After trying to sit through an episode of American Dad one day, I made a vow to myself that despite my appreciation for Family Guy, I’m pretty much done with Seth MacFarlane side-projects and spin-offs. I’ve never watched The Cleveland Show. I kind of assumed it was just an outlet for all the cringe-worthy racial humor that was left on Family Guy‘s cutting-room floor, and that MacFarlane will eventually create The Joe Swanson Show, so that he can make more jokes about handicapped people. Maybe that’s an unfair bias. I wouldn’t know.
Anyway, here’s a clip of Quinton "Rampage" Jackson doing a guest turn on The Cleveland Show as an avenging super-slave named Kunta Kinte 9000 who shoots missiles out of his arms. Jackson thinks it’s hilarious. He also thinks this is funny, so take that with a grain of salt.

Just like I can have a lot of respect what the Gracie's did in their time, and understand how revolutionary that was at the time, even though I know that none of them could possibly compete with today's guys like GSP and Anderson Silva.
To follow that anology, I'd say Futurama would equate to someone like Marco Ruas or Maurice Smith. They helped the sport along in their own ways - not by major leaps and bounds - but certainly had their moments, they were mildly entertaining to watch, but ultimately forgettable.
You can figure out where Family Guy, South Park, American Dad, Cleveland, etc. would fit into this already tired analogy.
