Futurama starts a week tomorrow, i can't wait!

Oh... I'd forgotten about the new ones

**Damien** · 16-06-2010, 23:30

These are not the films spilt up again? Totally new episodes?

Although I thought the films where a big drop in quality from the series (which i think itself started to drop towards the end)

Tezcatlipoca · 16-06-2010, 23:32

Totally new. The feature length episodes, & general DVD sales, were successful enough for it to get a new series

No, they are totally new episodes.

I agree about the films, hopefully a return to shorter epsidoes will help.

Can't wait for the new series.

Those films were disappointing but I have faith that this will be a return to form

Just watched the first new ep - weird, but good.

Oddly the 2 episodes available are listed as season 6. Seems they aren't counting the movies as a series?

**Paul** · 23-06-2010, 15:45

There is some dispute about the season numbering from season 3 / 4 due to differing production and broadcast schedules - but looking at wikipedia, they seem to be using 1-4 for the originals, then 5 for the films, and 6 for the latest series - so I guess we should stick with that. Title amended

I thought the two new episodes were great, back to their best after the movies!

Hahaha, loved the third episode!

So many excellent references.

Umm I missed this entirely, what channel is it showing on and when?
