Welcome, to the WORLD OF TOMORROW!!! Futurama, quite possibly the most intelligently written cartoon of all time, and Matt Groening's love child of the late 30th and now into the 31st century was, as executive producer David X. Cohen put it, RUDELY CANCELLED in 2003 by Fox. I hope I don't have to list the characters and voices to all of you who should know by now the brilliance of this cast and superb list of writers that work on this show. But Good News everyone! The fools who fired our favourite space delivery crew were themselves fired for incompetence. And not just fired, but beaten up too, and pretty badly...in fact, most of them died from their injuries.  In any case, even though some may disagree with me, and believe that the show had lived its life, it is widely accepted as a very positive thing that Futurama has returned to us for a sixth season after releasing 4 feature length straight to DVD movies (at least three of them quite controversial) the show is no longer with Fox, but has become a program on the Comedy Central channel "How humorous!"  Whether you like the new ones or hate them, the widely stated opinion is that new Futurama is better than no Futurama. And there continues to be new Futurama for a sixth season, whose first thirteen episodes aired starting June 24th 2010. Mixed opinions on these forums followed, with general appeal and exuberant quoting. Those episodes are now available on DVD, I have yet to buy this, but cannot wait to listen to those commentaries. I would ask that any special feature content from the DVDs of season 6 be placed in spoilers for those who just haven't had the time or money to purchase and watch them yet. The premiere of the second half of the sixth season will be a double feature! And is scheduled to air on Comedy Central on June 23rd 2011! There is some information online as to the plots of these episodes, and even a 40 second clip of the first new episode, which you may view at your risk. Please be discreet and discrete when discussing spoilers. 40 seconds of the premiere! http://io9.com/5812331/exclusive-clip-from-futuramas-season-opener One of the greatest things about this show in the opinion of THIS gross, ugly, smelly loser is that it maintains canon unlike nearly any other animated sitcom. It's not quite Dragon Ball, but it is definitely no Simpsons. Stuff that happens generally stays happened, while everything we care about tends to remain right where it is. So let's review shall we. The movies ended on a cliffhanger considering the production crew did not know whether the show would return. The DVD sales being as high as they were meant yes they would, so they quickly turned the cliff hanger into a restart button, bringing the crew from the brink of extinction back to their home and using stemcells (which as we all know were controversial in your day, but nowadays...SHUT UP!) brought all our favourite characters back to life in good health, including Zapp Brannigan.  WHEEEEEEEEEE!  We have Fry and Leela dating and in love, but nothing indicates the idea of a lifelong relationship. Whatever the case, we can only assume that Fry is happier than he has ever been now that Leela is willing to, almost casually, join the mile deep club  Fry's reaction to learning that Leela is willing to join the mile deep club cause...why not? We learned some other INTERESTING STUFF as well such as: Bender was NOT built by Hermes, who is actually inspector 5  . People used to think I was dumb...but I proved them!  The professor's old girlfriend wasn't named Eunice...her name was UNIT! He was a robosexual! Duh Vinci is the dumbest person on his planet and Fry doesn't know what language he's speaking. Amy saved Earth from cats (which are all aliens) by changing the direction of the planet's rotation causing the sun to set in the east. And she was at last begrudgingly presented with her PHD in applied physics. Nibbler forgot to make the crew taste purple so now he just talks when he pleases. The theory of evolution is still up for debate in the year 3010 to the point where Farnsworth doesn't want to live on this planet anymore. No matter how permuted up your minds are, they can be restored using at most 2 extra players! Lrrr and Ndnd are still having trouble with their relationship but Orson Welles and cheap teleportation rays disguised as disintegration rays do more for their marriage than a freshly cut human horn. And here's something you may or may not find interesting. We discovered that some rich person named Mister was nice to a mutant a long time ago so mutants are now allowed to live on the surface.  This means that we may or may not be seeing more of Leela's parents and newly met Grandmother who was kept secret because she's nuts. Oh and yeah how could I forget... Scruffy turned a regular board into a diving board.  Mhmmmm So there you have it. After years of sadness and depression, a wonderful revival movie and 3 mediocre followup movies (depending on how you look at it) and 13 stand up episodes (again depending on how you look at it, this poster happens to LOVE the new episodes with all the heartfeltness of watching War is the H Word or the Why of Fry) we have the rest of the sixth season to sate our hunger for a dopey delivery boy who froze himself while warming our hearts to find himself in the year 3000, a million years! Let us bask in the glory of Futurama once again for the remainder of season 6, and hope with all our might that they may return to us again for a 7th season next year. edit: I added some junk and stuff or whatever!

Excellently written; I have two things to add:Dheni Walsh posted:One of the greatest things about this show is that it maintains cannon unlike nearly any other animated sitcom. It's not quite Dragon Ball, but it is definitely no Simpsons. Stuff that happens generally stays happened, while everything we care about tends to remain right where it is. Some great examples of the continuity of the series include the earth now spinning the opposite directions, so that the sun sets in the east, and ships no longer being fueled by dark matter/poop, but good old reliable whale oil. Dheni Walsh posted:...including Zap Brannigan. He's actually the man with no name, Zapp Smith... Brannigan.

If someone saved it and/or made one I'd be happy to add it. In the mean time I put something just as indicative under the image to express the Zapper in all his, um...glory? Also updated to fix my booboo regarding Hermes/Bender which I ask you all forgive me for...I smoked a lot of paperwork in my day

As for the avatar I'm currently between jobs and ain't got no credit card so we'll see maybe in the near future I can get one. Otherwise I'll leave it up to the Great Wall Of Prophecy to reveal God's will that I may blindly obey!
