    I was super excited when it was announced it would come back on comedy central, and would include the original cast. But so far I think it's been a big disappointment.

    Kind of like when Ren and Stimpy came back on Spike TV (or TNN whatever it was). It was funny originally, but then they went a little too much into the subtle adult jokes

    No. I don't think it has changed a bit. Just like the original episodes, the new ones are funnier the more you watch them. I have enjoyed every new episodes so far.

    I didn't like the movies, but I think the new episodes are a return to form.

    I think they've been fantastic. The Richard Nixon "Despair" poster parody of Obama's "Hope" poster busted me up. And anything with Zap Brannigan and Leila is comedic gold.

    new ones have been just OK so far for me. not horrible but kind of meh, particularly the first new one.

    i will say each successive one has been better which is encouraging. last night was almost starting to feel like old times.

    i like the first 2 movies (BBS, beast) way more than new eps so far. bender's game was OK. wild green yonder does nothing for me for some reason.

    Agreed. It's all the little things that make the show so funny. Like last night's episode, when they were at the tornado planet and a house gets sucked up and it has Bender's face painted on the side of it, I cracked up.
