10 Animated Shows To Watch If You Miss Futurama

Even though it came from the mind and team that brought you one of the most well-loved and world-famous TV shows ever, Futurama didn’t attain quite the same longevity. The show drew legions of committed fans from every corner of the Earth, but it just couldn’t stop itself from being canceled. And then revived. And then canceled again.

We’ve put together a list of shows that should help fans of the show find an animated comedy to keep them going once they’ve reached the end of Futurama for the tenth time.

10 Disenchantment

From the same mind that invented both Futurama and The Simpsons, comes Disenchantment. While The Simpsons takes on a more family-friendly approach a lot of the time, Disenchantment has the more adult-leaning storylines and jokes that will resonate with fans of Futurama.

It might be set in the distant past rather than the distant future, but the two shows have a lot in common.

9 Family Guy

Leaning towards the darker side of the comedy spectrum, Family Guy is for those who like the more twisted side of Futurama’s humor.

The self-absorbed character of Peter Griffin and Bender often overlap, with a lot of inexplicable storylines coming as a result of both shows’ ability to disregard the rules.

8 Spongebob SquarePants

10 Animated Shows To Watch If You Miss Futurama

Spongebob SquarePants might be a children’s TV show, but it is far from a show only children can enjoy. Littered with Avant-Garde, surrealistic art and storyline direction, this is a show perfect for those looking to replicate the general weirdness of Futurama.

At the same time, Spongebob manages to fill itself with jokes that would go straight over the heads of most kids.

7 King Of The Hill

Greg Daniels has had an incredibly rich history in comedy, working on everything from The Simpsons to The Office. His co-creation, King of the Hill, is almost opposite Futurama in many ways.

It’s filled with mundanity and small-scale plots built on realism and finding the humor in situations an audience can resonate with, rather than those built on dramatic alien adventures. Having said that, fans of the comedy within Futurama are likely to lap up every word spoke in King of the Hill.

6 South Park

Steeped in controversy from its inception, South Park is one pretty much exclusively for those who like Futurama when it took a nose-dive into more offensive territory.

If Bender was making a particularly crass remark, you might be reminded of a certain Eric Cartman, even if the latter ramps things up to their extremes. One thing to remember about South Park is that everything is taken to the extreme. You won’t find a single thing here safe for whole-family viewing.

5 Rick And Morty

10 Animated Shows To Watch If You Miss Futurama

Time travel, surrealism, and just downright craziness comes at you in excess from the critically acclaimed world of Rick and Morty.

Much like the world of Futurama, the world of Rick and Morty is split between relatively simplistic adventures in a ‘normal’ world, and far-reaching travels through space and time.

4 American Dad

10 Animated Shows To Watch If You Miss Futurama

Think of Family Guy, but then tone it down a bit. American Dad (created by the same man who created Family Guy) is just as surreal and farfetched but with just a little less ‘edge’.

That isn’t to say it’s less funny, but if you want to feel the humor of Futurama again but without so much adult content, then this could be for you. Plus it has an alien as a lead character.

3 Jeff & Some Aliens

10 Animated Shows To Watch If You Miss Futurama

Just from the title, you can see why fans of Futurama will probably love this show.

It was just ten episodes long and quickly canceled, but the show (built on the premise of three aliens finding the most average person to use to find out more about humanity) will appeal to the alien-centric Futurama fans.

2 BoJack Horseman

10 Animated Shows To Watch If You Miss Futurama

It might not have aliens, but what BoJack Horseman has is animals. Anthropomorphic animals who all speak and exist in a world alongside humans with no one batting an eyelid.

If you like the strange juxtaposition of humans and aliens that Futurama uses and want to combine it with a truly dark, hard-hitting storyline, then BoJack Horseman (one of the best shows of the 2010s) is a great choice.

1 The Simpsons

It’s almost impossible to ignore The Simpsons when talking about Futurama. After all, they’re almost the same show. Sure, Futurama is set in the future, but The Simpsons can predict the future.

Bender looks like Homer, Matt Groening created them both and the two shows share the same comedic appreciation. The Simpsons is arguably the greatest TV show ever made, and will certainly fill the Futurama-shaped void in your life.
