With theFuturamacastreassembled again, the sci-fi sitcom is being given another chance to right the wrongs of its past.
However, the question remains whether a second revival was a good idea.
The title card isFuturama’s self-made opportunity to throw another joke into the mixbefore the episode has officially started.
Regardless, Hulu didn’t play it safe, and broughtFuturamaback on a multi-season deal.
Fortunately, the show has shown marked improvement sinceFuturamaseason 11’s compelling ending.
Hopefully,Futuramawill continue to get better and justify Hulu’s multi-season renewals.
Futurama follows the exploits of Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy from 1999 who is cryogenically frozen for 1000 years. Waking up in the year 3000, Fry befriends a cyclops named Leela and a roguish robot named Bender, and the three find employment with Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery service. Their work takes them to all corners of the universe, exploring space and the future as imagined by Matt Groening and the creators of The Simpsons.
