That Box Network clip of them hitting themselves and jabbering in gibberish is my single favorite thing the Futurama team has ever produced. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the network censor first reacted to it.
As one in the voice/audio industry, I really appreciate you drawing attention to the amazing actors behind the lines--and to the gall the industry has in ignoring the value a VA brings. Thanks!
It's remarkable to see a show going from network TV, to direct to DVD, then cable and finally streaming services. Most long running TV series maintain their presence in the same place.
DVD will never die..Although many are optimistic,, facts is, not everything IS and will be available on streaming for a long as these big shots are scared of piracy..... as the root of the problem, so there is nothing to worry about. Its just one huge stereotype that convince everyone "everything goes on"
Thanks for unraveling the rights situation. I remember reading the odd article every couple of years that Futurama has changed its distributor yet again, and this paints the complete picture!
Newest FUTURAMA episodes are okay and feels like the writers havent quite gotten their feet under them yet. It feels a lot like season 1 where it was fine and showed some potential but its not quite there yet.
It really felt like they were playing it save and tried to cram all the stuff in it they missed the past years. Really looking forward to the next seasons though.
@@ForboJack I think you get it. A satire sitcom that comes back after 10 years is gonna be so much topicality to make references to. I think they got most of it out of their system ready for the rest of season 8.
Not gonna lie, I actually liked the most recent Hulu season! "The Temp" and "Attack of the Clothes" were hilarious episodes. It's best to maybe treat this new era of the show to be like an epilogue of sorts - little extra bits of what otherwise felt like a complete story
My main problem was with the characterisation, I really don't mind topical episodes, I just wish that Leela's intensity and work ethic were more present, that Fry was still curious and would wander around instead of standing there saying dumb things, that Bender's apathy was more clearly contrasted with his insecurities... Season 6 has some solid showcase episodes for each of the main cast, these past two seasons just seem to be missing that and going more for spectacle than legitimate character development. The best episodes of the new seasons were the ones where nothing much happened other than the crew hanging out, like the book club episode.
.."and when will they be, I'm on a bit of a time schedule 😆 35 years and we are still waiting. Isn't it better to just believe the true, and accept it ? With AI taking over and all the facts point to loss of income, there will always be those that fail to see the light.... I saw the light 20 years ago buddy. Its just no one wants to accept the truth.
I know people have been complaining about each revival not being as good as the original since they started but as someone who has been watching since day 1 I submit that the show has always been 10/10 on average and I will welcome each and every time they decide to bring it back. Each episode of Futurama is a gift (just like "It was a Sh*t Show)!
I should rewatch the Comedy Central seasons. I don’t think it’ll be as good, but there’s probably some other stuff I overlooked initially. I forgot Bender’s “Let’s go, _already!”_ came from those seasons. It fits him so perfectly I could imagine it being part of the original run. One of my favourites lines from the Hulu season is when Mom thanks people (in a town hall setting) for letting “Momazon” be part of their “community”, and an audience member responds, “Why don’t you go to Hell and be part of that community?” Must’ve laughed for a solid minute, and I’m still laughing now, lol.
That's why The Late Phillip J. Fry sticks out so much, that episode helps me appreciate not only the time we have now, but the time we have with the show, as it might end after the next 20 episodes.
When it comes to Futurama, I preferred watching it on DVD as there was always so many bonus features that kept it fresh. The commentary tracks alone were worth the money. As for streaming, I can't say as I care for it beyond sites like RUclips. Physical media will always be better as far as I'm concerned and I'm not interested in paying monthly subscription fees.
I guess, but with the RUclips nowadays, it's become less of a reason more and more NOT to get the DVD.. Most of the behind the scenes stuff is on RUclips anyway...... While there is some things that aren't. the trade off's are well worth it, based on "What" you get. I recon.
Whenever i meet a cast member from the show, whether it's Maurice LeMarche or Billy West at a comic con, i always tell them thank you immediately. They're exactly the reasons why people watch it.
I love the use of oxymorons with "every way you can interpret" and "very definition," and "hidden" and "Futurama' to come to think of it- but love the positivity and am all for sharing Futurama love!
I have no idea why this is only being recommended to me months after release, but this was an incredibly well produced love letter to the series and I look forward to rewatching this series many times over in the future
I really love the voice actor appreciation near the end of this video. They’re literally a vital to the entertainment industry & it always sucks to see them get walked all over by studios who don’t respect them
"Then a wondrous thing happened, why not?" Nice. I'm looking forward to parts 3, 4, and 5 of this series. You know, when it gets cancelled, and then picked up again by another RUclips.
The hulu era of futurama just feels like it relies too heavily on the whole "Hey here's a modern thing from 2024, isn't it so quirky that we're parodying it in 3000?" and that's the only kind of humor it has. It feels like it doesn't know how to make the jokes it used to.
You did a great job making this video and the part 1 video!! I started being a "Futurama" fan when Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" had the show because I messed out on the initial Fox run, but I really liked the show that I stuck around until the paywall which is Hulu had it… but like "Spaceballs"(1987) I STILL love it today!!
How ironic that the producers think the actors are expendable, then this show goes through multiple sets of producers with the same voice actors and persists
I rewatched Quantum Leap, it was kinda rough to get all the way through.....and they had no ending. I have watched FG and Futurama through dozens of times 👽🗿👽🤖
It feels like the budget is even lower for the Hulu reboot. I love how the first episode aired right during the strike and was a merciless criticism of how overworked and underrespected writers and actors are.
What a wonderful review, thank you! It really helps reinforce how awesome it was to have this show pop in and out of my life for so many years. I recently found a cassette tape I made of the audio of the first three episodes so I could listen to them on my walkman. And now I'm going back through the whole series again.
Wow I just watched Part1 a few weeks ago, was a bit shocked & annoyed when I got to the end without Part2 available... but HOLY SHIT I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS BROUGHT BACK OMG!!! Too bad I wont give $$ to disney but Ill take a free month of Hulu lol... Awesome video :)
While I still prefer the fox seasons, the Hulu Season was far above the Comedy Central seasons and movie-episodes in my opinion. I think the extra time they get per episode really improved the quality, and I hope they can keep the quality into the next 20-30 episodes.
Thanks for talking about the rise of adult swim and Cartoon Network with family guy and futurama. That’s how most kids like me at the time discovered these shows. Staying up past bedtime after 8 discovering these shows. God it was great to be kid during that tv cartoon era.
Really hope the next season is more on par with the older stuff. Just seemed like the episodes were more about current topics vs creative original stories.
23:16 on multiple occasions I saw many people saying they wouldn't watch hulurama, including me. DiMaggio is the Futurama what something that relates to this connection is to another thing!
Ian Michael Jentzsch - That was fucking awesome. The editing to match the narration, and the script itself, was top notch. Kudos to you for the undoubtedly time consuming, but impeccable work.
Family guy is still on the air? I haven't heard anyone breath a word about it in a decade. I figured it just silently got cancelled like everything else. I just Googled it, and it sounds like it's winding down. Crazy that Family guy outlived Futurama because I do hear something once in a while about it. Jesus... I just looked up the Simpsons, and that's still on. WTF? It's 15 years or so since I've heard someone talk about that show.
I had watched some of the show years ago but the newest season made me actually watch everything. On the whole, it’s one of my favorite animated shows ever, even one of my favorite shows ever. I had no idea the show went through so much trouble, such a shame for such a banger show.
I remember when j first started watching this a few years ago my dad was shocked he said i remember when that. First aired and couldn’t believe there was seasons he hadn’t seen yet as he was a big fan of them so he caught up on a few season last year
This was superbly edited. Matching the script to clips of the show must’ve taken ages and an encyclopedic knowledge of the show.
Can't tell if used AI to find matching clips or just worked long and hard.
This is what I scrolled down to say, and you already said it so well. And it's the top comment; pinned in fact. How convenient.

