As announced late last week and relayed by Comedy Central and ourselves on twitter, the Futurama season 7a(or whatever you'd like to call it!) premiere will be on Wednesday June 20th at 10pm on Comedy Central.
As with the past 2 seasons it will open with a double bill of episodes. They are The Bots and the Bees by Eric Horsted, in which Bender fathers a child with a drinks machine, and A Farewell to Arms by Josh Weinstein in which an ancient prophecy predicts the end of the world...

Hey meatbags,
A little exclusive here on CGEF today(actually I put it up a week ago for any eagle eyed fans who spotted the page). I managed to bribe the Scruffy the Janitor at Futurama and get hold of all the episode titles, writer and director credits for the upcoming 13 episode season, starting June on Comedy Central.
Have a favourite writer or director? Want to speculate on what an episode title tells us about the episode?
Well it's all here on the new production season 7 episode page!
NOTE: All credits and titles are subject to change... |

Here's a little something you can all help with.
Nominations are open for the next stars on Canadas Walk of Fame and one legend would be great to see there.
The Late, Great Phil Hartman
Hartman for those who don't know was born in Ontario and was a fantastic comedian who made his name in great roles on NewsRadio, SNL and of course as Lionel Huts & Troy McClure on The Simpsons. He was due to play the role of our favourite starship captain, Zapp Brannigan before he tragically passed away.
Anyone can vote just go here to do so and get Phil in his rightful place amongst the rest of Canada's greats!

A bit late getting this onto the site, although we've mentioned it on Twitter, but Eric Rogers was last week nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for animation for his full debut script 'The Silence of the Clamps'
Take a look at the other nominees here.
Everyone at CGEF wishes Eric huge congratulations on the nomination and best of luck for the final award which will announced on Feb 19th.
Also, Futurama bagged 2 Annie Award nominations last week! One for Paul Calder in Editing and one for Josh Weinstein for writing the episode 'All the Presidents Heads'. The award ceremony is on February 4th so best of luck to both Paul and Josh! Thoroughly deserved!
More info is here. |
