Seasons 1-5 (the ones in 4:3) have to be the most comfy TV ever made
How did they do it and why can't they recreate the magic despite 800 revivals?
>>
reply to my post or i will kill you with my bussy
>>
>>220509445
What you call the magic, is the simply fact that it was all new, after 20 seasons of the simpsons new characters new voice actors new setup was all magical to you, once the show had to build on continuity they lost you
>>
The short answer is women writers.
>>
>>220509781
why is it always women writers, man...
>>
>>220509821
ai. they take every entertainment from us so that we accept the big die off and even embrace it
>>
>>220509445
Few shows will survive pass this limit. Take Simpsons for example, they did 10 good seasons. South Park did like 10 good seasons and 12 good seasons. But they are exceptions. The real reason for the downfall of futurama was FOX. FOX are idiots, and they cancelled a series with a good fan base and with the most educated and good writers since like forever. The revivals are just cash grabs. As an hard core fan I am happy they make the season 6 and 7, but that was the last straw.

>>220509445
It wasn’t just a surface level scifi tv show parody. Felt like it was written by genuine fans of the genre(who were also good) that could write episodes with interesting scifi concepts that was also funny. I never really bothered with anything after those movies they made like 20 years ago

>>220510760
Back where?
>>
>>220510747
That is because the writers where all college educated nerds. The most overqualified writers ever in TV history.
>>
>>220510760
>>220510817
This is always the reaction when low IQ people watch futurama. They just dont get it. They get angry and start hating. Many such cases
>>
>>220510957
This. You dont have to be a gay Redditor to enjoy Futurama, but it certainly helps.
>>
Revival seasons are just way too self aware
>Wannabe tearjerker episode like Jurassic Bark Late Phillip J Fry every season
>Scruffy is now part of the main cast
>No episodes about delivering shit anymore
>>
>>220510998
No, it does not help. If you are a gay redditor you are triggered or dont understand it. The show, season 1-5 was written by actual seriously educated people who where also nerds. This why redditors and low IQ 4chan posters gets triggered. Because they hate everything they cant understand and makes them feel insecure. Which is in contrast to their world view of being smarter than everyone else.

>You have to have an extremely high IQ to "get" Futurama
Lmao.
>>
>>220511916
Nta but you just need to not be stupid
>>
>>220511916
No. You just dont have to be an insecure retard gay redditor. It helps if you like sci fi. Normies are enjoying futurama, atleast season 1-5, just because they are not insecure faggots who thinks they are smarter than everyone else.
>>
it got boring once they forgot it was set in the future.
>>
Back in the day it was easy to handwave away all the writers obvious libtard leanings
>>
>>220511946
Libtard was not a term 1999-2004.... how old are you?
>>
>>220511916
The other guy can form sentences and make arguments and you hide behind buzzwords and shitty memes like a pussy
>>
>>220511941
Didn't it become the present once fry went to the future?
>>
>>220511959
Your brain is malfunctioning over its retroactive application
>>
>>220510747
This is the correct answer, the show achieved kino by being a rich web of parody and satire
And only the first four seasons, I have no idea what OP is talking about with the fifth season
They made four kino seasons, ending with the episode where Fry made a deal with the devil.
The feature-length episodes were shit and everything after them was also shit.
There is now more shit Futurama than good Futurama, especially if you include Disenchantment, which was shit from the same ass.
Sad, many such cases, etc
>>
Genuinely great https://youtu.be/1YOl7-3CuiE
>>
>>220511968
Please elaborate and explain this to me.
>>
>>220512001
Futurama was sucking off Al Gore and the Democratic Party during its heyday
>>
>>220511979
I understand your confusion. For some there is 4 seasons, but for some 5 seasons. I guess it some syndication bullshit. I pirated it and I am not amerifag. For me there is 5 seasons, ending with deal with the devil, then a few movies, which is okay, and then for many years there was no new seasons, then season 6-7 come, and again long time until the "new seaons" came.

I would say, season 1-5(for you 1-4) is kino, the movies... mostly are good but it was going to shit twoards the newest ones, benders big score is good, but benders game is not so good in my opinion. But still better than most of season 6-7. There are some gems there. The rest I dont even consider futurama.
>>
>>220511965
yeah but that just means Fry's past present is our present past.

wasted opportunity.. they could have had jokes like
>hey guys, why don't we go visit the World Trade Center?
>>
>>220512012
I am sorry my brother. I am not from the US. I dont understand what this means.
>>
what happened with the wiki for this show?

did the admin died?

Some of the jokes are fine but I've never enjoyed Futurama because I find every single character to be completely insufferable.
>>
>>220510760
you post wojaks
>>
>>220512109
they gave every character ADD.
>>
>>220512139
And you watch gay shit like Futurama, Star Trek, and Dr Who.
>>
>>220512012
I remember futurama making fun of al gore
>>
>>220512172
>no u
>>
>>220512172
Old futurama and old star trek(up until enterprise) is fucking good shows. NTA but i never watched Dr Who because I am not brit or amerifag
>>
>>220512208
You remember wrong
>>
>>220512172
All acclaimed shows enjoyed by normal non-freak people.
>>
you could've cut out the asian girl entirely and improved the show tremendously
>>
>>220512306
Not sure if you misremember, are fucking with me, or did not understand the jokes
>>
>>220512348
later on the writers remembered that she was a postgraduate on placement (internship? i'm not American btw). for some reason they really course-corrected away from her being ditzy (just rich).

can't have a female character be stupid, i guess.

>I love Futurama because the jokes respect your intelligence
>>
>>220511979
I think the movies are mostly dogshit but if you compare them to the seasons afterwards, they actually aren't that bad. I wouldn't blame someone for liking them given what came next.
>>
>>220512348
Amy is great. Fuck you.
>>
they got too far up their own asses after the first couple seasons
