New episodes of Futurama will begin later this month on ELEVEN.

ELEVEN lists the series as Season 8 although it appears to be the first of four remaining episodes from Season 6.

“The Silence of the Clamps.”
Fry can’t remember why he’s covered with horrible burns. Professor Farnsworth explains: it all began a few days ago, while they were on the run from Zapp Brannigan. On it’s escape the planet express plunged into the panama wormhole and took them all straight back to earth. Problem is Zapp was hot on their tail, so when they made a crash landing…so did he, right into their ship.

Though the professor managed to protect their heads from the crash, their bodies, with the exception of Fry’s, are toast, and poor Leela is in a coma that could be irreversible.

Meanwhile Bender has to dance continously to keep from exploding…which is, of course, hilarious.

It airs 8:00pm Wednesday June 29th.

  2. “The Silence of the Clamps” is the next episode in the production order of this season (Season 6) – however Comedy central has chosen to screen “Neutopia” and “Benderama” as the first episodes of this year’s broadcast season. Neutopia will most likely be airing as the season premiere here too.

    It’s good to see that Channel 10 is fast tracking this, but I recommend they air Benderama on the same night, otherwise they are going to end up almost two weeks behind the Comedy Central screenings, and that’s just too long a wait for me.

  4. Comedy Central’s initial production order was 26 eps. We have seen 14 (I assume Eleven has shown the Holiday Spectacular episode?) so we have 12 to go in this “block”. There will be another 26 over the next 2 years.

  5. Technically, this will be the “8th season” of Futurama in terms of how it has been broadcast (as FOX has aired many episodes out of their original order, and has held back episodes from previous season’s production runs to air later on); however, in production terms, this marks the second half of the sixth production order for the show. I know it’s confusing, but here’s a quick breakdown…

    Season 1 – First production order
    Season 2 – First and second production order
    Season 3 – Second and third production order
    Season 4 – Third and fourth production order
    Season 5 – Third and fourth production order
    Season 6 – Fifth production order
    Season 7 – First half of sixth production order
    Season 8 – Second half of sixth production order (Current season)
    Season 9 – First half of seventh production order (2012 season)
    Season 10 – Second half of seventh production order (2013 season)

  11. that summary is from the episode “rebirth”, which was the first ep of season 6. The Silence of the Clamps was listed as the first new ep of the 2nd half of season 6 (as comedy central have elected to break the season up into 13 ep blocks), however “Neutopia” is now listed a the premiere ep (3 days!!!). A little confused. It would be great if we get an ep not yet seen in the states!
