    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?

        Your lyrics lack subtlety, you can’t just have characters announce how they feel! That make me angry!

      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’…

      I think there’s something especially offensive about it for Futurama.

      Part of the show’s legend is that it kept coming back. Every time it was cancelled it found a way to come back, tell more story, be clever, and then get cancel-blasted again.

      The Time-loop ending on the last cancellation felt like the show didn’t get cancelled. It completed it’s story. It was a goodbye and not an ‘until next time’. Bringing it back on Hulu feels like a slap to that legacy. It takes what was very real show history and makes it a cynical cash grab by Hulu corporate.

      as if they got to take the fact that the show fought it’s way back so many times and are now puppeting it’s corpse like Weekend at Bernie’s. “look guys it came back again isn’t that fun?”

      I’m not going to shit on anyone for wanting to keep watching. I just see it now and it makes me sad. So I don’t watch.

    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.

      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

        dropped it after the first return season

        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.

      right below this is a comment begging them to stop with over 100 upvotes. The time-loop ending was perfect. It was them getting to take a bow. Maybe I’ve changed. That’s fine. Other’s can keep watching but I finished with Futurama. They told their stories. Fry and Leela got together, Kiff and Amy have kids etc.

      Going back now is like trying to reconnect with the people you were friends with in college and finding that you don’t have anything in common with them anymore.

      They ended on such a perfect high note with that timeloop ep. A near perfect goodbye.

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

    C’mon Groening. Missed opportunity to say the show will defrost again.
