Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

New Episode Galore on FOX

The weekly episode outlook is a bit early this time, but who'd mind:

June 1st: New Futurama "The Sting"
June 8th: New Futurama "The Farnsworth Parabox"
June 15th: New Futurama "Three Hundred Big Boys"

So, watch, watch, watch and then rewatch them. There are only so many more to look forward to.

The extended descriptions are already available for all of them (click the links). Thanks go to Brian at thefutoncritic who forwarded these to me.

Do you think Fox on the east coast will still 'override' these episodes? I wonder if the running and jumping beasts will make another apperance in the 7:00 pm time slot? I'm just glad we have been under rain clouds since March and will continue to be or I'd miss these episodes.

Is there any chance that fox may bring back futurama if these few episodes do good.Im a big fan and fox is stupid to let such a good and creative show pass them by. And if they do they should sell it to another network.
JUNOMay 29th 2003, 00:00
sounds good but farnworths pardox sounds stupid though. i mean if their trying to save futurama they have to mshow the good episodes

I think it's a bit premature for you to judge it JUNO

I can't wait to see them.
SchmorpheusMay 29th 2003, 00:00
omg 3 episode in a row,no worry fox will probably preempt 2 of them,for a king of the hill repeat or something.

JUNO, You need to listen to stat. DOn't go criticezing the episodes until you'e seen 'em. The same thing happened to Jurrasic Bark and hen a buch of people loved it.

Brett's correct. We need another sociopathic troll around here about as much as we need Gail Berman. Here's a quick guide for drooling idiots:

Step 1: Watch the episode
Step 2: Decide if you like it or hate it

Try NOT skipping Step 1.

I'm just glad they are finally showing new ones. I'm still ticked off that cartoon network has censored them, but I'll never get over that!

Good News Everybody!
...more like SHOCKING

its 2AM on the east coast and i just saw a commercial for the fox summer sunday line-up. Not only did they go out of their way to actually say "Futurama at 7:00" but they actually showed a 2 second clip!!! its obviously waay too late to advertise for the show but it would be nice if we could ban together and slap some results in their face (if these episode rate better). Peace, Love, and Hookers... YoungHov116

Hope these new episodes are shown in the UK soon

Is there a chance anyone else will pick up futurama and produce new episodes?
Futurama_HilMay 30th 2003, 00:00
That's so cool YoungHov (yeah, go east coast!). I don't care what these eps are going to be about, I just really want to see them! I also hope Fox will finally figure out how good Futurama ratings are and make new ones, so everyone, WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the "Three Hundred Big Boys" episode, I think it would be great if the Arachnid homeworld is called "Klendathu" ...

I think "Three Hundred Big Boys" may hold the ultimate clue behind FOX's treatment of "Futurama."

(1) Bear in mind, FOX is the home of Bill O'Reilly and assorted propagandists and cheerleaders for the current White House administration.
(2) "Three Hundred Big Boys" is the story of an incredibly evil Republican president--one who wages needless, bloody wars on the basis of lies (both in the past and in the future, as seen in "War Is The H Word" and probably this episode)--who causes chaos with an ill-advised, self-serving $300 tax "refund."
(3) Zapp Brannigan destroys a certain "homeworld" in this episode. Say the first two syllables of "arachnid" out loud.

"Futurama." It's not just funny--it's prophecy. Was it too 'dangerous' to keep in production?
AndrewMay 31st 2003, 00:00
Comment #15 has very good points, also to Juno (#3) but you both have to bear in mind that these episodes were created probably about a year ago, animation is a long process, and each episode inlcudes conception ... /producing which, like the simpsons take about 6-8 minths per episode ...so these were written and made way before any war, and before they knew they were going to be cancelled for good. The fact that these episodes are showing now is Fox's fault.

I STINK

He doesn't have a horrible track record

2ACV11 - How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back
3ACV11 - Insane in the Mainframe
3ACV03 - A Tale of two Santas
3ACV18 - Anthology Of Interest II ('I, Meatbag' )
4ACV01 - Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch
4ACV15 - The Farnsworth Parabox
[-mArc-]May 31st 2003, 00:00
Yeah, Meatbag is by Morton. Was accidently added one writer too high in our list. Fixed that now.
AjshaMay 31st 2003, 00:00
Maybe it is time for this show to go... I love it to death, but it kills me a little bit more every time it gets pre-empted. This must be what hell is like.
DrMarvinMonroeMay 31st 2003, 00:00
Well now that it's cancelled FOX seems to be promoting FUTURAMA more and more. If only they did this earlier this season, maybe more people would've realised it was on. The first promo was on last night for FOX Sunday and included a "bit" on FUTURAMA and just tonight during COPS end credits a voice over promo "told" us to watch a new FUTURAMA tomorrow.

Then I again I realise these will be the last new FUTURAMA's to air and I feel like a victim of a suicide booth gone awry.
PookyClownMay 31st 2003, 00:00
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!This is the coolest and weirdest episode yet!!!!
someguywhohatesfoxJun 1st 2003, 00:00
cherish these most likely final episodes i love this part in family guy where these tv executives are sitting during a meeting talking about tv shows and one of them goes we need something fresh and original and the head guy takes a picture off the wall and constantly smashes it over that guys head until he hits the floor dead than contiunes to kick and hit him with it, that i think was a take at fox

Bring up the review post for The Sting, it's time to review!!!
[-mArc-]Jun 1st 2003, 00:00
It's time to review it once it aired in the USA. We don't want people to be spoiled here. Please be patient.
ZombieZoidburgJesusJun 2nd 2003, 00:00
Has anyone else noticed that they seem to be passing over all the bender episodes? (Bender Shouldn't Be Allowed on TV, Bend Her and Absolutely Fabulous) Any explanation???
