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?

My 10 year old daughter has been rewatching it for years. She found a role model in Leela and a name for her cat in Fry.

As for the references and jokes, yea many go over her head. But as time progresses, fewer and fewer. And she often asks about stuff she doesn’t understand.

Even without a complete understanding of the jokes and references, she absolutely adores the show. And is asking on a daily basis if the new episodes are out yet.
