This is my biggest complaint about the new Futuramas, anyone agree?

I always thought one of the best things about the old Futurama episodes was that it took place in a science fiction universe that was actually fleshed out and was mostly grounded by real world science. The world they created is actually a really cool one. The plots were the best part of this, considering that so many sci-fi plots are crazy and don't make sense. While Futurama certainly did things that aren't actually possible, or things that are ridiculous, they at least poked fun of themselves for doing so, and they even usually had some sort of scientifically based rational to explain it. In the new ones, however, it seems like they don't care about this at all anymore. A lot of the new plots and plot points seem pretty stupid, and unlike before they don't seem to ever point out the stupidity or unlikeliness of a situation. They just sort of go with it. Futurama has always been really good about scientific accuracy (for a cartoon, at least) and yet it seems like they might be trying to appeal to a larger audience this time around (which makes sense, but I still don't like it). Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just imagining things?

totally, I never watched Futurama for laughs and thus now it sucks. Just like Family Guy.

there will always be some differences between old and new episodes of ANY show. people may not like it, but most do. so in the end, it is what it is

This. Shows aren't always going to be the same forever.

I like new Futurama episodes, though, so I don't really care for the little differences.

All I know is I thought that the episode with Lee Laa getting a kids show was hilarious. I have been watching the show since the beginning btw.

lol That was a funny one since they were making fun of an actual pre-school show on Nick Jr.
