Futurama

Obviously I'm a big fan. Anybody keeping up with the new episodes?

Been a fan of the series since it first aired.
Missed this week's episode, but hope to catch it later.

Yeah I have. I've been having to tape them this season because I've been forgetting to watch them. Still haven't watched the one from this Wednesday.

I have been a fan since the beginning, but I don't have cable anymore, so I only get to watch it when it comes on CW on Saturdays

I've been a fan since the beginning too! Before the first episode aired I remember Futurama was on an issue of TV Guide and I thought Bender was Homer as a robot and he left Marge to go be with a one-eyed alien. LOL.

Have you tried looking for them on YouTube or Hulu? They could be on there.

The schedule's a little weird now since they moved it to Wednesday nights instead of Thursdays. However, they rerun both old and new episodes pretty frequently so you should have a good chance of catching them at some point.

...I guess we could talk about the episodes this season.

I really liked the one where Bender tried to take a photo of that celebrity that wears a bag on his head.

I really enjoyed that one. So far I think this has been the strongest season since they came back on the air. Each year they get better and better and this one has been stellar. The election one was also quite enjoyable. I had my doubts about the premise but was pleasantly surprised.

It's not must see viewing for me anymore, but that's because Comedy Central is nice enough to reair episodes quite frequently.

I'm so glad they rebooted the show.

Yes!

You know when TV shows are getting real bad is when they start bringing back cancelled shows.

Futurama was a show that never should have been cancelled in the first place. It's still full of great writing and interesting characters, unlike The Simpsons and Family Guy, which should have bowed our gracefully years ago. Fox never gave the show a real chance to shine and it would have fared far better if they'd given it a decent time slot and promoted it, something that both Cartoon Network and Comedy Central did in abundance.

FOX never gives the good ones a chance.

I remember when Futurama would come on real late (and other shows) because football ran too long. I always thought it got cancelled because of football running into Futurama's time slot.
