Is there a new episode on this Wednesday? I don't think there is since it's Independence Day and there haven't been any commercials for a new episode but I just wanted to make sure.

My tv guide @ on-my.tv says yes:

Futurama S: 7 - Ep: 4 'The Thief of Baghead'

[dakkumauji]

I guess no one saw this episode or something?

Either way, it was fun. Didn't take the current event references too far and had good jokes.

[CassSept]

Wow, this thread is deader than dead :( (though I guess it's because of 4th of July, eh?)

It was ok, again. I laughed at Jurassic Tank and the first deflation, but that's about it. On the other hand, pacing was abhorrent. At least next week it's Zapp time, hopefully that can get it back on track.

Yeah the latest ep was the weakest this season for me. Bring on some Zapp!

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah it's nothing too spectacular, but it wasn't too offending.

[AAequal]

Whole episode was bit silly. There were funny bits but overall it was just meh. I actually watched the episode hour or two ago and don't remeber a thing about it :D Maybe I just have bad case of explosive amnesia or the episode was just meh.

It didn't seem completely resolved but is Calculon officially dead now? He did take the real poison. It would be cool if the next episode dealt with this and maybe have Bender trying to bring Calculon back to "life". Maybe get the Robot Devil involved somehow? Or maybe they'll ignore Calculon's death and not even bother touching on it (or maybe he's really perma-dead?).

There's an episode later this season titled "Calculon 2.0", so I think he is dead until that episode most likely

[Tuck]

Episode was alright, but not as good as the first too. Not awful, not great.

[DarkKyo]

I'm loving this season so far. All the episodes have been pretty good.

[Baconsaurus Rex]

I wonder how I'd feel if I had not known about the general opinion that Futurama nowadays isn't as good as it used to be. I'm sure I would enjoy it more. This episode wasn't bad, but not great either.

[chris.trejo]

I guess I'm in the minority but I loved this episode I love it when they get all Sci-Fi, yeah it wasn't anything big but I prefer this over current event type episodes.

Agreed completely, great episode. The life-draining effect was insane and totally unexpected :)

[SalsaShark]

just caught up, as stated episode was good but not as good as the season openers, season still going strong tho

[B.K.]

I didn't watch this week. I think they rerun on Wednesday night before the new episodes. I was watching The Twlight Zone marathon all day Wednesday and didn't watch Futurama.

[Xeke]

We're back!

[B.K.]

We're back!

Unless you have DirecTV!

[KrymynalChylde]

I thought Bender was pretty damn funny in the last two eps. Leela's hair getting caught had me dying, and the "zebra entrance" joke had me giggling...even if it was a blatant ripoff of a Farside comic.

[Rebel Leader]

Unless you have DirecTV!

Ouch

[Razgriz-Specter]

Great comedy focused episode tonight.

[Sadsic]

That was actually a classic-worthy episode for me... it could easily slip into season 3 or 4 without seeming any different i think.

there was no topical humor, an interesting story, and a lot of characters were used that dont get a lot of screentime normally.

9/10 for me

[Horse Detective]

I would like to get into this show.

[Griegite]

I've missed the last 3 episodes including the one aired tonight. It's too bad their are no places online to watch it such as hulu.

[chris.trejo]

I really liked this epsidoes, very focuses, nothing topical, just plain fun. Zapp being there always helps.

[Razgriz-Specter]

I would like to get into this show.

Luck of the Fryrish
Jurassic Bark
Roswell that ends well

[dakkumauji]

Pretty good episode.

It was funny, nice focus on less used characters, and I liked the jokes.

[Boss Doggie]

Meh, Jurassic Bark is the quintessential overrated Futurama ep.

* for you

[Boss Doggie]

No seriously. It lacked the build up Luck of the Fryrish and The Sting had. The first half of the ep was pointless gags. Most of the emotional stuff was tied... to the ending, which feels more like a last ditch effort. It lacks the cohesion Fryrish had (it too followed a "gag" but they all feel relevant and flashbacks made it work towards the clincher).

[gooey kablooie]

[TheVampire]

awwww

I don't really remember the pointless gags. IIRC episode was rather straightforward and then they started to build up Fry's relationship with Seymour early on.

[Psxphile]

I don't really remember the pointless gags.

I remember how random the Leela/Amy wrestling/sparring scene was. Just an excuse to show them groping each other.

But what an excuse!

[Boss Doggie]

At least today's ep shows that Brannigan isn't really picky, and while he's lecherous, he definitely doesn't care if that person is a mutant.

I don't really remember the pointless gags. IIRC episode was rather straightforward and then they started to build up Fry's relationship with Seymour early on.

I guess it felt more like pointless rather than something like Fryrish, but then I'm one of those who keep on saying "Fryrish is better dammit!"

That was rather shameless but the wrestling action was always in the background and never became focus of the episode.

Fryish is better! There was no wasted screen time in that episode, such well constructed episode. Just saying that Jurassic Bark is among the best of Futurama, at least for me.

[Boss Doggie]

Okay, today's episode is good. Also dat Lee Lemon cameo.

[CassSept]

Wow, that was a really great episode. Funny, focused, VERY WELL PACED. The latter surprise me the most as they had some major pacing problems recently, yet this one was balanced out pretty much perfectly. I thought a scene or two was pretty pointless (I didn't like surfing in space to control the ship), but these were just minor annoyances.

"Kif, I'm bored. What's say you go out on the wing and pretend you're a gremlin?"

:lol

[Dilly]

Yeah, finally some space stuff again!

[Jackpot]

I thought it was incredibly unfunny. Leela's parents have always been non-starters when comes to comedy.

[Hackbert]

hehe.. this episode gets the stamp of approval. (gif that )

[An-Det]

Really liked last night's episode. The story was focused and it didn't do much (if any) topical humor. Not bad at all.

[HolyCheck]

good ep! notbhing amazing obviosly but just a good well paced enjoyabele ep

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Mos Def Cantina made me laugh

[BY2K]

Meh, Jurassic Bark is the quintessential overrated Futurama ep.

NO.

[Boss Doggie]

Was the yarn alien meant to be a reference or something?

NO.

And that's why it sucks. And this is coming from a dog lover.

[Zeppu]

Worst episode in the last couple of seasons. Really? Wave weapons?

'Shut up and take my money' alone makes it better than this one.
