Every time this happens, I am initially a little disappointed. It hurts every time it ends, every new series isn't quite as good as Jurassic Bark. Still, every time this happens I'm filled with joy. I wonder how many young folks will discover this series for the first time through the new one and go back and enjoy all the old ones.

X2. The movies and then new seasons were okay, but in a different way where they kind of seemed to be caricatures of the original run.

Jurassic Bark is always the mentioned best episode with Futurama, but it (and Luck of the Fryish) is just so sad. Not that they aren't good episodes, but the Luna Park episode in season 1 (with Bender assaulting the mascot, the "moonbillies"), then Bender getting hooked on electricity in Hell is Other Robots and even Mars University with Gunter's classic line (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uqjv0mHpapk) are all great. Godfellas and Pharoah to Remember are also underrated.

Prisoner of Benda was pretty good from the latter seasons, I thought.

The second finale was really good, too.

I enjoyed the later seasons, although I'm the type that would prefer a relationship to gradually decay until you don't have any interest rather than cut your losses while it's still good.

If we took this same approach to star wars and killed the franchise during episodes 7-9, we would have never gotten The Book of Boba Fett.
