Season 11 Review:
There isn’t a conspicuous dud episode in the bunch, and every episode made me smile and laugh. At the same time, in this batch of six episodes, there isn’t a single memorable new character, inspired episodic structure or mind-warping piece of futuristic whimsy. You could have told me these were episodes from either of the original runs of the series and I wouldn’t have been surprised. That’s both totally acceptable and a little disappointing.

Season 11 Review:
“Futurama” has always worked best when it has leaned into an almost Vaudevillian sense of humor. Most of that “Catskills Comedian” set-up/punchline material comes from DiMaggio’s Bender, still a consistently hysterical character. .... When the writers of “Futurama” try to get topical, they falter a bit.

Season 11 Review:
At this point in its unlikely lifespan, Futurama's blend of sci-fi parody, satirical digs at modern culture, and classic sitcom tropes is rarely hilarious but usually amusing. It's comfort food, as reliably satisfying as a bowl of Bachelor Chow washed down with a swig of Slurm.

Season 1 Review:
The comedy simply doesn't come as fast, as funny or as fresh. [28 Mar 1999]

Season 1 Review:
Amusing in spots. ... Future episodes will have to pick up speed if the series expects to really take off. [28 Mar 1999]

Season 1 Review:
Fans will enjoy picking out the many sight gags and puns in the dense, multilayered animation. But, on first viewing, and unlike "The Simpsons," the "Futurama" pilot isn't fall-off-the-couch funny. [25 Mar 1999]

Season 1 Review:
Falls short of The Simpsons in two respects: It isn't especially funny. And the characters aren't that appealing. [28 Mar 1999]

Season 1 Review:
While this sci-fi spoof saunters onto the Fox midseason sked feeling a tad uninspired at first blush, the promise is clearly there. [29 Mar 1999]

Season 11 Review:
If you haven’t watched the show before, you won’t know what you’re missing, but you probably will be aware that you’re missing something and that this is a problem. If you’re already a fan, you’ll be perfectly happy. If enough fans are drawn to subscribe to Hulu, then party on. A greater concern is that a little of the zip has gone out of the writing and the overall comic conceptualism.
