Watching the new season made me wonder if I Futurama was ever actually good. Are my fond memories of the old episodes just nostalgia?
No, I started rewatching the old seasons and in my opinion the general quality of the jokes and writing was much higher then. The over-reliance on current-day events just doesn’t work for Futurama, either. But there were some good episodes. For example, I really liked the season finale, the anthology episode.
I think they can make it good again, if they just stick with what made Futurama great in the first place, instead of trying to recreate is into something new.
