The acclaimed adult cartoon has been brought back from the dead – and not for the first time. It’s never going to recapture the brilliance of the original run, writes Louis Chilton, but the series’ stop-start history has made it a compelling record of changing cultural obsessions

I’ve just found this article about Futurama on The Independent, a UK newspaper. It comments on the changes in Futurama reflecting the changes in society in general.

    They had ads in streaming before anyone else. Netflix and (I think) Disney copied them, but they were first. I’ll never give them money.

      @some_guy @BettyWhiteInHD the ads are very important to Disney /Hulu. I subscribed to ESPN+ and added the Disney/Hulu bundle. It’s the adverts Disney. It turns out Disney won’t air the adverts package on Roku, only the no ads streaming channel. Which implies the two companies probably had a argument about who gets the advertising revenue. We had to go to the smart TV to watch the adverts Disney.

        No, I think I should pay a price and not get ads. If it has to cost more, so be it. Ads are to be avoided at all costs. They offer me no value.
