[Shadow Demon UK]

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

I might go back and watch the films again, i've read the first episode of the new season carries on from the last film.

You can buy the complete box set, i've got it and would definately recommend it :tu:

[Tezcatlipoca]

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

[Damien]

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]

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.

[Hiroki]

Can't wait for the new series.

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

[Paul]

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

[Stephen]

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

[Paul]

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

[Shadow Demon UK]

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

[cimt]

Hahaha, loved the third episode! :D So many excellent references.

[Graham M]

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

[Kymmy]

Comedy Central Thursdays 10pm EST ;)

[Graham M]

Ah so not on in the UK yet ? :p

[Paul]

That would be why the prefix is US Timeline ;)

[Kymmy]

I think there's a cryo-stasis pod somewhere with Graham's name on it. Graham can you deliver this pizza and six pack to this address please!!! :D

[Ravenheart]

episode 3 was great :) so good to have it back (again)

[Hiroki]

Anybody been watching this then????

It's had a few stinking episodes (like the first episode and the cats one) but it's been pretty decent overall :D

[Kymmy]

I liked the mind swap one :)

[Paul]

I really liked the robot evolution one - in fact ive watched it twice.

[Kymmy]

The forwards time machine one was good as well :D

[Ravenheart]

I've really enjoyed the series so far including the cat one. The time machine and Robo evolution being my faves so far

[Hiroki]

The robot evolution was a decent one

[Paul]

Indeed it was.

I've really enjoyed the series so far including the cat one. The time machine and Robo evolution being my faves so far
The cat one was ok I guess, but Robo Evolution, Time Machine and Mind Swap are my three favorites so far.

Only three more left in this series :(

[Kymmy]

Yep, three more then we'll have to put up with Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad and Cleveland Brown shows instead... Oh what a hard life we live :D

[Paul]

The final [13th] ep of Season 6 was on the other day - I havent seen it yet, but its sitting on my player ready.

[Kymmy]

Personally I wouldn't bother with it, in fact we turned it off about half way through :(

[Shadow Demon UK]

For those that don't know (like me until just now) the series started up again a few weeks ago in the US. Theres been 4 episodes since its break in November with another 8 still to come.

[Paul]

Season 8 of Futurama will premiere on Hulu on July 24th.

[ Hulu being idiots, have somehow managed to decide its Season 11 ! ]

[admars]
