I will be watching.
Wow, how many times has this show been resurrected, now?
This is actually a continuation of last year’s resurrection. But many, many times. (Also known as 3)
They’re doing their best.
This makes me happy.
I’m in!
Good news, everyone!
Wow, an uncredited guest appearance of the Finglonger in ep 01!
Wait, what? This was resurrected last year? Are these on FXX yet? I think I “watch”* more FXX than any other channel.
*I put “watch” in bunny ears as I’m mostly playing on my phone/tablet with the TV just providing background entertainment. But if there are new Futuramas I’ll DVR them and really watch.
IIRC they’re only available on Hulu, at least in the US.
The next 10 episodes are out. I"ve watched the first four of them. They’re perfectly adequate Futurama episodes but I can’t say that they are anything that particularly begged for a revival.
I didn’t even realize there were more eps coming until I saw an ad for them yesterday. I’m thinking the same thing after seeing the first couple. They’re funny enough but they’re also missing that something special that really set the show apart.
That sounds about right.
OK, I really liked the episode The Numberland Gap. It had a fun concept and some interesting math jokes and situations, even if much of it went over my head.
I think the biggest issue with the quality is that there are a limited number of episodes being produced per season, so it feels like the creators have a checklist that they have to run through for the whole season. I would argue that this isn’t a just a Futurama problem, that’s something these limited episode revival series shows are encountering.
