    If it’s good, that’s great! If it isn’t good, then I hope everyone involved enjoyed making it. This isn’t the first time we’ve been through this.

    Since it’s had four endings, now five with the most recent reboot, that’d make it 80% reboots

      Thank you, I was hoping someone had done the math because it felt like more. I’m going to confidently quote this fact without checking it, I trust you.

      What are the 4 endings? The original Fox run, the movies run, and then the Comedy Central run. What am I missing?

    Don’t forget the all-important 0.04% nickel impurity!

    How is this a reboot? Isn’t it just a continuation? Reboot implies they’re starting over…

      “Reboot: A new direction taken on by a pre-established story or character. Remake: A retelling of a story audiences have seen before, but typically with a difference.”

      This is definition of film reboot. I think you’re referring to a software/hardware reboot.

        Ooh gotcha, thanks for the reply. I would ask though, is this a reboot by that definition? Doesn’t seem to be taking a new direction.

          In my opinion it is a reboot.

          Show is obviously not “changing” but it’s under new direction (literally) and I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t inject more modern situations and humor into the show.

          Reboot implies starting over

          turning it off and back on again

          Correct

    Fair, but there hasn’t been a decent reboot of anything in forever.

    So I’m going in with no expectations to avoid disappointment. If it’s good I’ll be happy, if it’s bad I won’t be surprised

      Well, all of the previous Futurama reboots were good.

      (Maybe except for the one where the writers decided to protest against too many reboots and inserted all those jokes about how reboots are lame. Or maybe that’s the best one, IDK.)

        Sure, but the last Futurama reboot was a long time ago. I can’t think of too many good reboots that have come out since
