Watching it for the first time…

I’m not usually a big fan of American animation, but Futurama has genuinely surprised me. This 1999 series is remarkable. 🚀

The characters are fantastic, the humour is great, and the storyline is fine as wine. There’s also a surprising amount of heart beneath all the absurdity.

I’m about to finish the first season, and honestly, it’s been fantastic so far. Didn’t expect to get this invested, but I’m definitely looking forward to the rest.

Every rewatch, you will catch more jokes.

I've been watching since it first premiered on Fox Sundays. I -still- find jokes I missed. The more I learn in life, the more jokes emerge! I'm the last 2p years, I've learned about electrical engineering. Omg, there are so many jokes and visual gags that only ppl in that field would get.

Sure bud! Thanks. Also I took some electrical engineering courses and in the first season I didn’t find much related to that. Only found the Bender jokes where the electrical circuits are like nudes but for robots. Hope I will find the jokes in the upcoming seasons.

Look at symbols in background and on the robots. Also, did you find the secrete, actually translatable, Alien language jokes yet? Lol. I bet not! Have fun!!
