Some were apprehensive of the reboot before it even aired.


Have you liked the new episodes or do you not find them entertaining?

Overall: 5/10. They've been steadily improving (ignoring episode 2 which was rubbish).

I gotta admit, I couldn't stop laughing at the Da Vinci episode when bender got that mace thrown at his arm, it stuck and he smacked that guy in the face with it. That ****ing ruled.

They're OK, but they've obviously changed the style of the show. Much like The Simpsons, it has become much less story driven and replaces it with various pop culture references and random humor commonly found in Family Guy. And that's a bit of a shame. I also don't like how Fry has become incessantly stupid. He obviously wasn't the smartest person, but he was a reflection of an average person and had an intellect to match that. Now he's so stupid, you can't connect to him at all.

4/10 They just aren't the same. The older ones had a certain charm about them that just can't be matched.

If I add up all the episodes together it would average to about 6/10.

The new season hasn't even finished yet so I'd say they're about 6.5/10

1st episode - 7/10, good but a bit scrambled 2nd - 5/10, eh pretty bad 3rd - 5/10, Susan Boyle references and mocking the iPhone, it was like a year old episode of South Park. 4th - 8/10, finally starting to get better, the first episode that felt like proper old school Futurama. 5th - 8/10, same as above only change first to second.

I liked all the episodes except the Da Vinci one. Thought that was the worse episode of Futurama I have ever seen, not 1 laugh.

Pretty much the same way I'd rate them.

Not really. As someone already said they've lost their wily charm with a lot of jokes about science, computers, and random nerd humour chalked in there for good measure. Now it's just the same as the Simpsons, random jokes and pop culture references trying to compete with Family Guy...and even Family Guy is losing its touch if you ask me.

....No. Not at all. They're equal to vomit and garbage. If you like vomit and garbage then you'd like the new stuff.

So far the only episode that I completely disliked was the DaVinci episode. The whole plot kept jumping from one thing to another and would only spend maybe a minute on a particular scene or point before abruptly switching to a new one. It was like watching Family Guy except without flashbacks. Also, I wasn't a fan of the iphone episode. It was bad enough that they forced modern day pop culture references into the show (save that **** for The Simpsons) but then they went and used one year old references. Nobody cares about Susan Boyle anymore and hasn't for months and the iphone hasn't been a big deal for years unless you want to count all the fiascos with the iphone 4G (but the show obviously wasn't satirizing that but rather just the phone in general).

I think they are good, but not as good as the old ones. I would say 6, maybe 6.5 out of 10.

eh its alright, I can understand why people don't like these new episodes, the old ones were very different and unique. These new ones are pretty bland. 7/10 as of now.

Downright annoying.

I hate hot the Professor's voice is noticeably different. This isn't a small issue, since that's one of the biggest appeals of the character.

I knew it was going to be bad. But why are people stating that they hated the second episode? I think Zap Brannigan in ANY episode makes it great!

You guys should realize that Futurama was canceled for a long time. Not many people remember it, and those who do are few in number.

They are trying to target a new audience and bring them into a series. Personally I think that the episodes are very good so far.

Bad enough to make it so I no longer consider myself a fan of the show. It's basically sci-fi themed Family Guy.

It was in fact the fan outcry that brought the Futurama movies and series back. They are making this for the fans and to also acquire new fans as well. First and foremost though it is being made for the fans that bought all the dvd's and supported the show even after it was initially cancelled.

I haven't seen the new episodes, but wasn't the old Futurama like that?

Hell, they had an entire freaking episodes that were completely based around celebrity appearances. Lucy Liu? Beck?
