  Binary star Summary
An eclipsing binary star is a binary star in which the orbit plane of the two stars lies so nearly in the line of sight of the observer that the components undergo mutual eclipses.
Binary stars may be found with any conceivable separation, from pairs orbiting so closely that they are practically in contact with each other, to pairs so distantly separated that their connection is indicated only by their common proper motion through space.
In the case of a visual binary star, after the orbit has been determined and the stellar parallax of the system determined, the combined mass of the two stars may be obtained by a direct application of the Keplerian harmonic law.

There are two elements: a brief ‘in-text’ reference that does not interrupt the flow of the argument, and footnotes or a bibliography, listing the books or articles in full.
The ‘in-text’ reference is usually managed by a device such as: ‘Bennett (1995)’, which is elucidated as ‘Bennett, N (1995) Managing Professional Teachers, London, Paul Chapman’ in the footnotes or bibliography.

It's true that Futurama has better animation and it might just have more outlandish episodes (in the future) but until we even see more than just the pilot debates such as these are too hasty.
Futurama people, the Simpsons have been here for ten years, and because your opinion is valid, you could say the Simpsons have been going on the way down from their peak.

 Locus Online: Lucius Cook reviews Futurama on DVD
But while Futurama would stand apart on the strength of its visuals alone, what's truly unique about the series is the writers' dedication to exploring ideas, rather than simply using SF elements as a pretext for standard action-adventure stories redressed in genre stage decoration.
Where Futurama succeeds as SF is the way the writers develop and explore their story ideas in a self-consistent and intelligent manner.
Skeptics and holdouts owe it to themselves to check it out: Futurama was clearly conceived by people who had SF literature in their hearts and minds, and it deserves to find a place in the hearts and minds of fans who'll get all the jokes.

 Trekkie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, it's interesting to note that in the 1991 TV show "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary Special", Leonard Nimoy attempts to settle the issue by stating that the term 'Trekker' is the correct one.
One episode of Futurama called "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" was dedicated to parodying Trekkies by envisioning a scenario whereby a "space energy being" named "Melllvar" forces the original cast to endure a Star Trek convention for all eternity, much to the disgust of the cast.
During the trial Adams wore a Star Trek-inspired fl and red Starfleet Command division uniform, including a badge, a phaser, and a tricorder; her rank, given by her collar insignia, was Lieutenant Commander (a rank she uses for herself in everyday life).

 Amazon.ca: Futurama: Volume 1: DVD: Futurama   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
While not as universally popular as The Simpsons, Futurama is equally hip and hilarious, thanks to its zippy lateral-thinking contemporary pop cultural references, celebrity appearances (Pamela Anderson and Leonard Nimoy are among a number of guest stars to appear as disembodied heads in jars), and Bender, a distinctly Homer Simpson-esque robot.

 Flare Sci-Fi Forums: Why are we so mad keen on Trek ships?
Star Trek was the first series to create a cohesive universe.
No other show or series up to the point of Star Trek created such a universe that made sense, was consistent and worked well with the rest of the whole.
Star Wars has a lot of neat ships, but the approach is more haphazard and random, which implies a lot more work if you want to wring consistency out of it.

Well, actually that is the plot of Futurama, a prime time animated TV show about a pizza delivery boy who is accidentally put into cryogenic suspension and reawakened in the Year 3000.
A lot of talent involved in The Simpsons also contributed to Futurama and the net effect is the same: Futurama is a hilariously funny goofball satire.

 TV Review: Futurama - 'Mechanical House'
Also, the references to the Animal House/Revenge of the Nerds lineage of frat films -- the sorority house scene, the regatta -- were refreshing, although maybe "refreshing" isn't the word to use for Bender's flamethrower Belushi belch.
Unfortunately, unlike the Simpsons, Futurama continues to miss the target on 20th Century satire, despite its supreme vantage point in the 30th Century.
Bender was a frat bot with a reputation.

The second season of Futurama showcases writing that's as good as The Simpsons and there's no doubt in my mind that it's just as funny.
