Mike Duffy Detroit Free Press Thanks to Matt Groening's freewheeling, signature impertinence, Futurama is a fresh jolt of astute cartoon lampoon. Rated: 3/4 Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Matt Buchanan Sydney Morning Herald Futurama makes for spectacularly conventional, unimaginative sci-fi. And it's barely funny, even for a pilot or the more narrowly focused sci-fi spoof it threatens to evolve into. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Misha Ketchelll The Age (Australia) It whips along at a cracking pace, fueled by spanking new ideas, smart one-liners, visual gags and the obligatory cheeky references. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News Like much of Futurama, the gimmicks sound funnier than they are. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel Futurama isn't even a mild chuckle. At its best moments -- there haven't been many -- it's a slight smile. This isn't a rash judgment: Futurama wasn't funny on opening night; it didn't improve second time out, and it was no better [this week]. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Martin Renzhofer Salt Lake Tribune Thankfully, Groening does not try to rip himself off. The only traits Futurama shares with The Simpsons are the same creativity and zany look at life. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
