For me there are basically only 1-3 episodes in each season that I could consider somewhat funny. The jokes aren't great anymore. Don't know if it's Disney ownership that made season 11,12 boring or the writers basically done all jokes already.

I think it was the wrong move to revive Futurama for these 2 last seasons. Last time it ended perfect with meanwhile. Or the ending in into the wild green yonder with the wormhole. Those two I consider great.

They have a few good jokes here and there, but the overall plot for the majority of the episodes are just so lame. Even all the way up to season 10 things like NFTs crypto, and COVID would have been a one off joke not the entire plot of the episode. The eyePhone episode is subtle compared to how in your face these new seasons are with "current" events. And these new seasons are just fanfare mixed with topical bullshit. "Hey, remember all the characters from the show and their catch phrases? Now watch this episode about NFTs or an episode about the King of Space that feels like it was written for a completely different show."

I've been falling asleep to Futurama for almost 15 years and I've seen every episode dozens of times (I'm literally watching season 3 in the background right now as I procrastinate on sleep). I even watch it when I'm working out. But when it reaches season 11, I just restart the series. Which is a shame because there are some decent episodes in the new seasons. But I'm kind of avoiding them like the plague after I watched half of season 12 and found myself more pissed off than entertained.
