Good news, everyone! The September challenge is gonna be Futurama themed!

Having existed (on and off) for several decades at this point, the “Present” relative to Futuramas “future” has shifted quite a bit and though the series often seems to operate within its own little world, it will also make an effort to lampoon Current Events…give or take a production cycle for an animated sitcom.

So todays prompt is, what are the best /worst instances of Futurama being “topical”? Should it even try to be?

Bonus prompt: How would you have Futurama tackle an ever-shifting present?

Cancellation Bonus prompt: Any lampooned events that felt flat, but really had potential?

Revival Bonus Prompt: Any IRL tech developments you’d like to see the series lampoon?
