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?

Hard to say how that will work out with streaming nowadays. I grew up as an older millenial with things like MAS*H reruns and other shows that ended before I was born. With only a couple of channels on broadcast TV, I only had so many choices. I imagine availability on popular streaming services will have the potential of similar effects, but somewhat less.
