I'm a good chunk through a full rewatch, and early budget issues aside, there's not a single episode of this show that isn't completely on point. I would be willing to say there's a level of consistent high quality here rivaling that of original Futurama, but without a later set of episodes to stink up the pot like that had.

I never watched the last 2 or 3 seasons and I feel like I should because up to the point I stopped it was indeed one of the most consistently high quality shows I'd ever seen.

Recently rewatched the whole thing with my gf who is new to the show, it's nuts how much was hinted at SUPER early on and how literally nothing goes to waste in the show.

if you haven't read it I really would recommend the artbook, probably the most insightful, comprehensive art book I've ever read

And the thing is, it does change things up pretty drastically. It doesn't just sit on what it knows best and repeat ad nauseum, yet it all feels unified.

The Monarch was the protag of the most recent season, for God's sake.

I wish it came out more regularly and consistently and in a place where more people are able to watch. not everyone has cable anymore (especially the core demographic) and a lot of people don't watch TV that late anymore I think.

Like Gravity Falls I don't think it airs consistently enough to build up a gigantic fanbase. also you need to be up-to-date to get all the heavy lore stuff and really appreciate it which is kind of hard at this point if you don't have all the DVDs.

I haven't watched it in several years and did a Hulu run

I stopped because apparently they had a movie\TV Special that ran for an hour or so inbetween two seasons and Hulu didn't have it, I hear important stuff happened in it so I didn't want to skip it

Hulu has that episode, it's just listed as the first episode of season 6 instead of as a special.

It really is incredible. The only things in the show that have aged poorly are the early animation, some of the jokes (looking at you Sergeant Hatred), and the relative lack of good women characters. That outs it as a product of the 2000s but everything else is WAY ahead of its time and with consistent quality. Easy top 3 animated show for sure.

Just finished, looks like "new" episodes hit in a week or so on Hulu, and I couldn't be more excited. What an absolute joy of a series. The consistency is constant but the actual material and presentation is always evolving. It's dumb as hell while being smart as hell, and the lore is so vital and used to such ludicrous extent.

I'd say this is an all time great in the realm of western animated series, and maybe the top of the mountain for adult comedy in that frame.

Season 7 is out.

3 episodes in and the amount of lore fanservice and callbacks here are possibly the most I have ever seen in a piece of fiction. The amount of groundwork that was laid is STAGGERING L.

I haven't seen it since season 4 and I don't know why I stopped because it was consistently amazing.
