One got cancelled while it was still good

Newer Futurama seasons, those after the movies, sucked hard though.
Movies are hit and miss.

This. They weren't even watchable. Futurama had a solid 6 seasons. Simpsons had 10 or so. You can only do so much before things become stale

Writers changed.

Eh, I wouldn't say that they sucked, but they were certainly more hit and miss than the original series.

They weren't up to the level of the originals, but they were hardly bad.

There are some true classics in those last two seasons.

The setting is just more creative. Each episode can be new and draw on different concepts. It's why Star Trek never gets old, where family sitcoms are constantly mocked for being monotone.

That's what I thought when it started, but usually it just ended up making contemporary pop culture references with sitcom-tier New York jokes
