Futurama Renewed For More Seasons
Futurama has undeniably left a lasting impression on both animation and science fiction enthusiasts alike. With its unique blend of 2D animation and CGI, coupled with a plethora of unforgettable characters and clever humor, it's no wonder why fans continue to sing its praises. From Fry's endearing cluelessness to Bender's sarcastic wit, the show's cast of characters has become beloved fixtures in pop culture.
One of the show's greatest strengths lies in its ability to seamlessly blend humor with heart. Episodes like "Jurassic Bark" tug at the heartstrings, reminding us viewers that beneath its sci-fi veneer, "Futurama" is capable of delivering poignant moments that resonate deeply. Moreover, its endless array of pop culture references, from subtle nods to full-blown parodies, kept me engaged and entertained.
The revival of Futurama for its eighth season on Hulu is a testament to its enduring popularity. While the show has had its share of ups and downs, including multiple cancellations and resurrections, its loyal fanbase has remained steadfast throughout. The decision to bring back the original voice cast, including the irreplaceable John DiMaggio as Bender, ensures that the essence of the series remains intact.
As for the gaps in airing, Futurama has had a tumultuous history. Originally airing on Fox from 1999 to 2003, the show was canceled due to low ratings but found a second life in syndication and DVD sales. It was then revived by Comedy Central in 2009, where it aired until 2013 before being canceled again. The subsequent revival on Hulu for season 8 in 2023 came as a welcome surprise to me, further cementing the show's status as a cult classic.
Futurama continues to stand as a shining example of animated comedy done right. Its originality, dedication to detail, and ability to balance humor with heart have solidified its place in television history. Futurama offers something for everyone and remains a must-watch for anyone looking for a futuristic adventure filled with laughs and heartwarming moments.
P.S I just learned that season air has already aired and I would start watching it probably tomorrow and I might be back with a review

I loved Futurama's conclusion in season 7: it was perfect for the show, imho. Now what will they do? Will the story keep going on (somehow) or will season 8 be a reboot kinda?
Indeed the conclusion was really good it left us in a good place i just hope that they won't turn the show upside down to continue !
I fully agree with you: let's hope they know what they are doing and aren't going to turn a good show in an ugly one just to make more money.
Great show!
I don't have a particular favorite episode, but their humor and references are great!
I'll wait for the season to come out
Yes for me it's one of the best shows, In my mind the episode that is stacked every time I try to drink coca cola is S2.E4
Now I'll have to rewatch it because I can't remember what exactly it's talking about, I'm intrigued!
