Good news everyone! The newest season of Futurama starts June 23 at 10pm on Comedy central with a one hour premier.

So what sort of episodes do we have to look forward to? Well,

The first episode apparently will have all the characters swap genders

And Bender gets tiny destructive clones.

http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/futurama/index.jhtml

On top of all that, 26 more Episodes of Bender and the other guys. So at least 2 more summers of Futurama, not including this one.

So let's talk about:

Bender

Scruffy

    More than likely. I'm wondering how the episode is going to handle that situation.

    Yeah, I felt pretty good about last season. I'm just happy to get more Futurama honestly. And two more seasons after this one? Man.

    The movies weren't that good, to be fair.

    And yeah, the first episode will cause a hella shitstorm, most likely. But judging by the commercials, it at least looks funny, so there's that.

    I'm excited about this. It didn't have that bad of a run when it first came back and it's bound to get better again.

    The movies however kinda suck.

    I think we can all agree the movies were less than perfect. Although they did get us a new season, so not all bad. But yeah, some of the continuity between the movies was just ugh.

    I watched one or two of the movies, they weren't bad, but it was seriously like a really long episode. and not in pacing. it was just they had the jokes for maybe two episodes and made an hour and a half out of it.

    yes yes yes I do so love Futurama. The movies were pretty awful but I think this last season was pretty awesome. Well, most of the episodes were at least decent and there were some that were absolutely incredible (anyone who doesn't like the time-travel episode has no soul).

    I genuinely hope it'll be better than last season. Mostly disappointing so far.

    I dunno, I dug a lot of the last season. The iPod and maybe the cat one were the only genuine clunkers - the rest were rock solid, with "Prisoner of Benda" and "The Late Philip J. Fry" ascending to my personal pantheon of favorite Futurama episodes.

    Man were those great episodes.

    I did enjoy the last season for the most part, but I'm willing to chalk up any bad parts to them getting back into the groove of things. So I feel good about this season.

    I don't really care for Scruffy. His first appearance aside, I've never found him to be a fount of amusement.

    The ipod episode had this

    But overall it was weak.

    The season was fantastic though and especially good after the movies, which I confess I found interesting and clever in parts if not laugh out loud funny.

    In conclusion, im super duper excited for new seasons.

    Yeah, the movies were basically all butts. With the exception of this:

    Man were those great episodes.

    I guess it's just that a lot of the jokes within each episode seem much more forced and less natural than they used to be. The scene editing processes have also gotten strangely jarring, both visually and logically. Stuff like that irks the shit out of me.

    Not to mention the stories themselves have been generally mediocre, all of which look worse than normal when stacked against the last season pre-cancellation, which had some fucking brilliant stuff. Not that doing that is entirely fair, but I can't shut off my fond memories.

    Still holding out hope, though.

    That scene was so fucking wonderful I had to question what it was doing in such a terrible film.
