Futurama Returned!

[Lint]

Tonight marks the return on Futurama to Comedy Central. 2 part episode, part one is on now..thoughts?

and I know there is a futurama topic..but it seems like search still isn't working

I downloaded it the other night... Eh. I was kind of disappointed, but they were okay episodes. Hopefully they'll get back into the swing of things soon and the episodes will be better.

First episode was stupid and chock full of Whiny Bitch Fry. This one's better.

[Invader Z]

Adult Swim is also picking it back up (or so i think), but i liked both episodes! but, they were't great. I hope they'll get as good as they used to be

[mystikz]

I thought they were both good, first one could of started off better. the 2nd one had plenty of Zap Brannigan which is always great.

The second episode had me at "I wax my rocket everyday!"

[thatblindgeye]

I thoroughly enjoyed both episodes. Maybe it was due to me not going in with expectations due to Family Guy, but I'm just glad the show is back.

[Hellfire]

Whiny Fry is always a bad thing, but I guess they had to do it. The second episode was much better and I'm sure next weeks episode will be even better than that. I'm just glad to see it back really.

[LUKIE]

I enjoyed both episodes greatly.

The second one was better then all three of the previous movies. Zapp Brannigan is just epic.

Computer.... CAPTAIN'S MUSK!

[LUKIE]

I forgot to make mention of how well the animation looked, and how much it has improved from the previous series (even the movies).

You can tell it's done frame by frame nearly complete, instead of "Flash" cheating like Family Guy do all the time.

Glad to hear positive feedback.

One of those movies was godawful and I feared for the future of this great show.

[slain]

The Rebirth episode was god awful in my opinion. I felt as if they were trying a little bit TOO hard. Has Bender always been this unfunny? Thankfully, the second episode redeemed the new Futurama for me. I'll definitely be watching the next episode.

[GoGo Yubari]

Bender was about that unfunny in Into the Wild Green Yonder too. He had a couple of funny moments in Rebirth but he still felt pretty Flanderized, which is impressive considering it's Bender.

[TKz]

I think they were trying too hard to incorporate everyone into the story. Once they return to each episode being more specific to one or two characters with a host of background characters, hopefully the quality will pick back up.

[DJ Ice]

Will they be on Sky 1???

Maybe it was the presence of Mom (which to me also elevated Bender's Game from kinda okay to damn good times), but I really liked today's episode.

[GoGo Yubari]

I liked most of the episode, though the Susan Boyle stuff was forced and really not topical anymore. Still, the dialogue was a lot more up to what I expect from Futurama, so even when I felt like it was getting a little too obvious I still found myself laughing on a fairly regular basis (for example, I kind of grimaced at "like Jared, from Subway" but then cracked up at "Like the giant caterpillar that ate Jared, from Subway!").

I especially loved the jab at Apple's habit of using trendy hipster music for their commercials and "The important thing is that we're a family!" for how it failed to have anything to do with anything.
