Well, I won't try to guess why people upvoted it, I can only tell of why I submitted it: the article (which I haven't written, only come across) is not just moaning about a cancelled series. It discusses the science that permeates it, and its geek appeal. Which I thought fitting for hacker news.

Indeed: I've only watched a couple of episodes, and never got into it. But I was fascinated to read about the "Futurama theorem".
Thankfully it's possible to downvote comments, though.
