I've just found this article about Futurama on The Independent, a UK newspaper. It comments on the changes in Futurama reflecting the changes in society in general.

I'm hoping it gets better. The last time they got canceled and came back they made a few jokes about it then moved on. This time it seemed to be a whole episode focused on the joke.

Are they still the most educated writing staff on TV? IIRC the original writing staff had a bunch of PhD peeps.

I noticed the same thing! It seems like Hulu was really keen on making the first episode all about Hulu, which was annoying and a big red flag for me. Last time I remember they made a "we're back on a new channel" joke it was a bit more subtle and all of 15 seconds long. This new episode just felt like one long eternalized ad.
