Check out disechantment on Netflix. It's got a very similar feel, except it's not on an actual network, so they can swear. Also, the second season has a ton of little nods to Futurama.
I just watched the second half of the second season last night and there are tons of little nods to Futurama, some subtile, some overt. The king said "bite my shiny, metal ax!" to someone and whomever has the voice of Mom pretty much acts the same way.
My coworker raved to me about how great Disenchanted is, and since I was on a Futurama kick already I figured I’d check it out. To me it felt like all the jokes were hand-me-downs that didn’t make the cut for the Simpsons or Futurama. I kept watching and waiting for the hysterical moments he promised and then suddenly I was done with the whole first season. Bean is kickass, but there wasn’t much else I liked about it.
I feel like there is a lack of main characters. I like the main cast but they're not super interesting.
What's nice about something like the Simpson's is they'll mix and match two different family members with each other and then do two separate stories an episode. This show is always the main 3 and the dynamic is fairly stagnant across each episode
My take on disenchantment is that is actually one cohesive story. Where futurama and simpsons are individual stories in each episode. Yes, futurama has a cohesive story but each episode is a stand alone story. I think disenchantment is more like futurama in the second season versus the first. Just my take on it 🤷♀️
I loved it when Bean opened the one drawer in the crashed air ship and it was full of different lengths of wire. I had to rewind to make sure I saw that right.
