One Last New Episode of Futurama
Ant writes "Futurama's last new episode airs tonight at 7:00 PM on Fox." If you're missing your fix, there's a Futurama website with entirely too much Futurama info.

...will the DVDs of later season Futurama episodes have the last 20 minutes of a football game, followed by the last 10 minutes of the episode?
Slashdot's server admins seem to like Futurama quite a lot, the server sends out an extra HTTP header with each query. e.g. X-Bender: Well I don't have anything else planned for today, let's get drunk! X-Fry: They're great! They're like sex except I'm having them.
It's always been living in the shadow of the Simpsons which is quite unfortunate because it is actually a very funny show IMHO. I have both seasons on DVD and they're great, and sure while it might not be a laugh a minute like the Simpsons, there is some very clever, dry humour in there.
I dunno what it is but I prefer the characters of Futurama, maybe because they are newer but they still each have their own zing about them - Fry, Leela, Bender, Amy, Prof F., Hermes and Zoidberg (the funniest cartoon character ever). Is it me or is Homer's stupidity getting a little tiresome?
Add to that some great sci-fi - cool gadgets, more zany storylines, AND EXCELLENT COMPUTER JOKES! Some of the ones I can remember
Sign in a Robot Church:
"10 Sin
20 Goto Hell"
Wall plaque:
"10 Home
20 Sweet
30 Goto 10"
Bender: "I had a crazy dream, all ones and zeros, and I think I saw a 2 in there too!"
And of course the episode in the haunted house with the flying Windows logo and eery startup sound.
Mother, do you think they'll like this sig?
