or is Futurama really slacking off lately??

I mean, seriously, wtf? Even our board here is slow, even if it's only 3 or 4 of us. It's like we're all ashamed of what has happened in the last 3 weeks.

The last 3 episodes in a row seem like they were written by some ass hat at Adult Swim. Not that there is anything wrong with AS, but their shows just really don't have any substance, but I know Futurama is better than that.

Come on Futurama, give us the good stuff, time travel, paradoxes, shit that's intertwined with the first seasons, make us think, use our brains. Where's the clever jokes? And where the fuck is Zap Brannigan??

The last episode was OK. But keep in mind the run time is shorter. Still they could do better.

let's list the changes we've noticed:
-more weed references
-way less jokes per episode. they used to be packed in back to back so hard that they would fly over your head if you weren't paying attention
-more 'as its happening' pop culture references (the iphone jokes, etc)

anybody notice more/think these are inaccurate?

Those are pretty accurate. Hermes was always a point of bringing up pot, but they have been kinda forcing it lately. Pop culture is ok, but only if it is something that could be relevant in a 1000 years, lady gaga will not. Another beef I have is the ignoring of the Fry/Leela relationship. They cannot undo what has aired, so they should either develope it or keep it in the background. Not bring it up just when it is convenient. I feel as if they are dumbing down the show (pop culture) to widen the audience. Mistake. Futurama fans are very demanding and do not like things being spoon fed. For fucks sake, we broke the alein language codes. We like having to think.

Could not have said it better.

They are definitely making the show for a wider audience, and the lady gaga thing, come on....

I agree with this. They're afraid of being cancelled again due to lack of popularity so they're taking away what made the show great to the cult to make it just okay to the wider populus. I miss the integrity of the writing pre-cancellation.

What did you guys think of the movies?

Benders Big Score was perfect. It was everything Futurama stood for, and then some. They incorporated all aspects of the show into the one movie, down to minute details, like shit from the first season, explaining what was going on in the background while Fry was frozen. Ie, Bender blowing shit up in a spaceship whilst going back in time to steal shit for the nudists. Hilarious, and clever.

I guess I'm all Venture Bros until Futurama wakes up and realizes the only thing that made them popular was the cult following who did get their jokes, satire, and even the alien language, as said earlier by our shiny metal friend.

After the big score...... I just don't know..

I almost feel betrayed, or maybe sold out is a better term.


Jesus, I'm a fucking Futurama hipster. All 3 of us are...

I'm very drunk right now and con not be bothered to proof read this. Maybe I've drank too much, or not enough, I can't remember how it works with you..

Your quarter is REJECTED get out there and start living again.

Anybody know how hard it would be to use software to make our own episodes? We would probably be a good writing team, JS.

You should take the string off the quarter Dave.


I have the software. Animation skills, not so much.

It would be fun to chop up several episodes to create one. It would involve watching A LOT of Futurama, which I am ok with.

Of course we could just start a thread and make our own fanscript and turn it in to the dick heads at I hope someone is laughing at this Central.

so my schedule is pretty open. I do life/gym things in the am so any time after 2 eastern right now I'm free because my temp job is 100% done. weeknights would be best since there's not much going on and my weekends are packed. I'm doing a bunch of travelling at the end of the month/first few weeks of september where I'd appreciate if we all paused in the watching while I'm gone and then hopefully I'll be working again mid-late september - not sure what kind of a schedule this leaves us. I say cram in as much as possible as soon as possible- you can never watch too many episodes of futurama in a row.

I'm gonna start uploading the first season to livestream, I'm not sure if my 2Mb upload can handle the stream, but I can upload 2 gigs at a time.

I'll wait to see what Dave says, but I'm good to start this shit tonight, or tomorrow evening.

Yield, your av says you don't live in the US (yet), I guess you do?

And Dave, you live in Wisconsin right? I'm in Central Standard Time, is WI the same?

I'm going to say we start the stream every other night, like M,W,F, or whatever. I figure we can knock out a half a season in a day or two.

Check this out, I though you guys might like this. I got the opportunity to meet Billy West and I had him sign this for me. He said it was the best signature he ever did. It was at an arcade, which I found appropriate for Fry.







Also, I'm going to start a new thread for the stream thing. We can discuss it there.

Social life? I'm married. We don't have that anymore

Otherwise I will try to catch these as they show up. I actually live in SC, dirty south and such. I have all the seasons except the new ones, so if I miss a session I can catch up. I work oddly. When I do work, its usually for 27 hours straight. I drive to Indiana, pick up a camper and drive back. No real set schedule. I'll try and keep up though.
