minus-squarechaogomu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·22 minutes agoA bucket list is usually “a list of things to do before you die” i.e. kick the bucket. I can see how your use is correct, but it also doesn’t feel right, which is 90% of language. To my ear, saying that Futurama is simply “on the list” just sounds better. Another option would be saying that the show is in your backlog. But, use bucket list enough, and sooner or later that will sound correct. Because that’s also how language works.
