Just… please…no more single joke episodes.
Ok, so it’s an AI episode, but like instead of an actual AI it’s a prosthetic eye that tries to steal your job and makes pictures of people with weird hands. It’s an “a-eye”, get it?
I liked the eyephone episode so I’d be willing to try this.
I’m surprised they’re doing another. Season 11 is so weirdly parallel to the Simpsons season 11. They’ve left their golden age behind and are just milking it… for what? This once revered show is being revived so it can go down in a blaze of mediocrity.
I feel like Futurama ended for me after Season 5.
While season 5 was definitely the end of peak Futurana, the last series finale was a fantastic send-off and it really should have been the true end of the show.
It absolutely did.
Hot take: Futurama doesn’t need to be in its golden age to still exist and a lot of younger people like myself are getting to see the show in a way that appeals to modern pop culture references for the first time.
Despite how many people feel about this previous season, it had its moments and it still exists in a niche that I’d argue is almost entirely untouched by most animated tv nowadays. I will absolutely take Futuramas half-hearted attempts at clever writing over the now modern “it’s so gross/crass it’s funny” style of things.
Can I rewatch older seasons? Sure. But again, a lot of season 1-5 are before my time. The characters are still great, voices are great, it’s just the through line plot that’s suffered in the new season. Specifically that gets highlighted in the Dung episode where the quips are funny, the situation is funny, but the overall plot is kind of uninteresting to me and it’s lost that cleverness. Fix a few things about an episode like that and it’d be right at home in the first series.
Yeah, the main question shouldn’t be “is this new season as good as peak Futurama?” but “is it just good?” There’s so little good TV these days that I wouldn’t say no to anything that’s just plain good, we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
“Maybe if we go down in flames bad enough, they’ll stop reviving this show! We’ve had HOW MANY SERIES FINALES now!?”
It’s still technically production season 10. Networks and Streamers love to order a bunch of episodes then split them in half and call it two seasons as a way to spend less money.
Production season 11 has been ordered and should air in 2025 and 2026.
“Knowing the executives’ preset season limit, I sent season after season of my own shows at them.”
Just let it die already, Groening.
You don’t like it? Just don’t watch it. Let the people who enjoy it enjoy.
Don’t like my complaints? Don’t read them. Let people voice their disenchantment.
No no disenchantment is the other show by him
Yeah but it is still new and they (hopefully) haven’t run out of ideas yet.
It already ended, lol
Relevant prozd. No one’s attacking you, bud.
Does the show still have the original writing staff? The last season wasn’t awful but it was kinda just “eh.”
I liked 11 well enough. I’m glad it’s close.
I’ve rewatched a few times now and it’s better on future watches. Going back I also remember the previous reboots taking moment to find their stride again. In short I’m looking forward to this season.
There were a few episodes I didn’t like (first one, explovid19, space king), but that’s the case with any season
Explovid19 gave us the line, “Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from science” and for that I will always cherish it.
Sounds like fun on a bun
I thought a lot of the last season felt really dated already strangely enough. But I’m still willing to give it another chance, I just probably won’t be rushing to watch the new episodes like I was with season 11.
Wasn’t a fan of 11 for the most part but looking forward to another season.
