I've just found this article about Futurama on The Independent, a UK newspaper. It comments on the changes in Futurama reflecting the changes in society in general.

The satirical show has to change with the times. It's true. Some of the jokes do get dated. It's hard to write ageless satire. Satire only exists inside of a context. Which is time-bound.

I'm hopeful they're going to find a nice stride this season. The first episode seemed like a rehash of previous ideas. I'm looking forward to some deep satire and thinking coming forward

Everytime I see headlines about documenting periods with TV productions the Simpson kick in.

A single blue collar income capable of buying a house, two cars and food for a family of 6.

Did not realize it was a fantasy show.
