"Define "Trying too hard""

Bender's Big Score

One of the great things about the original series was how (I don't want to say subtle, so let's say) unobtrusive the jokes were. Very intelligent jokes, requiring a degree of thought as you watched, like a M*A*S*H or The Office. This reworked version of Futurama is too over the top, like almost every 80's sitcom ever, i.e. Benson and Different Strokes, going for the quickest, easiest joke, so that one feels stupider for ever watching.
