Scruffy. Not enough Scruffy.

No love for Hermes?

[Hermes] What are you hacking off? Is it my torso? IT IS! MY PRECIOUS TORSO! [/Hermes]

I wonder where Fry and Leela's relationship will be when the new episodes begin?

Don't get me wrong, I love Futurama, but isn't this a bit pricey? I mean, it's essentially 3 episodes, for $30 list? Amazon's $20 price makes it more tempting, but then I have to push something else in to get the free shipping.

I have the entire series on DVD, and I want to support the return of Futurama, but I may end up Netflixing these, with an option to purchase if/when they are bundled.

The DVD movies (Bender's Big Score and three more) will also be chopped up and re-edited, mixed with a bit of new material, to form somewhere around 16 TV episodes which will air on Comedy Central.

When? When will this happen!

When? When will this happen!

It will appear on Comedy Central some time in 2008. No date has been announced yet that I could find.

Three episodes?

running time (from amazon) says 88 min. Typical, I believe, 30 min shows are between 22-24 min without commercials.
So that might be 4 episodes.

That, plus the description of "this, plus 3 other movies, will be chopped up for 16 episodes on Comedy Central" implies an average of 4 episodes per movie.

So (not that it is a huge difference) just explaining it _might_ actually be 4 episode's equivalent rather than 3.
