Futurama

Matt Groening is a&nbsp;talented man. The creator of The Simpsons could have been content with his critical acclaim in creating America's <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-simpsons-epi-ma-sodes/analise.dubner" target="_blank">longest running primetime television show</a>, but instead of coasting on his achievements, he gave us another quintessential animated series:&nbsp;Futurama.Futurama is vastly different in genre, and has had a bumpier life on television, as it was&nbsp;canceled and then picked up again years later on another network,&nbsp;but these facts just play into what makes this <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-animated-series-ever-made" target="_blank">animated&nbsp;show</a> great. Sure, there is crossover among fans of each show, and Groening's style is evident in both, but in this hierarchical world, one must be better than the other. Here are some concrete&nbsp;reasons why Futurama&nbsp;is a better show than The Simpsons.

Their color schemes are questionable and they don't look like they belong to one of Capcom's beloved IPs.

The '90s was a time when every video game company on Earth was trying to give us the next big gaming mascot that could compete with Mario.
