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.
Futurama hasn’t declined anywhere near as badly.
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.
No but its travelling the same road, I’d prefer it ends on a high note.
The time loop finale should have been the real end of the show. It was the perfect sendoff.
In my head cannon it is.
In my experience it is. I haven’t watched anything newer. I’m not sure if I ever will.
Simpsons hasn’t been canceled nearly the same number of times. Futurama is the zombie that won’t stay down.
The irony is that The Simpsons is the one that should be canceled.
simpsons, they are milking a dead horse to the point its just ahusk. thats what became of SUpernatural too, shouldve ended in season 5, they just milked it with gay fanfiction for another 10 seasons.
I just finished the first episode of Supernatural last night. At least now I know to stop after season 5
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
Don’t do that to yourself. Season 5 is the original show runner’s intended ending. It goes for 15 seasons and a lot of it’s flawed charm comes later. Like Futurama, everyone has their decided ending for supernatural. Mine is after season 11.
It’s a personal take, but I think that when it stops taking itself as seriously it becomes more fun to watch.
The first 2 episodes were pretty mid. I assume it greatly improves?
It improves. I’m not the best salesman for it. Most honest fans will tell you the show is flawed. It’s monster of the week for most of season 1. The creature stories get better in season 2 and the overall plot starts getting more interesting around season 3.
Season 4-5 are considered the best. Season 7 it starts dunking on itself and it’s premise, and becomes more cheesy but with a lot of found-family/parental trauma motifs (everyone in supernatural has beef with their family.)
6 tries to resemble 5 alittle, and 8 are quite decent, and only 11. almost every other one is wierd and awkward.
Simpsons the show i imagine basically only exists in the modern era to sell merch because its early exposure made it such a strong international brand
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
I say just do some occasional specials and/or movies.
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?

“How else will I get my daily quota of blood boiling? This suggestion makes me angry!”
Your lyrics lack subtlety, you can’t just have characters announce how they feel! That make me angry!
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.
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.
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 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.
Then you’re missing out on some great episodes
I’ve peaked in from time to time to confirm I wasn’t missing out.
What does that mean? You literally skimmed an episode?
Why does it matter how I decide what shows I like? If you enjoy it, good for you. I don’t understand why some people get offended if others dislike something they enjoy. It’s not like I’m telling you to stop enjoying it.
It’s not like I’m telling you what shows you should like. All I said is:
Then you’re missing out on some great episodes
All I wanted to understand is what you meant by:
I’ve peaked in from time to time to confirm I wasn’t missing out.
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.
They opened the new series with covid and bitcoin jokes like 4 years after those were relevant…
Those episodes weren’t great lol.
They weren’t bad though
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?
What eps
White Hole and Murderoni were great, but I think the jokes are reliably good throughout most episodes of the last two seasons.
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.
Maybe, o thought they were shit and stopped watching, which is fine imo.
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.
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.
Holy shit, take your negativity and fuck off.
You didnt even watch the seasons I’m talking about
It literally cannot be the same show, no idea how it can top earlier seasons when it’s just not the same show anymore
Please stop playing, Fry. I don’t wanna hear how it ends.
This has to be the most “revived” show ever right?
I love the show, but I think it’s time to be done.
Zombierama!
Hot take it was time to be done after the first 4 seasons. That run was great. It should not have gotten revived.
Did you watch the last season?
Great news! Always love new Futurama.
Me too! I’m always gutted when they cancel it
Fucks sake… the original ending was perfect
The “The Devil’s Hands Are Idle Playthings” was a good episode but I think both “Otherwise” and “Meanwhile” were much better “final” episodes.
Maybe next time it comes back we can get some new Nixon jokes. Those are fresh.
Let it die man. Every new season just taints it. They don’t know what made it good.
Zombie
SimpsonsFuturama
Let it die
The next run won’t be drenched in allegory.
C’mon Groening. Missed opportunity to say the show will defrost again.
