So far the tone of the new Futurama has been a lot closer to original run Futurama than the Comedy Central era. This is a good thing. The jokes aren't great yet, but there is at least an attempt to make it work. I'll keep watching for now, we'll see if the quality stays in the watchable range.

The new Futurama episode was okay. Still not super funny, but they didn't even try and do anything topical with the crypto episode, they just did a wild west parody. Had a few jokes I laughed at, mostly involving Bender. The fact that they didn't try and deal with crypto in anything approaching a serious way, I'm a lot less nervous that they're going to do another Susan Boyle episode. Still wish it was funnier.

the latest episode was like the others this season: not very special, but not as bad as the worst episodes, and had references to the good original episodes

Yeah, for all their attempts, they can't seem to turn on the funny. The only character I consistently find funny is Zoidberg, everyone else is very hit or miss.

What was with Futurama making fun of Kwanzaa so much?

Honestly, it's because they loved having Coolio on as Kwanzaa bot. He was apparently super fun and enthusiastic. But there's really only so many jokes you can do about a character called Kwanzaa bot, so they tell that one joke as many times as they can.

New episode was so goddamn bad

Extremely, extremely bad. Trying to be super topical is a Futurama Death Sentence.

It's not even super topical we've reached the point where "LOL COVID WAS WILD" is already played out

Another issue with Futurama's attempts to be topical: they're always at least a year behind the curve.

:confused: the latest episode ("Zap Gets Cancelled") was the least worst of this new run, despite the premise.

Damning with faint praise, but I agree. At least this episode had jokes. Honestly, it still hasn't been worth watching though.

That last episode was okay, it actually had some jokes. Not great or good, but okay.

Still doesn't raise the season above a 4/10. Not worth the time I put in unfortunately.
