Do you think younger generations will enjoy Futurama (both new/upcoming episodes and older content)? (lemmy.world)

I don't know about you all, but I consider myself to belong in the GenX population. Most of my younger coworkers have maybe heard about Futurama but have never seen it. So many of the references and jokes relate to older pop culture. I am hoping some of the new episodes will be relatable to GenZ and beyond. What are your thoughts?

I think there is a magical aspect of Futurama that is truly timeless.

Sit someone down who has never seen the show and make them watch Jurassic Bark. Every time I’ve done it the person is tearing up by the end.

Very few shows have the ability to resonate with their audience like that. Especially animated ones.