Futurama will always have a special place with me. I swear a quarter of their ratings come from me rewatching it over and over again! 😅
Hypnotoad reruns are hard to resist
likewise.
Honestly, after seeing this it does kinda make me want to just let it stream even when I'm not watching, just to support the numbers for the show.

This reminds me of old G4 programming, I guess just TV in general. I really liked this video
This is my favourite RUclips channel. The research is immense. And yet, saying 'aksed or axed' instead of 'asked' is absolutely unforgivable.

Amazing video essays. 'The importance of voice actors' was just beautiful.
to me the ending of "meanwhile" was a perfect conclusion to the series, ending on a timeloop.
Futurama has top voice talents. I know all of them by name because I see their names everywhere.

Thoughtful, eloquent, and well edited. If you're not careful, youll get cancelled 😅

Okay, didn't expect this episode to turn that direction toward the end, but a great point.

lmao that intro, the futurama writers would chuckle & applaud you ^^
I used to watch this show in the 2000s. Never knew it was resurrected 3 times
I have such fond memories of growing up watching "the scary door"
i look forward to watching these 2 parts in a few years from now. this is very well made. i could have waited forever.
reminds me of farscape every other season finale was a "we might get cancelled" ending
Absolut perfection ! From the first second to the very last! Keep up the amazing work
19:02 I still say to this day that crossover should've been an hour long
Didn't even realize there are now more episodes available since I don't subscriber to hulu. Futurama is one of my favorite shows ever!
amazing... i just watched part one 6 hours ago and was like bro i need part 2
I thought there was only 4 seasons of Futurama !!! Damm i missed a lot.
Amazing video, i cant wait for the next 10 Disney+ Episodes to come out next week.
Impeccable production value. Good shit
