Futurama suffered in my own estimation the way the two Matrix sequels suffered in almost everyone else's: it isn't bad, but it's not as amazingly perfectly amazing as its antecedant. I don't know if Futurama is mediocre, but it's just nowhere near the Simpsons. Futurama's jokes are generally not as good and they never will be.
I was "meh" on this show until it started on Adult Swim and was therefore on in the background every weeknight. I fell in with the vibe of the characters and (especially) the setting and now I love it. There are still dud jokes, but they make up for it with the good ones.
Plus, it's gorgeous. It's all eye candy. I'm psyched for more.
"Woo-hoo, November 27th!"

As much as I've complained about Futurama's mediocrity, I'm really happy to hear about this.
