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.

Zeitgeist / Hegel.

He argued that art reflects the culture of the time in which it was created.

Suspect this is especially true for larger productions, where you have numerous people influencing the production, writers, producers, actors, the studio, director, etc.

Star Trek is the same way. Look at the newer series and how many of them reflect contemporary issues.
