I don’t know about you all, but I consider myself to belong in the GenX population. Most of my younger coworkers have maybe heard about Futurama but have never seen it. So many of the references and jokes relate to older pop culture. I am hoping some of the new episodes will be relatable to GenZ and beyond. What are your thoughts?
Our kids are 16, 19, and 21, and they all love it. They don’t get all the references, but they ask and enjoy learning new things. Maybe it won’t be quite the same for them, but I have a lot of hope!
There will always be shows where the references go over the viewers heads. Hell, I’ve had to Google so much from The Golden Girls that I didn’t understand. My 10 year old and 7 year old both love Futurama. The characters are timeless.

For all things Futurama
Rule 1: Don’t be a jerkwad!
Rule 2: Alternate video links to be linked in a comment, below the original video.
Imagine the scene where Fry is in his 20th century apartment, and having to explain to your children that you absolutely lived like that.
They’d be reacting like the other characters do!

My son who is 15 just started watching it and loves it. Seems like it has appeal across generations.
