    I’ve seen a ton of people saying the new season is bad and I just want to put out there that I think it’s pretty good.

    I don’t think bender is hitting the mark like he did in the first couple seasons, but the other characters are doing great. And let’s be honest, bender has been overused for a long time. I think people have built up Futurama to some god-like show that never had a dud joke, but half of them have always missed the mark and the other half have always been amazing. I don’t think this season or this episode are any different.

    The first episode made fun of their new network which I saw a lot of complaining over, but it’s what they’ve done for the first episode of every reboot.

    The second episode was pretty good (though I think the weakest of the three).

    This episode was filled with clevar jokes. The premise alone was great, their excuse for why this was happening was hysterical, and the interactions felt right - like it hadn’t been 10 years since they were together.

    Honestly, I haven’t been too happy with any of the new episodes. The jokes are rarely funny, and the writing has been pretty lazy so far. This episode was no different.

      Couldn’t agree more. I was so disappointed to hear they were bringing it back. The series finale really wrapped it up nicely.

      It reminds me of the Animaniacs reboot. Technically well made, and all the ingredients are there, but the spark is not quite there.

      Maybe that was true in the previous reboot as well, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it.

    I’m calling it now: Fry and Leela will become parents this season.
