Coincidentally a day or so before this community was created, myself and my husband started a rewatch from the beginning.

We’ve been together for about ten and a half years at this point, and he’s always been if not enthusiastic then at least supportive of my constant references. Visits to the angry dome, regular notch up-knocking with my spice weasel, you know the drill. For a while we were even in a World of Warcraft guild together called Fighting Mongooses, I mean come on.

Well, it is with great despair that I report in today. It turns out as of this rewatch, he finally thought it time to let me know…he doesn’t think Futurama is actually that great. Ok, acceptable to watch, but not great.

A suspiciously…neutral…opinion if you ask me.

I don’t know what to do with this information.

    My wife has absolutely no interest, The kids will watch it with me on occasion, which is hilarious because they start to see where most of my weird sayings and jokes come from.

    My best example of this, The other week my young teenager sent me a link to a company doing lab groom meat that claimed to be making a woolly mammoth meatball. I immediately put on fun on a bun and they were riveted for 26 minutes.

    The only thing you can count on to be consistent is change.

    I loved a lot of TV shows when I was younger that I still have fond memories of but can no longer rewatch.

    Well it’s hard to say, that would require a use of the “What If” machine to see what could happen as a result of his Neutrality.

    Does he at least suffer from a very sexy learning disability? That might explain why you are with him and also why he doesn’t like the show.

    My wife is the same way, she doesn’t dislike it at all, just doesn’t love it. That will never stop me from requesting death by Snu-Snu.

      You know, I’ve not been able to watch that episode since the very first time back when it came out. But I’m determined to be brave this time around, so I guess we’ll find out soon!

    Neutrality is linked to low testosterone. Might be in the beginning stages of impotency.
