The original seasons (4?) before it got cancelled were great. Clever writing, good jokes and everything you could want... but you could sense toward the end of that 4th season that they were starting to struggle in coming up with compelling concepts and jokes that worked in unison like the episodes before.
Then came the movies, and they were awful in my opinion. There would be no interest in them for me had it not come off the back of a good run of seasons. I chuckled here and there but, the ideas and conecepts were over elaborate and the jokes were less clever.
I caught the first episode of this new season, possibly the worst Futurama episode I have seen. Something about them kicking the bucket and being replaced by robots and... I dont know, I turned it off and went to bed.
I hope it gets better and doesnt go down the route of the Simpsons. Are the original writers still on-board?
I will try a few more episodes, but, it has to pick itself up or I wont be watching it anymore.
