New Futurama Episodes/Movies

[on:]

I think it's great that futurama is coming back on air (or so I've heard). But if it does what if it's awful. I have evry faith that it won't be but if it is then it will ruin the first 4 series which were solid gold. I bring up at this point the simpson episodes within the last 3-5 years. They have just been repeating themselves, How many times have Homer and Marge had a near divorce situation and how many times has Lisa had an identidy crisis. I'm just saying I hope that the new futurama episodes won't ruin the others.

I somewhat agree. However, luckly, the current talk is of movies. They can give us shippers precisely what we want in a nice movie-finale package. Please!

You heard wrong. There are negotiations about doing a direct-to-DVD movie. New episodes are just wild Internet rumours.

How will new episodes ruin the old ones if they're below average in quality? Will "Roswell That Ends Well" retroactively become  a steaming pile of bat droppings if the new episodes disappoint? It might stain the overall reputation of Futurama, but I don't understand how it could hurt the existing episodes.

Take the Simpsons example. Yes, the last 5-6 seasons have been a mixed blessing at best. But seesons 1 through 9 was among the best television made in the last 2 decades, and I'd rank them above Futurama in quality (at least 5-9).

Welcome to PEEL. Enjoy it here.
