Anyone catch the first two episodes of the new Futurama?

The first episode was okay, but the second one sucked. A few minor characters had different voices, once being a completely different voice actors that really threw me off and another just not sounding like the character did in earlier episodes.

Amy's dad (Leo Wong) is no longer voiced by Billy West and is now voiced by some "appropriately skin/race" person that Leo Wong represents in the show (Asian) - I think this is fucked up.

David Herman does the voice the Whale Biologist from the Three Hundred Big Boys episode, but the voice sounds very different in the characters appearance as the "bear" biologist in the second episode that recently came out. It sounded so different to me that I had to look it up to see if they changed voice actors.

I haven't watched the third episode yet, but I don't have high hopes for it because of possible voice actor changes and the lack of creativity that the original series had. I'll stick it out for a few more episodes, but if they can't even be as creative as they were for the second reboot part of the series, I won't be watching this third reboot through to the end.

They just need to let "Futurama" rest in peace already.

The original run was great. The movies that came afterwards were "meh", and the revival series that came out about a decade ago were...less than "meh"...and the revival revival series that came out a few years ago were God awful.

I'm sure this third revival revival revival will be hot garbage.

I haven’t seen the new stuff, but the Slurm factory episode will haunt me for the rest of my life.

The movies, I thought Bender's Big Score was good. I didn't like The Beast with a Billion Backs. Bender's Game was almost as good as Big Score. Into the Wild Green Yonder was okay. Then about half of the episodes were decent from the reboot, the other half were meh (at best) to a couple being really bad. I do like how the last episode tied things off and after watching that final episode, Comedy Central had another episode of Futurama on and it was the very first one....I thought it was a neat way to bring everything back around again full circle.

This third reboot so far sucks, but that's just after only watching 2 episodes. I really should give the third episode a go, but I'm hesitant based on how the first and second one were.

That didn't stop Fry from enjoying Slurm.
