Futurama, should have the subtitle as above Matt Groening.

Now that the show is back in production...

Do we need the "Do not change to 'was'" note?--CreecregofLife (talk) 18:40, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

It's a hidden comment - no need to remove it as it will become relevant when the show is cancelled again. Barry Wom (talk) 09:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Fair enough, thank you--CreecregofLife (talk) 06:07, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Adult sitcom?

Should we make the show an "adult animated" sitcom in the lead section? RapMonstaXY (talk) 10:50, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

I think there's an argument to be made for it by looking at the age ratings. On Amazon Prime in the USA, two of the seasons are rated TV-14. In the UK, most seasons are rated 12 and a few episodes are rated 15 (meaning they cannot be legally rented or purchased by anyone under 16). So it's certainly not a children's show. Barry Wom (talk) 11:13, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Given the various nude scenes and the depictions of the characters' sex lives, I am not that surprised it is not a children's show. Dimadick (talk) 13:38, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

To classify it as an adult sitcom if sources have not explicitly described it as such seems problematic to me. If teenagers can watch the show (TV-14 doesn't preclude all minors), is it really an adult sitcom? More to the point though, is it necessary to describe it as such? I'm not sure what problem emphasizing that it's an adult sitcom solves? DonIago (talk) 17:28, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Call me crazy, but...

I believe I read somewhere that the 2023 season was a "One more season to wrap up the show" type thing. Am I mistaken? It doesn't seem to be reflected in the article. Americanfreedom (talk) 18:12, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
