Just a stupid platform for jokes instead of a universe where unexpected things happen and stories are compelling. And they are bad jokes that sacrifice themselves to either be relevant to current meme ideas or to be like the original Futurama episodes.

May I ask, what Futurama episode do you feel is the best representation of what is a good, compelling story? Just trying to understand your personal expectations from past seasons. I personally enjoy the tie-ins to pop-culture, though I understand how many folks might disagree, but I feel every season seems to have their own connections to what events were relevant during their creation.

@Awa @SamboT

I love the high concept stuff.

Suicide booths

Robotic Santa judging everyone naughty

Trees down

The parabox

The thousand-year-old TV broadcast

We're fine on Coke syrup

The high points of the show for me are every time they whip something out that's simple and straightforward but you look at it and go I never in a million years would have thought of it; Yes that makes perfect sense and I would expect to see that.
