I perhaps give Futurama too much leeway because in my mind partly because it will always be "the good 'The Simpsons'" and partly because I have watched it so frequently and so often that all the seasons kind of run together in my mind and it's hard to separate out the bad ones. The one episode that stands out as being completely unforgivable to me is the eye-phone one. There were a couple episodes around that time that really got into the topical humor Family Guy/South Park rhythm and they were just terrible. One of the great aspects of Futurama is how well jokes from the first season hold up even now. I'm not sure 'timeless' is the right word but it's the one I'm going to use anyway. Whatever season it was where they were doing iPhone jokes and Susan Boyle jokes (like three years after they stopped being relevant it seems) was terrible by Futurama standards, but even then they're probably only "kinda bad" when compared to the rest of tv. But again, I probably give them too much leeway. |

Even the absolute dumpster fire episodes contain little nuggets of genius that make it hard to say "this show sucks" you know? |
