What has Matt Groening just done for a check? Maybe he stopped paying attention to the Simpsons, but that's because he was making Futurama, the greatest animated show ever.

Anyway, I loved B & B when I was a kid, but I have a bad feeling about it.

It is apparent to me and my family and some of my friends that like the Simpsons that he kind of stopped paying attention to it around season 9 or 10. There was a serious decline after season 8 imho. The best seasons of them all imo were the Conan O'Brien seasons (1-5 or thereabouts). The last 5 or 6 seasons have been nigh unwatchable (although I still watched them hoping for a renaissance, but it ain't happening).

And Futurama has something about it that makes it great. It tends to the stupid more than the Simpsons did but I think it is edgier and has more interesting characters with more depth than the Simpsons. Of course that is part of what made seasons 1-8 great on the Simpson is they were still filling out the characters and they still did stuff you didn't expect. After that they just became stereotypes of themselves. Hope that does not happen to Futurama.
 
I don't think the old Beavis and Buttheads stand the test of time. I did like them back in the day. I might try out an episode or two of the new one.
 
Yeah I guess they are soundalikes not the originals. Too bad.
 
How can this fail? With as much crap there is for them to bag on it will be Epic.. from Jersey Shore to Kardashian it will be comedy.
 
Mike Judge is still doing the voices for each one. I noticed a slight difference in Beavis' voice but it's not that bad IMO and is probably just due to Judge's voice slightly changing over the last decade or whatever it's been since they were on the air.

The few promos and sneak previews I've seen have been hilarious. With no shortage of horried "reality" shows to mock and with the ability to use viral media to their advantage, this show may actually be bigger this time around.
 
Strike 1. I think I laughed 3 times total. That's not good. Considering the show was only like 15 minutes if you DVR skip all the commercials, I think I need a solid laugh every 2-3 mintues to continue watching.

(I don't actually keep track of my laughs, the point is it wasn't funny)
