| 4. | Futurama | ||
|
Pretty much one of the best cartoon television series marketed to an older audience in existence. Created by David X. Cohen and Matt Groening (also the creator of The Simpsons), Futurama is a sci-fi themed comedy about Fry, a lovable, average-Joe and simpleton from the 20th century, being frozen for 1000 years and waking up in a 30th century version of New York, called New New York.

Under strange circumstances he befriends Leela, a one-eyed mutant woman who is stuck-up and opinionated but knows how to kick the living crap out of nearly anyone, and Bender, a sassy, street-wise, trash talking, chain-smoking robot who runs on alcohol. Together, they deliver packages throughout the universe for Planet Express, a delivery company run by Hubert Farnsworth, Fry's only relative in the 30th century, and an elderly, eccentric professor. The show has tons of laughs, awesome characters, great plots with a surprising amount of continuity for a show of its type. The art and voice talent are also great. The show's characters and setting allows for endless plot opportunities. Its science-fiction but you don't really have to be a fan of the genre to enjoy it. The show had a decent run, from 1999 to 2003, but most fans can agree that this is not long enough. The show was canceled by Fox, but reruns can be seen on The Cartoon Network in the US and Teletoon in Canada. Fortunately, in a similar fashion to Family Guy, its DVD sales popularity has resurrected the series;... |

| 5. | cromulent | ||
|
(Adj.) Used to describe a dubious or made up word, term, or phrase that is entirely plausible because it makes logical sense within existing language conventions.
Ironically, the word comulent itself is not cromulent. (See incromulent) Origin: Television writer David X. Cohen for The Simpsons episode 3F13, "Lisa the Iconoclast". My friend didn't believe me when I told her that meese was the plural of moose, but she admitted that it was entirely cromulent.

| 6. | Libra | ||
|
A Libra is somebody who is SEXY, FUN, and COOL. It is said that Librans should switch attitudes with Capricornians because their look matches them well. Libras look like they haven't a care in the world, but will most likely be the one to run in the burning building to save the trapped and left-behind. They LOVE the lucrative and luxurious! But that doesn't mean they won't give over recieving. Libras have these overwhelming personalities that sometimes lead others the wrong way. Some people don't like Libras because they "seem full of themselves." Which they are, but that doesn't mean they don't care. Librans love people. They love to cheer others up. They can seem annoying, but just don't let them know that you think that. They'll want to hide and cry. They have NOTORIOUS voices. You'll most probably remember a Libra by their voice. Libras make good actors and actresses, writers, columnists, journalists, lawyers, etc.
Librans are thinkers. And sometimes, they just... THINK TOO MUCH! Librans need to learn how to let loose. Libras need to learn how to smile (but not too much).
