There are so few shows out there that come back from being cancelled even fewer that come back from being cancelled two or more times. Well one of those shows is now back once again with new episodes which does make this show one of the very few shows that are the little shows that could as no matter how many times they get knocked down they just keep on coming back for more and so then join me as I review the episode that sees the Planet Express crew tackle the world of streaming with the episode in question being called simply just "The Impossible Stream" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is after realizing he's been in the future for ten years and doesn't have a life goal Fry sets about watching every TV show ever made. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being really enjoyable and really ridiculous but in a good way in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is the great Billy West as Philip J. Fry , Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth and Dr. John A. Zoidberg. Also starring in this episode is the great Katey Sagal as Turanga Leela , the great John DiMaggio as Bender Bending Rodriguez , the great Phil LaMarr as Hermes Conrad , Lauren Tom as Amy Wong , the great Maurice LaMarche as The Scary Mirror Narrator , Calculon and Morbo , the great Tress MacNeille as Smiri and Linda Van Schoonhoven , David Herman as Scruffy and the great Dan Castellaneta as Robot Devil.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which isn't all the surprising given that alot of this episodes cast members have been playing these characters since 1999 and so they would of course turn in a good performance as they would know what performance would best fit the character in any given scene.
Doing the animation not only for this episode but possibly the show as a whole is Rough Draft Studios, INC and Rough Draft Korea. Now then interms if what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty alot better then what it really had any right to be even tho this show has always had some really good animation to it the show itself isn't really known for it's quality animation.
This is about the third or maybe even fourth time that this show has been brought back from being cancelled. With the show being picked up and cancelled so many times that it's hard to believe that anybody else would pick this show up but alas here we are and this little show which by all rights should have been long dead by now is not only still going strong but is thriving thanks to it's very passionate fanbase who got so upset when it was first announced that John DiMaggio wasn't coming back that Hulu pretty much had to give John DiMaggio the role back again even tho he didn't get the pay rise that he requested.
Futurama from what I can remember about it has always been a pretty timeless show and that timelessness does seem to still be a thing with this episode. With the writing team only updating what it is that they take shots at but still taking shots at anyone and everyone and while this episode does seem tame by the standards of their other episodes when this episode truly gets bonkers and insane is where it also gets to be the most fun but I would have liked it if we had some character moments just to give us a reason to keep on coming back to watch the rest of the new episodes.
According to the shows official press release this season of the show will be very for new viewers to pick up. Which I don't think is true as just by this episode alone there are alot of questions that a newcomer to the franchise would ask and all of which are answered in previous episodes which is a shame because this show has the opportunity to attract a new fanbase that will hopefully keep it going but it's something that I can't really see it doing just due to how difficult it is for possible new fans to keep up with the plot of the show.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty four minuets and thirty one seconds. Which was a tad bit on the short side as this episode did have quite alot of things to set up and I dont really think that it could do all of that and still a really good story at the same time with even it's central take on streaming feeling really underdeveloped and just there for the sake of the plot needing some drama and nothing more then that and this episode isn't helped by it's really fast pacing either with the episode just rushing from plot point tom plot point.
So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episodes satire being painfully funny with every single one of this episodes jokes not only landing but landing hard and landing often as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this episode is not the return of a classic animated series but it's also a return to form with the show still being as good and as relevant as it ever was and ever will be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does infact mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Futurama fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
