A Farewell to Arms - S07E02 - June 20 2012

The crew discovers a Martian calendar predicting that the world is going to end in 3012. Indeed, typical end-of-the-world things begin happening.

Decision 3012 - S07E03 - June 27 2012

Richard Nixon's head runs for a third term as president of Earth. Among the candidates running against him is Chris Travers, a senator from Hawaii. Leela becomes Travers' campaign manager.

Travers must win the election, as terrible events will occur in the event that Nixon wins. Bender will finally get to fulfill his wish to kill all humans, leading all robots in a revolt against humanity. This revolt will lead to a bleak future where the last remnants of humanity hide underground in fear.

The Thief of Baghead - S07E04 - July 4 2012

Bender takes up photography. He is the last non-digital photographer on Earth, using film due to his preference for the look of film grain. He attempts to photograph Langdon Cobb, an actor called the greatest in the world. Cobb always wears a bag over his head due to his desire to be known for his acting and not his looks. Calculon challenges him for his title, and the two partake in the World Acting Championship, an acting contest to the death.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Planet Express crew have their life forces removed.

Zapp Dingbat - S07E05 - July 11 2012

The Butterjunk Effect - S07E06 - July 18 2012

Amy and Leela become addicted to "Nectar," a nutritional supplement that boosts their performance in the future sport of Butterfly Derby. Fry is sprayed with the pheromone of a giant male butterfly - which makes him irresistibly attractive to Leela and Amy.

NeoGAF Season 6 OT

My first OT! Tips and constructive criticism are always welcome.

[strafer]

Bender is the best. :)

[DrForester]

First few episdoes sound terrible...

[Tucah]

Some of those episodes sound pretty terrible, but the series has been extremely hit or miss for me since its return so I'm not really surprised. Despite that, hope this season is solid.

[Tuck]

Korra ends with 2 episodes the same week as Futurama starts with 2 episodes?

This is gonna be sweet.

[Exterminieren]

Whether these episodes are good or bad, those summaries are incredibly bad.

[Blader5489]

The Thief of Baghead synopsis had no business making me laugh as much as I did

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Whether these episodes are good or bad, those summaries are incredibly bad.

Short summaries like these never did any show justice. We'll see how it plays out, but for the love of god please be great again Futurama.

[DarkKyo]

First episode with Bender's son sounds hilarious. We already know how terrible Bender is with children.

[grap3fruitman]

Hopefully the writing is better than that of season six.

[Shiloa]

I really enjoyed season 6 so I'm really looking forward to this. Hadn't realised it was back so soon.

[Mistle]

I completely missed the news that there'd be a season 7.

Season 6 had a few dud episodes but then a few episodes that were absolutely fantastic IMO (specially the time travel one). Hopefully this season produces some gems.

[Eric C]

Short summaries like these never did any show justice. We'll see how it plays out, but for the love of god please be great again Futurama.

Hopefully the writing is better than that of season six.

Quality wise, I'm hopeful 7A will pick up right where 6B left off.

Season 5 (The Movies) - weren't that great.

Season 6A - was meh.

Season 6B - had some really great episodes, with some not so great episodes.


Some of the episodes last year renewed my faith that the writers still had it in them. We'll see how this season holds up.

[Retro]

Zapp Dingbat

This had me laughing more than anything and I'm not sure why. Could be all those hours spent in typography class.

[zomgbbqftw]

Yes!

[Christian]

Can't wait. This show makes me happy, plain and simple. I'm so excited for new episodes.

[iNvid02]

[rezuth]

They first four episodes sounds amazing.

[Splatt]

Sounds like it'll be a slow start again. Oh well, as long as we get some great eps like last season, I'll be satisfied.

[Tuck]

Don't like the sounds of the birth certificate episode nor the 'world ends in 3012' episode... would rather they not outright base episode plots off real world happenings. it did not work out well when they did it last season (Both in Parts A and B. Ugh that Susan Boyle joke was just awful).

[Curtisaur]

I hope Slurms McKenzie makes an appearance in the first episode somehow.

