There appears to be a collective disdain toward reboots in films and television, yet, at this point, Hollywood is locked into the format. Creators are reviving some of their most precious and well-…
The Hulu reboot of Matt Groening’s ‘Futurama’ is brillant but newcomers may feel alienated.
I think series 4, 6 and 7 are all considered two series each in the US due to the way they broadcast them. I know the classic runs boxsets only reached series 4 in the UK then one for the films.
As an Futurama addict, did I miss a few seasons? This is season 8 right?
Broadcast order vs production order weirdness.

Tbh I’m not sure. That’s what this upcoming season is being labeled as

Depends on whether we go by broadcast or production numbering. Some production seasons got spread out across two broadcast seasons.

You can switch between all the different possible orders and season breakdowns and not make Hulu Season #11.
By broadcast, the first 4 produced seasons were broadcast as 5 seasons with weird breaks (Typical Fox).
Example, season 1 was produced as 13 episodes, Fox aired 9 episodes, then aired the last 4 episodes of season 1 as the first of season 2.
This is the reason why Plex season 2 episode descriptions are off by about 4 episodes if you ripped your DVDs but play them through Plex.
The fox run ends with “The Devils hands are idle playthings”
The Comedy Central run starts with “Rebirth”
Between the two there were 4 movies which are broken down into 16 episodes for broadcast.
I can’t make it make sense…
4 Fox (production) seasons + 1 season with the 4 movies + 3 Comedy Central Seasons = 8 pre Hulu seasons making the Hulu season #9
Hulu season is #8 if you don’t count the DVD season
Hulu Season is #9 if with Fox 5 aired seasons + DVD + 3x CC
Counting each DVD as a season (which seems very wrong) makes it either 12 or 13.
