It definitely was not some sort of total tanking or anything.&lt;p&gt;In fact, I&amp;#x27;d call it the only case I&amp;#x27;ve ever seen of trying to &amp;quot;bring the band back together&amp;quot; that &lt;i&gt;largely&lt;/i&gt; succeeded. Not 100%, no, but they did much better than average.&lt;p&gt;That said, when the show ended for the last time, I was satisfied.</text><parent_chain><item><author>the_af</author><text>How I loved Futurama!

It’s one of the few shows that I can really rewatch the whole thing start to finish. I like the series more as it goes on.&lt;p&gt;IMDB ratings seem to agree with your sentiment (7ish out of 10 opposed to the 8ish of earlier seasons). But watching through the series start to finish I didn’t notice any drop in how much enjoyment I derived from the show. I definitely don’t think it will taint your memory.&lt;p&gt;And as another sibling post said, the send-off episode always tugs at my heart.&lt;p&gt;I’d recommend finishing the series if you enjoyed the earlier seasons.</text><parent_chain><item><author>the_af</author><text>How I loved Futurama!
