Futurama (1999–2013) is one of the smartest animated comedies ever made. Wild sci fi ideas, dense jokes, and then out of nowhere it’ll land an episode that completely wrecks you. Few shows balance brainy humor and real emotion like that.
I can remember watching Futurama first-run when it was brand new. Tuesday night in 1999. Somehow it's still on, terrible & bearing no relation to what it used to be. Everything is like that
I don't think he's had any real genuine creative involvement with the show in a long, long time. He more likely stepped away from it all together once he got Futurama off the ground back in 1999. He probably just signs off on whatever dumb crap the writers cook up now.
