must say, this seasons better than it ever was before almost:)

I am liking it. I especially liked yesterday's episode. I finally realized "it" when there were 5 minutes or so left. Good ending, good song. Good episode in general.

I'm enjoying it as well.
Alot of people don't think it stands up to the older ones, but I think it's just nostalgia and whatever makes people think older episodes are better (this goes with South Park, Family Guy, and most other shows that have multiple seasons).
My daughter (almost 4) stated watching it and loves it (especially Baby Bender in this weeks episode!)

I like episodes like last night. Kind of like the episode when Leela first meets her parents and there's the part at the end showing her growing up and her parents always being just around the corner all the time.

I loved the movies and some of the new episodes are excellent some are sub par. Last nights episode was really good.

So far, not so great (but still better than a lot of other drek on TV.) I haven't seen last night's yet, but the first 3 or so episodes seem to be struggling, with a few nice bits here and there.

But then again, I remember some episodes falling kinda flat in the previous seasons, as well.

Wow I thought the episodes were absolute garbage. The story moves at a mile a minute, trying to force in as many lame ass jokes as possible into 22 minutes. It's going in the exact same direction as the new Simpsons. I haven't seen the latest one, but I'm not expecting anything good.

I was definitely expecting much more from the people who made one of my favorite shows.

Do us a favor and stop watching then.

I have to say... I haven't been too happy with the season so far yet either. I enjoyed the first ep, and the Apple ep enough, but the rest have been pretty subpar by previous Futurama standards =/

I'm really enjoying this season so far. The jackhammer, and the backup beeper were great :)

Remember, not EVERY episode can be the best episode ever.

Awesome episodes. These are right on par - if not better than - the earlier seasons. Color me impressed.

PUT YOUR NOSTALGIA GLASSES BACK ON, YOU MUST NOT SAY SUCH THINGS!

I agree, and I've watched older episodes alot recently since my daughter got into it. There are alot of not so good older ones.

The last episode about Benders mortality was awesome too. The part where Hermes throws away his cell phone because they put phones in booths now was priceless.
