    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.

    “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.

    There's still plenty of great stuff happening in season 11 of "Futurama" that keeps the ship aloft, but if we get a season 12 I hope there's more science fiction silliness and less contemporary satire.

    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.

    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.

    Great to see the show back, thank you - the cast for getting together.
    I've been fan since the beginning of the show in 2000s and    Great to see the show back, thank you - the cast for getting together.
    I've been fan since the beginning of the show in 2000s and unfortunately, this first episode reminds me of the Bender's Big Score. Nothing memorable with spilled out old gags repackaged for the new generation. Maybe I'm too old or had much higher expectations but I feel like this episode is forced by the new network on the creative team and has to check a lot of check boxes. I'd expect much more after 10year hiatus. I only hope this is what was forced by contract and we will see the wit and smirky gags we loved so much in the future(ama). I keep my fingers crossed and hope the season will roll the 'big guns' very soon.    … Full Review »

    Still one of the greatest animated shows in the history of television. Only "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad" still stands on top.
