Originally Posted By jdub Nope. It's "Kwanzaa." I think the other poster was confusing it with that particular expulsion of forced air...

Yes, I think Futurama is very funny. I think it got a bad rap for essentially not being the Simpsons when it debuted. I think there's a handful of episodes that are better than 99% of what's ever aired on television (The Luck of the Fryish, Roswell That Ends Well, Where No Fan Has Gone Before, to name a couple). I also think there are a handful of episodes that are virtually unwatchable they're so bad. But A Tale of Two Santa's isn't one of them.

Originally Posted By Mr X Even the name is awesome. "I'm gonna open my OWN theme park...with hookers...and liquor" I wouldn't say "better" though..both are great shows. The Simpsons has been more consistent though, I think...amazing they can still keep it (sorta) fresh after 19 seasons and a movie! Have a Kwazy Kwanzaa everyone! Krusty the Clown
