If they reboot with a new cast I think it would be okay. The fun part of Futurama's setting was how it opened up so many creative possibilities. A lot of people say the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes were some of the best the Simpsons had and I think it was because it gave the writers freedom to explore all kinds of settings and ideas. In Futurama you could have them go to different planets, or time travel, or whatever. The Sci-Fi setting opened the gates to a lot of refreshing newness.
same here. from what i've spoiled myself the whole thing goes in a direction that i was really hoping it was, just with a few little twists. from silly weird nerdy episodic kids show to ow my feels post-apocalyptic shipfest

Yeah this is why Family Guy is such a weird and terrible show. They are never fettered by any limitations, their earliest episodes are about the family surviving a nuclear apocalypse, meeting the pope, and fighting a giant sentient chicken. Yet instead they choose to go with the lamest boomer shit imaginable.
I liked the strategy of hiring a bunch of pop culture obsessed stem phds for the writing staff. Really the perfect crew to write a satirical scifi show.

I should actually finish Adventure Time...

Sounds a bit like SU...now I'm wondering why I didn't watch them at the same time.
You can only handle so much CalArts style at once without your teeth rotting out. :so-true:
do it, it's excellent
the hour-long specials after the end of the show are mandatory too

And horrible bigotry.
