Futurama

What do you think of the last 2 seasons of Futurama?

For me there are basically only 1-3 episodes in each season that I could consider somewhat funny. The jokes aren't great anymore. Don't know if it's Disney ownership that made season 11,12 boring or the writers basically done all jokes already.

I think it was the wrong move to revive Futurama for these 2 last seasons. Last time it ended perfect with meanwhile. Or the ending in into the wild green yonder with the wormhole. Those two I consider great.

watching Wild Green Yonder with a friend, me watching the movie on my Plex, them watching the version broken into episodes on Hulu.

i pulled Hulu up to make sure i stayed synced, and the Hulu version quickly pulled ahead of mine. i didn't notice a missing scene but i wasn't paying close attention to the Hulu version.

when Hulu auto-cycled to the next episode, even with outro and intro credits, it brought it back to sync with my version. we're ⅓ through episode two, and Hulu is currently 14 seconds ahead, although we started this episode synced.

So Season 12 (or 9, the count is vague) has been a bit of a mixed bag for me, but i absolutely loved this episode. Granted, it isn't that the writing is that great, but overall and including the Themes and Throwbacks it's a solid 8/10 for me personally.

You see, "The Three Investigators" have a very special place here in Germany and they are very popular - i and many others grew up on them and i still love listening to the audio books. They don't take themselves overly serious and it's just innocent riddles. The homage Futurama paid them was just great!

Same goes for Tin Tin's Adventures, i've been glued to the comic books as a kid and they do a really good job there as well.

The last one fell a bit short, until Neil DeGrasse Tyson came up and had some really great one liners. And well, LeVar Burton is just LeVar Burton. Awesome Episode for me, but i may be very heavily biased on this one :D

Probably my favorite this season, so many childhood characters

Pretty good episode, I thought. Familiar adventure with the core group, nice pacing with good callbacks.

What are everyone's thoughts so far?

First episode: nft are old fade but their take was nice. I loved the "no concevable reason"

Party episode. I do love flash backs and really felt for fry. His mom just wanted to male him feel better and she ruimed his friendships. To bad fry never that his mom was cheating. Love the joke aboit "its a highly alkaline solution"

TemP worker. Best one so far and i love it came the day i got my new library card. Jeez show make me feel outdated.

So far not as good as last season.

So what did everyone think? Also why are there no new posts in this community when a new season just dropped?

Looking forward to it. Also was that Marianne?

If anyone can link the original source/creator that'd be rad, can't remember where I saved it from

Do they still have many highly intelligent and over qualified people working on it to make wacky science plots,theories, joke ? How good is the show nowadys anyway ? Does it still hold that standard ? Been a hot minute since i last watched also i am talking about hulu reboot to avoid future confusion as one person asked me in the comments .

He set up shop right here.

I’ve seen this show thousands of times. I have most of it memorized to the point where I can recite it from memory, but I still catch new things all the time. That’s one of my favorite things about this show.

What’s something you realized after rewatching the show several times?

Found this interesting. I never saw the updated version, but I am guessing I probably wouldn't have noticed the change. Just a random article I came across thinking you might enjoy. Or not. If I die, tell my wife hello.
