    Half the people in this thread don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.

    The last two seasons had some of the best episodes of the entire show.

    Take your nostalgia goggles off and just enjoy things, twats.

    Edit: the fact that this got 20 upvotes should maybe clue you into the fact that the new content is worth your time.

      They opened the new series with covid and bitcoin jokes like 4 years after those were relevant…

            Yeah, people here are making it sound like its unwatchable.

            Every season has dud episodes, the old ones and the new ones.

            Maybe people just like the old seasons because they were from a time in their life when they were happier?

      Are you fucking kidding? It was absolute regurgitated pap, there was nothing like the earlier seasons. I couldn’t stomach it and dropped it after the first return season. Not worth the time to watch.

        It literally cannot be the same show, no idea how it can top earlier seasons when it’s just not the same show anymore

        Notice how I said the last two seasons?

        You are talking about season 9.

          You’re on glue. It’s like they gave the first 8 seasons to an AI and had it generate new episodes, but make them unfunny.

          Garbage. Nothing like the original.

        White Hole and Murderoni were great, but I think the jokes are reliably good throughout most episodes of the last two seasons.

    Please don’t, just let it be dead. The last revival sucked the next one probably will too. Just let people keep their good memories instead of turning it into another simpsons.

      The good news with all of the series finales for Futurama is eventually you can hit your personal finale

      For me it’s the fractal of them zooming in and out of the simulations, and slowing down a simulation so far that it feels like to the people observing the simulation that the simulation has stopped, however for the people in the simulation it feels as if their timeline is running exactly the same as always. Everyone’s sad to see it end, but Fry and Leela recognize instantly that for the people within the simulation that the stories never end.

      IMO it was the perfect ending and I refuse on rewatch to watch past that

        All i can remember about the last season is Kif and Amy have the kids now, there was an NFT episode, and there was an episode that looks like Tintin. I usually can remember the plot and character growth.

          They tried so much to do “current thing” but with things from a few years ago that it felt completely irrelevant, it wasn’t just NFTs.

            If they want to do “current thing”, they have to move like South Park and throw half the episode together a week before it airs.

      Simpsons hasn’t been canceled nearly the same number of times. Futurama is the zombie that won’t stay down.

              Watch it until you stop enjoying it. That line is different for everyone, but I promise you that once you feel like it’s really gone down hill, it won’t get better

    People who like Futurama and want more: “yay!”

    I’m happy that other people are happy.

    People who like Futurama and don’t want more: “boo!”

    Y’all realize you can just not watch the new stuff?

      I dunno it’s just weird to see the corpse of something I loved paraded around.

      I’m not gonna go crazy over it but leaving a quick “this kinda sucks” on a message board is low effort.

      I stopped watching after a few episodes of season 8. It felt like it lost its way. So I’m fine just rewatching season 1-7 and the movies.

      This has what bugs me. People don’t watch the new stuff AND complain about the new stuff.

      I watch the new stuff, it’s got good episodes, it’s got bad episodes, and it’s got just fine episodes. We’ve got three Futurama specials to look forward to. Maybe they’ll be good, maybe bad, maybe just fine. I’m looking forward to finding out.

      Right?! More is ALWAYS better when it comes to things you love. No exceptions. If you stop enjoying it, stop watching it, but don’t yuck everyone else’s yum because it’s not for you. Some (most) people are so conceited and like to moan when their quality levels aren’t met.

      Counting down until Futurama is labeled ‘slop’…

      The “The Devil’s Hands Are Idle Playthings” was a good episode but I think both “Otherwise” and “Meanwhile” were much better “final” episodes.

      Groening has been pretty clear that he’s all about the money. I went to a Simpsons live show like 20+ years ago, and he specifically said that money was the only motivation for continuing the show.
