Were Family Guy and Futurama originally ahead of their time?!


Question: The both got cancelled. Formed a HUGE fan base thanks to cartoon network, and are now both back on the air. Futurama episodes are being done by Comedy Central... and we all know Family Guy is new on Fox. Simply put, were these two cartoons simply ahead of their time, and America just wasn't ready for them yet?

You know they were. People either weren't smart enough to get it, don't know that cartoons can be good enough for adults too, or people are just losing their sense of humor.

Good theory, however both of these shows were cancelled due to problems within the network (FOX). They weren't like and so both of them got pulled. The fans are the ONLY reason both of them were able to come back. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE FUTURAMA!

I think people struggled to connect with the surreal nature of the shows, though I dont think they were ahead of there time. I just think they werent that instantly accessible to a mainstream audience. Like many great shows, I bet they were originally given poor time slots as well, and treated badly by the networks.

Not really, Fox didn't give them enough time to develop their own fan bases.

America was ready, she just didn't know they were there!

that is plausible but if you look at it Family Guy was ahead of the curve so far that now america is just catching up and the censors and suckbutts at Fox cheated us out of some laughs, Futurama was more subtle in its humor and i guess Fox did not want to give the Simpsons creator a second alltime hit so we live in repeat heaven unless...................
