if he might try that for Futurama?

    Imagine if he managed to get both of them back on first-run.:D:D

    I'd like to put in a vote for 3rd Rock From the Sun.

    Every time that show comes on Fox its auto-channel change for me.

    I don't have a TV but when I did-

    UNDERATED- Full House, 8 is Enough, Hang Time, CAlifornia Dreams, The Hogan Family, and Mighty Morphin Power RAngers

    OVERATED- Family Guy, Seinfeld, Monster Garage, Perfect Strangers, The simpsons, and the Fresh Prince.

    Oh yeah and when I say Overated replace that with Underated and Vicaversa. :D

    THat one is one of my top favs also. My favorite one, is still the Porsche/golf ball picker with the air cannon.

    I am also digging Monster House and American Chopper.

    Man, Discovery has a hell of a Monday night lineup these days with those three shows.

    Ren and Stimpy are underrated and I'm glad TNN is airing new episodes latenights. Now only if they were to get rid of that "Gary the Rat" show that would open up a perfect time slot for "the Family Guy " and its non-PC humor.

    I really like Family Guy, but I've noticed there's a few jokes that they stole word-for-word from the Simpsons. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Such as?

    BTW, The Family Guy that's on tonight is a classic (they all are). When Peter's singing in the musical "I kicked the bad guys in the jewels", I am dying.

    My favorite just got kicked in the azz by the Zen House...:eek:
    Koi pong, weeping walls and a huge enclosed spa with stereo system..I want that house!

    The Tropical House on now is looking so cool right now...Flame-breathing, fog-belching Tiki god with glowing eyes, aquariums, and a Beni-hana style table with grill in the middle...:eek:

    Damn, looks like Futurama is off and replaced with Home Movies which is funny, but not Futurama funny. Adult Swim tends to switch up their schedule quite a bit.

    Lucky for me, I've got a break around 1pm when futurama is on TBS. Today was the episode where Zap destroys the brand new democratic order of planets HQ and gets kicked out of the military. It has some of the best Zap quotes.

    Zapp: "One day a man has everything and the next day he blows up a 4 hundred billion dollar space station and the next day he has nothing. It makes you think ..."
    Kif: "No it doesn't."

    Zapp: "Rock crushes scissors! But paper covers rock. And scissors cuts paper! Kif, we have a conundrum."
    Kif: *sigh*
    Zapp: "Search them for paper! And ... bring me a rock!"

    Zapp: "It's time to begin our life as civilians... That's an order soldier!"

    Zapp: "I hate these filthy neutrals Kif! With enemies you know where they stand but with neutrals? Who knows! It sickens me."

    Zapp: "How very neutral of you!"

    *talking about Leela*Zapp: "Sooo beautiful, yet so neutral."

    Zapp: "What makes a man turn neutral ... Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?"

    Zapp: "I have a plan! We will single-handedly attack our arch-enemy: The neutral planet!"
    Kif: "Oh jeez."
    Zapp: "Once the neutral war machine lies in ruins, I will be a hero again. And the DOOP will reinstate me as captain."
    Kif: "But sir, that plane makes no sense."

    Zapp: "Prepare to continue the epic struggle between good and neutral."

    Zapp: "Fly the white flag of war!"

    Neutral Official: "Your neutralness, it's a beige alert."
    Neutral Leader: "If I don't survive, tell my wife: Hello."

    Fry: "She is really strict."
    Bender: "And mean!"
    Zapp: "I see! Does she by any chance give the crew members spankings?"
    Fry: "No, she just makes do work and stuff."
    Zapp: "Good, good. But should she ever institute some sort of bare bottom spanking policy: Let me go in your place."
