Eh, agree to disagree. I really like there rebooted family guy and futurama
Platinums: Red Dead Redemption, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Terminator Salvation, Uncharted 1, inFamous Second Son, Rocket League
I'm guessing we won't hear what Major Nelson hears back from the company until after the console launch.

I had friends say the same thing about other cartoons such as ATHF and Home Movies. They were like why the hell you watching that? That is stupid. Then they ended up liking the show after a few episodes. Somes series require a few episodes to start enjoying them (have to get to know the characters). I was the same way about Bob's Burgers (mainly was annoyed by the little kid's voices) but then after watching it a few times I started enjoying the show (and the show surprised me along the way with some topics). |
same here O always give a show a chance over a few episodes.... to be honnest most of my fav shows started up by looking pretty bad IMO but once you get the tone and character BG it can change everything....

Oh yeah, that is that. And to the people that bashed Arrested Development on Netflix, shame on you, I loved that season.
Microsoft will have a full fledged TV package of their own by the time this gen finishes. All for just the price of Gold is now. I can see it. Spielberg doing Halo, Futurama etc.
Please revive Jericho Microsoft. That show was Fing unbelieveable. Such a shame it got cancelled halfway through season 2. It was so good.
Im so excited for Xbox One.
Sorry to derail, but was there a reason for Comedy Central to cancel Futurama's second run?

My issue was ADs strength was always the cast and understanding the right amount of time to use a character in an episode. The reboot tried something different by doing character focused episodes, but this led to an uneven feeling for me. I loved some episodes, but others were just okay due to my character preference. Honestly I tend to agree this reboot business is so hard because the old episodes gather such a cult following that the jokes become memes so regardless of quality put out will fall short of expectations.
I actually enjoyed majority of Futurama reboot that were on Comedy Central. Still, it ran its course and was fine to see it close out. I'd rather a show leave early making me want more than continue on sullying the memory. At this point I even have gotten over Firefly's insanely poor handling by Fox.

I am not a big fan of futurama, in fact I find it hard to see why people like it but at the same time I think it is kind of awesome from MS if they succeed.
Hahaha, holy shit. 10 years ago, this would've been more of a system seller for me than any video-game Microsoft could've thought up.
Unfortunately, it went out with a whimper rather than a bang at the end of the final (currently) season. 1-4 were all kinds of fantastic. The revived feature-length episodes were generally good, with "Beast with a billion backs" being the highlight. Season 6 was incredibly hit and miss, and the first time I've felt like skipping certain episodes. Still, things like "Prisoner of Benda" and "The Late Phillip J Fry" being up there with anything in the first 4.
Then Season 7 came, and missed a lot more than it hit, and I finally felt ready to say goodbye to the show. I have no doubt that I'll be rewatching the whole series time and time again in the future, but I don't have the same desire to see new exploits of Planet Express crew anymore. They've told all the good stories they can tell, and getting 1-2 good episodes in a 20+ episode season isn't good enough.
It's the same way I feel about Arrested Development. I was so hyped about them reviving it, and there were plenty of good episodes in the new season, but there was also plenty of rubbish in there, and I went away thinking "I'm not too fussed if I see the Bluths again or not".
It's a shame. And a nice idea from Hyrb, but I feel that what little of their fanbase was actually left wouldn't be back for a new season, especially if it required a console purchase that they may or may not have.
