How I loved Futurama! Much like with the Simpsons, it will helpfully provide a quote for anything , and its hyper focus on scifi and adventure made it more interesting to me. Though I'm a fan of the first "age", before the movie(s) and cancellation. I heard bad things about the later seasons, and don't want to taint my memories of the show by watching them.

The final was just amazingly beautiful, I'd recommend you watch it anyways :)

All the quotes are in pictures with the alt text being only the number of the episode. Online accessibility at its best.

And why do tell us, should somebody who is donating their time making something silly, jump through some hoops to live up to your standards?

Please send the web master a list of every alt text before you try and make it someone else's problem or complain about it.

The average may have trended down, but the variance went up, and some of the best episodes are in the later seasons.

I'd suggest looking at episode ratings or something and cherry-picking. It definitely was not some sort of total tanking or anything.

In fact, I'd call it the only case I've ever seen of trying to "bring the band back together" that largely succeeded. Not 100%, no, but they did much better than average.

That said, when the show ended for the last time, I was satisfied.

This is not the way to get people on board with accessibility. Open a PR and fix the issue or come up with ways to make accessibility an easier branch to reach or more common knowledge.

In college, we actually did the "Drink when you see the robot" game with that episode on a fairly regular basis.

They intentionally made a ton of scenes with Bender entering/exiting frame such that anyone seriously following the rule would be hammered before the episode was over.

Through multiple watches, I've come to really like Bender's Big Score and The Beast with a Billion Backs. They are very different than the normal 22 minute episodes, but they have a lot of depth that you don't normally get in regular episodes.

The later seasons have few worthwhile episodes, notably:

* S6 - EP7 - The Late Philip J. Fry * S7 - EP26 - Meanwhile (Series Finale)

That said, I agree with you, most of my favorite episodes are from the first four seasons.
