Futurama Definitely Going Back into cancellation, like it should

Futurama ended with the holosaxophone thing, that's all I'm getting at. That was a good ending for the show.

That was the best ending for the show, really.

Not endind is a better ending.

These new episodes are great and infinetely better than the show juat being over. I can't wait for next season.

I think you have it backwards. It's not wacky that he's a robot who does bad things, it's more like being a robot who has to drink alcohol to stay charged is a great loophole to have that voice in the show that is just doing all the wrong things and showing no sympathy at all at the worst times. I don't even know if it would be half as funny coming from a human character. It'd be like if Barney was a total asshole instead of just being really sad, which would be cosiderably less funny.

This thread makes me sad that I still haven't seen Chinatown. I'm trying to fix that RIGHT THIS SECOND.

edit: This was supposed to go in another thread! I am SO EMBARRASSED

The one thing that does bother me are the present day pop culture references they try to slide in as one liners. It seems so out of place and they are never funny.

This seems to be the most recent futurama thread

Did anyone else watch the final episode? It was a fantastic send off for the show definitely the perfect ending
