Just finished Futurama (thanks Ash). Apparently there are some movies and a couple of other, newer seasons. Has anyone watched them? Does anyone know if it’s as good as the original?
Ooh boy, my time to shine! 😄
There were 4 seasons produced for Fox. Fox doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing and jumbled up the episodes, so they aired those 4 seasons as 5. Hulu and Netflix (when they had it) used the Fox 5-season order, the DVDs use the 4-season production order.
Comedy Central brought it back for four DVD movies which make up production season 5, aired season 6 (Hulu has the movies in their cutdown 16-episode format as season 6). They’re good.
Then Comedy Central brought it back “properly” as two 26-episode season orders, production seasons 6 and 7. They aired them as four 13-episode seasons, aired seasons 7-10. Hulu and Netflix use the four aired season orders, the DVDs use production episode order but still split them up into four “volumes.”
The last seasons are good overall, but the lows are lower than the Fox seasons. They’re definitely still worth watching, and the finale is excellent (though I still prefer “Devil’s Hands” as the “true” finale).
