![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, lightning didn't strike twice, and Futurama barely made it through four and a half seasons (not bad for most series, but somehow a disappointment when taking in Groening's one-hit wonder track record). Hopes were high when Fox greenlit Groening's long-delayed follow-up series, Futurama, which mixed in its own anarchic way that long ago animated series The Jetsons with the patented irreverent Homer and Company brand of humor. Matt Groening and crew have set the animated standard for our age with The Simpsons (recently renewed through its 22nd season). I wonder if the same theories are applicable to successive creations by more or less the same team for different television series. There have been a lot of studies on how birth order affects the success of siblings.