[DrForester]

I hope Slurms McKenzie makes an appearance in the first episode somehow.

But he's dead....

[ChanHuk]

But he's dead....

Party animal.

[Ponn01]

I've been liking the promos where they recognize the Futurama Meme thing going on.

[Curtisaur]

But he's dead....

That's why I said "somehow." :(

[Digishine]

they need to make more episode's like 22 not 12 only... I seriously can't get enough of Futurama

[FlyingTeacup]

niiice

[Jake.]

zapp 4 world prez.

[Zoibie]

A new Futurama episode mocking the 2012 election? Those are like my two favourite things.

Please be good.

[AAequal]

Eh, seems like there is more of topical episodes. One thing why I fall in love with Futurama was the very fact they were in future, they could go nuts with the stories. I wouldn't even mind the topical stuff if it wasn't so dam obvious. Oh well, last season had some great episodes and plenty of duds and from looks of it this season will be about the same.

[skybaby]

any link?

[Binabik15]

Okay, okay, I think it's stupid that they retconned Bender remembering his birth and now have him impregnate a soda (vending?) machine, but they DO design supah kwute wobots babies.

Don't like the sounds of the birth certificate episode nor the 'world ends in 3012' episode... would rather they not outright base episode plots off real world happenings. it did not work out well when they did it last season (Both in Parts A and B. Ugh that Susan Boyle joke was just awful).

That never works in animated shows, IMO, and the reliance of it in SP and Simpsons really, really lowered the quality of those shows.

[CassSept]

None of the episodes sound really that great, but it's hard to tell now. I'm saddened that this seems to be the end of Nixon presidency, whyyyyy.

[immortal-joe]

Odds of Al Gore making a cameo in that Elections episode?

[Boss Doggie]

I wonder, is Futurama is a bit more continuity-"strict" (quotes) than Simpsons?

[Shaneus]

I wonder, is Futurama is a bit more continuity-"strict" (quotes) than Simpsons?

Bit, but not much. There's a few clear examples (Bender just after he was built was full size, but there's the baby Bender w/ Hermes in S6) but none that I don't think people are happy to overlook. I think that even a few they've actually called themselves out on it maybe.

[Phaethon0017]

But he's dead....tired of partying alone in Heaven!

Fixed.

[chris.trejo]

Yes! I love Futurama, I liked season 6 yeah it had some bad episodes but so did the other seasons (Although maybe not as bad I guess) but it still have those really great episodes you just want to watch again and again.

[Box of Bunnies]

Here's hoping it's better than five and six. Not expecting much though, to be honest.

[Boss Doggie]

Thought as much, but still, it's nice enough that they notice them.

[Jamie OD]

First episode reads like it will be the one I will enjoy the most. Bender's son looks adorable.

[Shaneus]

I'd be happy if it's consistently on par with the latter half of 6. 5, with the exception of the first movie, was largely forgettable (I can't even remember the plot of the latter three movies).

Whimmy wham-wham wazzle!

[Digishine]

First episode will be 60min long.

[Eric C]

First episode will be 60min long.

Just checked my programming guide and yeah Comedy Central is listing it as a 1 single, hour long episode... I'm 99.99% sure it's really 2 separate episodes though.

Either way, tomorrow night will still have 1 hour of new Futurama .

[coolcole93]

New Futurama, sweet! I'm more easily pleased than 99% of Gaf so I'm not too worried about the summaries.

[Boss Doggie]

First episode will be 60min long.

Maybe they think the two episodes is a single episode?

[Nyx]

YES!

Another season, and it starts today.

[Digishine]

Maybe they think the two episodes is a single episode?

Yep probably

[CiSTM]

I have been rewatching S6 this week and it really is terrible season. Even the good episodees don't hold up that well, Evolution episode just felt so dumb on my second watch. Late Philip J Fry was still awesome! Topical episodes were really awful and they really should consider not making them. Prop 8 and Killer App episodes were just fucking awful. There were some gems for sure but they are not something I could watch over and over again like with some older episodes.

[DarkKyo]

I am so excited for tonight!
