I like Family Guy, but I think it's broader, less thoughtful, humor is why it has made a comeback where Futurama has stayed on in reruns. There are a lot of sci-fi and horror inside jokes on Futurama that people who are not into that subculture just don't get. Just like people who have never actually met a redneck fail to see the humor in King of the Hill. There are also a lot of political jokes in the old Futurama eps that might go over people's heads, but I loved this show.
I can't pick a favorite ep, but one of my favorite scenes is when Zoidberg and Fry fight over the lobster girl and they play the Star Trek fight music.
The Eps with Fry's dog and the 5 leaf clover (is that right?) are thought provoking episodes too.
