Futurama was more trying to be newer than the simpsons.I really don't like the simpsons anymore, though.
They're both made by the same person, if I remember correctly.
On June 9, 2009, 20th Century Fox announced that Comedy Central had picked up the show for 26 new half-hour episodes that will begin airing in mid-2010.[4][5][6] A smaller writing crew will return.[69] It was originally announced that main voice actors West, DiMaggio, and Segal would return as well, but on July 17, 2009, it was announced that a casting notice was posted to replace the entire cast when 20th Century Fox Television would not meet their salary demands.[70] It was later resolved and the original cast will be on the set for the new episodes. Many fans were disheartened to see that the cast was not at the Futurama booth at San Diego Comic-Con International. According to Phil LaMarr (who voiced Hermes on the show), the cast's invitation was retracted by FOX because of a dispute over the salaries.[71]
They've been talking about a 4th season, but as far as I know, that's what the 4 movies were.
4th was already made, the 4 movies were the 5th season
