Futurama Tv Show is an extraordinary show, and set in the future, the language expressed also has an extraordinary style.
In the backgrounds of almost all episodes, if you notice three alphabets are seen in an alternative pattern. Some times it is seen as a warning sign post or graffiti or at times advertisements. Some people find it intriguing to decode as well but most of these messages can be easily translated into English.

But not many might know about fact that the first alphabet is Alienese, meaning that it is made up in abstract way and has been inspired from some alphabet of Latin origin. It is difficult to understand the second alphabet as it is worked out in a complex way, a sum of the earlier letters and the present letter. The third one is in Hebrew most of the times.

Now this really is a hobby for many fans I tell you, to break and decipher these codes and languages. The terminology of English has also seen certain modifications like Christmas, for example is referred to as Xmas and aks is a replacement for ask, being pronounced like axe.

Even as you see glimpses of the French culture, the language is certainly missing, much to the chagrin of some fans and amusement for others. It is also interesting to note here that German language that is shown as the absent language of the universe of Futurama when the show is dubbed in French.
I guess, that’s it, if you have some more information to share, do share it with us through the comment section.
Take care all.

Futurama and The Simpsons are of course two very different shows. One is a sci - fi sitcom, whereas another is a family comedy. If one has had a successful run of five seasons, The Simpsons has been running for around twenty seasons now.

Although it will be foolish to compare these shows, yet the fact remains that both of these anime shows, meant to humor us, have been extremely successful and have enjoyed cult fan following. I feel it is a special achievement for Futurama that its name features on The Simpsons at times.

For all those who have missed out, or need a recollection let me take you around at times, where Futurama’s name comes up in The Simpsons. In the last episode of the 15th season of the show, ‘Fraudcast News’, Squeaky Voiced Teen, tries to jump from a cliff, to attempt suicide, while shouting, “Why did they cancel Futurama?”

Although Bender from Futurama has arrived many times on The Simpsons, the most prominent, was in the 16th season’s 15th episode, which was itself named after Futurama, “Future-Drama”.

And how could Fry be left behind? “HOMR”, which is the 9th episode of 12th season features Fry in the couch gag of the episode. The creator of both the shows, Matt Groening, once made an appearance on the episode “My Big Fat Geek Wedding”, (episode 17, season 15); he is referred to as Futurama’s creator. Even in the “That 90’s Show” (episode 11, season 19), Homer tells Bart and Lisa, “A struggling Matt Groening created Futurama.”

Many of you would have also noticed the Futurama t-shirt, which is clearly seen at the science fiction convention on Mayored to the Mob (episode 9, season 10).

And this is not all, for all those who have played or checked out The Simpsons Game; in order to reach into the office of Matt Groening, you need to clear a level, in which you would be confronted by two famous characters of Futurama, Zoidberg and Bender.

Now is this not cool? Linking of two very hilarious shows?
