Tbh I think Futurama is perfect for streaming. It’s a fantastic show that I could easily binge but I’m just not feeling the waiting each week for an episode. Some shows I will wait for the episode and will plan for time to watch the premiere. But Futurama, I keep forgetting about. I’m enjoying the episodes and think it’s a great season, but I’m forgetting about it shortly after. I would gladly binge 10 episodes once or twice a year though and be happy with that.
Do you have any idea how easy it is to calculate the success of a reboot? They are not aiming for awesome with these. They just need it to meet the lower end of the estimate of people that say they would watch a reboot of a familiar popular show. These are zero risk endeavors.
Blame statistics and big data. Depressing but this isn't going to stop.
I didn't enjoy the latest season of futurama as much, but I did like all the previous reboots it had before the most recent. It was still good enough to watch though so can't complain.
Haven't been a fan of it until the last two episodes that have come out, those were pretty good. When they abandon "current" culture references as the core joke and just have a self contained Futurama esque story it still works
Ever watched tv in the 90s? Same. Love boat, Magnum p.i., general hospital, a-team, the list goes on. Hm, it seems the entertainment industry doesn't care about good products, just about money. Surprise. But maybe - just maybe - it'll suffer if people don't watch that crap anymore. But that won't happen. It's not the greedy necromancers, it's the consumer that's broken and enables the scheme.
Btw: that's the meme that completely incorporates anything in the modern capitalist world, including exploited humans.
I've only watched the first episode of the new season but it already feels like they have a better stride than in past reboots. Even the joke about getting cancelled still landed despite it being a pretty overused topic in comedy currently.
As much as I am not a huge fan of reboots in general for TV shows/movies/series/etcetera, I really want to see a reboot of Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron.
