Futurama Returns!
Random BedHead Ed writes "Good news everyone! After a five year vanishing act the sci-fi spoof Futurama returned this week with a direct-to-DVD feature. Wired has an article about its return, including the story of the show's origins, a behind the scenes gallery, interviews with creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen, and some interesting trivia. For example, did you know the ship has an overbite like a Simpson's character? Or that the show's title is taken from an exhibition at the 1939 Worlds Fair?." We just talked about this a bit the other day, too, in reference to a great interview on TVSquad.
I believe there were 16 episodes that were made (and Bender's Big Score covers 1-4 - the production numbers mark it as season 5).
However, I can't seem to find any details on the next one in the series... I'd love to mark it in my calendar so I don't forget.
Eh, spoiler, but the movie makes it a lot less sad. Perhaps it's for people that couldn't watch the episode without crying.
A previous episode of futurama has had a binary-joke. Benders room number is $ in binary ascii.
:/
So when I saw the binary code here I instantly tried to figure out what it said. It turned out
the message was really IN the binary this time.
