so far...


I've watched 3 episodes, its not that great. The pilot was deece i guess. Are there any good episodes in season 6?...
I did watch one recently that i think is from season 6 that i hadn't seen before... where fry, prof. and bender go into the future and watch the universe end/restart and what not, that was good.

Anyways, yeah. I find so far its all too topical and not that great. Homosexuality/apple products etc. etc. Futurama was great in the episodes that weren't really trying to make overt social commentary. Its not south park. Best episodes were when fry became his own grandfather, that one where bender becomes god, the one with fry's dog, the one with fry's brother, the one where leela goes crazy because of bees, and yeah... whatever this post sucks.

I dunno I think the 6th season of futurama was pretty good. I want the 7th season to start soon. Its almost like every show though if you watch too much of it it all begins to become the same jokes. Family guy started to kinda change the playing feild by when they kill a character their actually dead. The simpsons has progressed quite a bit from their first episodes. Futurama is one of those shows where they are kind of always trying to sneak the fact that they are living in the future in by adding our recent discoveries or stuff we are studying. watch the other episodes in season 6 before you decide that the whole season sucks. Might help if you smoke weed before watching every episode too.

Yeah. I don't think the whole season sucks, i'm just wondering if there any real standout episodes? Futurama seems to have a knack for making some really awesome episodes with pretty cool storylines/ideas. The ending of the one where Bender becomes god is pretty damn awesome.

These newer ones, after the movies and that whole discontinued thing, have been pretty good. I still think the older ones are better but these have been enjoyable. Definitely quite a few good lines and jokes and such.

Yeah, season 6.

I just watched the davinci one... was pretty dildos. I think i just expect some more majestic crazy cool inspiring episodes all the time, but i suppose there weren't that many... I guess one or 2 per season is all i can ask for.

Yeah, it isn't that great. The jokes are lame, but I do have to have to say the story lines are pretty cool, but it's still not enough to save it. Bring the old Futurama back.

i agree. iv always thought futurama was more funny when it poked fun about things relating to science rather than south park style social commentary.

i found it took them a few episodes to get back into their stride,
the prisoner of benda and the late philip j fry are some of the best episodes in the series
