In the "Futurama" episode "The Luck of the Fryrish", Fry (Billy West) is incensed when a trip to the racetrack leaves him with only his last dollar. Waving the dollar above his head, he boasts to the fates that it will remain his. A rogue breeze, however, whips the dollar out of his hand and deposits it on top of some nearby power lines. Fry, determined to retrieve his last dollar ... not terribly bright ... climbs up to the power lines with a metal rake, hoping to scoop up his money. Predictably, touching the rake to the power lines electrocutes Fry. Then, to add insult to injury, the rake attracts a lightning bolt, electrocuting Fry a second time. He falls into a garbage can, his hair burned off. 

Later, back at Planet Express, Fry seethes, his bald head still smoldering. Luckily, a Hair Robot -- a character never before seen on...

Futurama returns with new episodes when Season 12 of the animated sci-fi sitcom debuts on Hulu at the end of July. Ahead of the premiere, showunner and head writer David X. Cohen shared a few details about what viewers can expect from the upcoming installments.

"The season starts with a couple of huge, ambitious episodes," Cohen told Animation Magazine. "In the season premiere, Bender makes an emotional return to his ancestral Mexican robot village, where Danny Trejo has a hilarious guest appearance as Bender's cousin, Doblando. And the second episode, 'Quid's Game,' is a monster, featuring no fewer than 34 of your favorite Futurama characters attending a surreal replay of Fry's emotional eighth birthday party. Except this time, the party games are played to the death."

Futurama co-creator David X. Cohen says that the universally beloved episode and former series finale “Meanwhile” left a lot of questions for the Hulu revival to answer. Questions like, “Why did you have to ruin a perfect ending?”

This July 29th, Futurama will return with 10 all-new episodes for its 12th season, with two more 10-episode batches planned under the show’s renewed deal with Hulu. Despite an aging voice cast and the erosion of the narrative cohesion that perfectly capped off the the series back in 2013, for once, the future of Futurama seems eminently secured, and the threat of cancellation will not cast a shadow over the arrival of Season 12. Cohen himself seems to be enjoying a level of job security that has never typified his time with Futurama, but he, too, feels that the show’s fourth series non-finale left some unsatisfying loose ends that loom over the new episodes.

In the latest episode of “Hollyoaks,” airing at 7:00 Pm on Thursday, July 25, 2024, on E4, viewers can expect a rollercoaster of emotions and drama. The episode follows Leela as she faces a challenging time planning Noah’s wake on her own. Her stress is compounded by concerns that Joel might be distancing himself from her, adding to her emotional burden.

Meanwhile, tension rises as another villager is forced out of their family home, creating ripples throughout the community. The episode also reveals a shocking twist when a resident realizes they have been deceived, leading to unexpected confrontations and drama.

With its mix of heartfelt struggles and intense revelations, this episode of “Hollyoaks” promises to keep audiences hooked. The intricate personal dramas and surprising turns of events will undoubtedly make for compelling viewing.

Futurama season 12 will feature fewer topical jokes, avoiding the dated references that plagued season 11. Season 11's best episodes were nostalgic call-backs, while weaker ones focused on outdated satirical topics. Futurama's future setting makes it challenging to pull off timely humor, leading to season 12's wise choice.

As Futurama season 12s release date approaches, the cartoon comedy promises to avoid an issue that hurt 2023s season 11 revival. Futurama has been through more iterations than most TV shows ever manage since the series debuted in 1999. Futuramas Planet Express crew was first introduced in seasons 1-4, which aired between 1999 and 2003. Futurama was then canceled and later revived for a quartet of direct-to-dvd movies which subsequently spawned a fifth season in 2008. In 2010 and 2011, further seasons were produced before Futurama was canceled again and, in 2023, renewed once more.

Now, July 2024 will see the arrival of Futurama season 12. This latest season promises more adventures for Fry,...

Futurama is a great show, but arguably the greatest thing about it is the relationship between Fry and Leela. Fry liked Leela from the moment he first came to the future and met her, but Leela for ages only saw Fry as a slightly annoying friend and co-worker. Yet as the years went by, everything changed.

Fry and Leela eventually got together and they became one of the most beloved couples in the animation world. The episodes that focused on them were always funny, because that's what Futurama excels at, but most of them were also incredibly touching. By the end of the series, everyone wanted a relationship like Fry and Leela's.

The "Futurama" episode "Meanwhile" was the third series finale, marking the show's third cancelation. "Futurama" debuted in 1999, and ran for four seasons, before being unceremoniously canceled in 2003. The show's first series finale, "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" (August 10), involved the romantic possibilities for Fry (Billy West) and Leela (Katey Sagal) who teetered on the cusp of romance for years. Robot Devil (Dan Castellaneta) agreed to trade hands with Fry (!) so that Fry would be able to more capably play the Holophoner, a skill very impressive to Leela. 

"Futurama" returned for four straight-to-dvd features in 2008 and 2009. The fourth of the films, "Into the Wild Green Yonder," also served as a series finale, and also ended with a romantic moment between Fry and Leela.

Good news, everyone! "Futurama" is back ... again! Like "The Simpsons," which was birthed by "Futurama" creator Matt Groening, this show refuses to die, though not for lack of trying. "Futurama" originally ran on Fox from 1999 through 2003. This was the era of the show I watched, and I absolutely loved it. I wasn't alone, either — the show developed a strong fanbase. Sadly, that wasn't enough to keep Fox from canceling it. However, "Futurama" found a second life thanks to reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

This proved popular enough to lead to a revival of sorts. As a result, four direct-to-video films were made, continuing the adventures of the Planet Express crew. Those movies were then broken up into 16 individual episodes that formed a new season on Comedy Central. Then, Comedy Central ordered 26 more episodes. And even then, "Futurama" still wasn't done. Hulu swooped in and ordered a revival series, which...

In the "Futurama" episode "When Aliens Attack", Earth is invaded by the brutish -- and TV-obsessed -- Omicronians. It seems that their planet, Omicron Persei 8, was still receiving Earth TV signals broadcast from a millennium before, and they had become very involved in the hottest TV shows of 1999. The leader of the Omicronians, Lrrr (Maurice Lamarche), became incensed when a signal from his favorite show, "Single Female Lawyer," was unexpectedly interrupted, and he led a fleet of warships to Earth in response. How did the season finale of "Single Female Lawyer" turn out? Lrrr needed to know, or else he'd destroy the planet. 

As is often the case when Earth is invaded, the President dispatched Zapp Brannigan (Billy West) to take care of the threat. "Futurama" fans will be able to tell you that this is always a bad idea, as Zapp Brannigan is a dumb, over-confident blowhard with no...
