I wasn't much of a fan of Matt Groening's more famous creation, 'The Simpsons', but I've been hooked on Futurama from the first time I watched it. Maybe it was the satirical humor, the stupid jokes, identifying a little with the protagonist Fry, or wanting to be more like Bender, or maybe it's because it was a straight-up awesome cartoon adventure. I felt a little sad inside when Fox canceled Futurama after the fourth season, so imagine my excitement upon hearing news of a 5th season coming back in the form of a trilogy of movies that would be re-cut and re-edited to tv episodes.
Well let's just say that this show didn't disappoint. In fact I would be so bold as to say that it's just as good if not, better than any of the previous seasons. The show just seems to get better and better as it goes along, contrary to most tv shows. And the running gag on Fox network is just too funny. They weren't scared to venture into time-traveling and paradoxes this time, which is a writer's nightmare's considering all the potential plotholes and flaws that have to be covered up. It was nice seeing everything was written flawlessly and all loose ends covered. I await in much anticipation and glee to the forthcoming movies.
4/5 stars

Yes, I was instantly hooked after watching the first episode of Futurama. The robot Bender is the star of the show, in my opinion.
Wow, you two watch a lot of movies! I like your concise and unpretentious reviews.
