I like Fry, and I like the subject matter of the show, but for some reason Fry comes across as just slightly condescending, and it irritates the crap out of me. It would be better if he was just plain abusive, so at least viewers would recognise it as being a comedy.
I have no idea where you get that opinion, as everyone I know who watches it loves the fact that Fry, despite his high intelligence, is always so happy to learn new things, and if anyone tells him something new, he looks like he has just been given the keys to the kingdom.
The guy is just so nice that hardly anyone dislikes him. And when he does insult someone, its so well put that its funny as fuck and there is no comeback from it, which is surprising as none of his insults have any malice to them.
