I've seen a ton of people saying the new season is bad and I just want to put out there that I think it's pretty good.
I don't think bender is hitting the mark like he did in the first couple seasons, but the other characters are doing great. And let's be honest, bender has been overused for a long time. I think people have built up Futurama to some god-like show that never had a dud joke, but half of them have always missed the mark and the other half have always been amazing. I don't think this season or this episode are any different.
The first episode made fun of their new network which I saw a lot of complaining over, but it's what they've done for the first episode of every reboot.
The second episode was pretty good (though I think the weakest of the three).
This episode was filled with clevar jokes. The premise alone was great, their excuse for why this was happening was hysterical, and the interactions felt right - like it hadn't been 10 years since they were together.
