I’ve just found this article about Futurama on The Independent, a UK newspaper. It comments on the changes in Futurama reflecting the changes in society in general.

    I liked it, there were a handful of old-style Futurama jokes that I appreciated.

    I was and still am concerned about all the “look at all the crazy new things in our culture like TikTok and NFTs!” that’s not gonna be evergreen in 20 more years, but I dig it so far.

      The early seasons were full of jokes that were “of their time”. I don’t think this is inherently bad. The whole schtick of the show has been to satirize modern life by presenting a wackier futuristic cartoon version of it.
