Two lines of the song are sung by the inmate Murphy in the 1992 film Alien 3 immediately prior to his death. Brief snippets are played in "The Time Is Now", the second-season finale of the TV show Millennium, which depicts an apocalyptic event. The song was rewritten and used as the introductory theme for the 2000 TV series Cleopatra 2525. In 2010, it was parodied as "In the Year 252525" in the seventh episode of Futurama's sixth season, "The Late Philip J. Fry", as Fry, Professor Farnsworth and Bender travel forwards through time to find a period in which the backwards time machine has been invented.[18] The song acts as an aesthetic theme to the film Gentlemen Broncos.[19] The BBC Radio series 2525, a sketch show set in the year 2525, featured a cover of the song with its first lyric as its introductory theme.
Bahahaha I got a friend to watch the first few episodes of that not too long ago, specifically because of the song. I hadn’t seen it since it was on late night tv.
It’s so much worse than I remember, like they were trying to shoot a porn but forgot the actual sex part.
Not the really old stuff; 90s-today mostly. That one just slipped through my memory cracks for a long long time, and my memories were far fonder than it deserved.
And she might be in other stuff, but I’ve not found it. I did find Lori petty in an episode of Star Trek, can’t even see her face for most of it.
Maybe because I’m not really into the “might as well be porn” genre of stuff (watched xena, Hercules, beast master, andromeda, and cleopatra 2525 as late night shit when I was a pre-teen, but I’m asexual and not into horny and never have been so I was into the storyline bad as it was), and thus unlikely to encounter her.
After the last laughable abomination of a season that was definitely not even close to what Futurama should be, bringing it back again to ruin it even further is a joke at this point.
Stop Simpsonizing shows by dragging them out over a billion seasons.
People actually thought it was pretty good. I was kinda shocked how bad it was. Started watching it when it aired, i still haven't watched more than 4 episodes and i doubt i will ever watch more.
I'm surprised it got another season. I'm not sure if there was any episode I'd call good (or even decent) from season 11. While I've watched the series multiple times, I don't see myself watching this next season.
For the new season it took me about a year to power through it, but I doubt I'll ever watch it again. It doesn't mean I don't want to watch the older seasons though.
It's broadcast seasons vs how many purchases ("episode orders") were made. Fox aired 5 but paid for 4 (held back some episodes), then the movies, Comedy Central aired across 4 seasons but made 2 episode orders, and now Hulu split their first order across 2 aired seasons.
Aired: 5 Fox, 1 movies, 4 CC, 2 Hulu -> season 12.
Orders: 4 Fox, 1 movies, 2 CC, 1 Hulu -> Season 8.
(Hulu made a second episode order already, but since that wouldn't start until at least next year I didn't count it. Assuming it's split again, it'll be seasons 13+14 or 9.)
That's a weak defense of the season. The thing that made a lot of the classic episodes classics is that they are more or less timeless. If releasing the episode a year or two later means it's not going to land well, then they should be rethinking the writing.
A great example is the iPhone episode. Its a bad episode because the premise was hardly interesting even when it was relevant, and it hasn't aged well at all.
There were a few good episodes, the Santa time travel one, the multiverse one, the mom Corp one. I liked the dune one even though it's got mixed reactions.
That episode 9 was a fucking train wreck, however.
I thought the newest season was okay. Not as good as pre-season 6, which I expected, but better than a lot of the previous reboot episodes, which I didn't expect.
Honestly my biggest gripe with the show as it stands is that a lot of the current events references (e.g. Amazon, Bitcoin) are a bit on the nose.
