Futurama refuses to die (Hulu revival)

[Dr Dave]

Yeah the episode was very meh.

 

[Dr Dave]

This past weeks episode was not very good either.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I thought some of the Dune references were good and there were some funny parts, but it felt like it went on too long and ran out of steam by the end. Are the episodes longer now?

"My manwich!" always makes me laugh no matter how many times they repeat it.

 

[Dr Dave]

Yeah I guess if you were into Dune or whatever it might have made it better.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Episode 5 - It's about time SOMEBODY took some easy, predictable shots at Amazon!

 

[Dr Dave]

Another "meh" episode.

 

[CaptainWacky]

"In memory of Coolio" is the only emotional ending that's going to make me feel anything.

 

[whisky]

I watched the children episode, meh.

 

[whisky]

If twenty years has passed and kifs kids grew up why is Hermes kid still 9?

 

[Lanzman]

It's a cartoon. Don't ask too many questions. Or to quote the immortal MST3K: "Repeat to yourself it's just a show, and I should really just relax."

 

[CaptainWacky]

Time dilation.

 

[CaptainWacky]

A fucking covid episode 3 years too late.

Can't wait for "The Professor buys Twitter!" in 2025.

 

[Dr Dave]

They don't deserve more seasons at this point.

 

[CaptainWacky]

There's profit to be had!

 

[whisky]

Is there though?

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Frankly there were done after the movies. Very little of the eps since S6's Rebirth are up to par with the first 5 seasons.

There's something basic that they started missing about the premise of the show a long time ago.

It's why I'm in no hurry to watch any of these new ones... I'll just be disappointed.

 

[whisky]

Done after the first of those films.

 

[Lanzman]

Meh. It ain't as good as it was, but Bender is still funny as shit and anyway, Why Not Zoidberg?

[CaptainWacky]

Billy West can't really do Zapp's voice anymore.
