While The Simpsons was funny Futurama is funny and geeky. It follows the lives of a bunch of misfits in the year 3000. Any science-fiction cliche you care to mention can be seen and is probably made fun of. Take your pick of favourite characters; they all have great moments. There are so many good episodes the only quick recommendation is to watch them all. The very last episode is one of my favourites; a lovely way to bow out.

Although this sit-com is set in the real world it's so packed with science-fiction and film references it's surprising they can fit a plot in at all. A really enjoyable show which went on to inspire the hit movie Shaun of the Dead. I'd also recommend the DVD commentry which is filled with interesting facts about the series production.
