It really wasn't bad. I liked how they recalled the tear-squishing ending of the last season and picked up immediately in the same scene. I was a bit afraid they would something like "ohhhh, somehow futurama returned. " and yet they went with the setup the writers left 10 years ago and it worked.

I liked the meta aspect of it, it was very futurama and anyone who says its bad is wrong or prolly doesn't remember or has never watched the show before. However it felt a bit much halfway through the episode. I think this should have been a short sequence of jokes or one 5 minutes long scene at most; did not have to make an entire episode around the show rebooting after a decade. Yes, we get it: it's funny how it got cancelled and rebooted so many times by so many different networks.

Having said that though, I honestly expected worse and have high hopes for the remaining 19 episodes.
