Disclaimer: I am aware that there is one other topic currently active. However, this topic merely focuses on the reception, from viewers, of the new episodes.
I can get past the new voices for the characters, for the most part, but the clever factor from the original Fox-developed episodes is missing. The humor is more like South Park than the clever original Futurama episodes. You can clearly tell that they are still trying to emulate the clever-ness from the original episodes, but there is far too much new vulgar material to make it "as" good as the original series. They have also shortened the title-theme and removed the "cartoon-gag" from the opening. Overall, Futurama remains a cult class-ic, but the new episodes really don't do the original episodes justice.
It's a good thing that an original episode, one of my favorites, was on afterwards. The episode, Obsoletely Fabulous, was on. It reminded me of the clever-ness of the original series. Example: Bender makes a boat out of a "Boating Prohibited" sign.
