Futurama

Nah, I expect it to be as good as their 3 other reboots, which have all been solid

Me too. Futurama is my favorite show. However, I really disliked the movies and the comedy central episodes.

Trying to make the episodes "relevant" and hitting on whatever was trendy that moment really ruined it for me. That said, some of the Comedy Central episodes had good plots (The Late Phillip J Fry, Meanwhile, Lethal Inspection, Clockwork Origin).

However, there is something off about these episodes. It is hard to describe. I'd say, it has something to do with the pacing of the show. It feels like every character is too excited, always shouting, throwing out too many jokes, and trying to be too funny. The voice acting was also generally bad, especially Fry constantly whining.

The great thing about the original series was a single plot (not an A, B and C), good timing, subtle jokes, excellent, but not in your face references, and so many amazing easter eggs, that after watching every episode literally hundreds of times, it is still funny and there are new things to find!

The original 4 seaons stay on my Jellyfin server in daily rotation. I sleep to futurama audio most nights. Every time I try one of the new episodes, I am immediately annoyed.

I am happy Futurama is coming back. It will introduce another generation to the greatest 4 seasons of tv that ever existed. But I am not getting my hopes up that I'll like the new episodes.
