Future Continuous: You want to describe an action that will be in progress in the future For example: Don't call tomorrow at 10, I will be watching the show. The continuous tenses express events or actions that are in progress, or incomplete. You can see in my example that in the future, the action "watch" will be in progress, we can guess from the meaning that the show started before ten, and ends later than ten, and so incomplete. I will be watching the show.
Future Perfect: The perfect tenses make a link between the past and the present. For example "I have lost my keys", at the present perfect, suggest that the keys were lost in the past, and in the present have not been found yet. If you use the future perfect, you are projecting yourself into the future and making the link between an event that will be considered in the past at that moment, but has probably not occurred yet, and will have a link to the moment in the future you are referring to.
For example: You can call me tomorrow at 11 o'clock, I will have watched the show. This sentence suggests that I have not watched the show yet, but at 11 o'clock tomorrow it will be considered a past event. The link with the future moment (or "present") suggests that I will have knowledge of that show, I'll be able to tell you the outcome or something.
