What part are they working on - how to get more than one elbow in there at a time?

[Reply #84 on:]

Actually, I think it's more like Jimmy Fallon's line on SNL.
"I can make her elbow look like a butt!"

[Reply #85 on:]

...No.

[Reply #86 on:]

Its probably more cost effective for fox not to answer fans. I mean, were all still gonna watch the show right??? grrr... dumb fucks

Still, you gotta get a warm feeling inside when you realize fox is quickly slipping to the bottom of the big non-Cable TV companies... i mean i remember reading a post about how UPN beat it out in ratings one... Jeeez.. UPN.

[Reply #87 on:]

I was just reading the new issue of "Entertainment Weekly" today and there is a large-ish review of this episode in there.  They give it an A- and ask why the show is so underappreicated.  At least someone gets it.

[Reply #88 on:]

Did it have any frame grabs?

[Reply #89 on:]

Clool.  I'll have to pick a copy up...as soon as I combat the flu.

They had one drawing of Leela facing a torn shirt Kirk about to fight against a desert background.  If I am correct (and I may not be, it's been a while since I've seen Trek) it's a parody of the famous fight between Kirk and Gorn, I think.

[Reply #91 on:]

Ohmygod...the thought of Leela stomping Cap'n Kirk a set of new mudflaps gives me a frickin' stiffy. (He probably reminds her of someone, yes?)

[Reply #92 on:]

Most definitely...     

[Reply #93 on:]

That sounds really cool.

[Reply #94 on:]

An animator from RDS spoke about drawing Leela and Kirk making out. I'm looking forward to seeing that!   

[Reply #95 on:]

I hope this isn't "The final episode" If it is, I'm never gonna play another Mario game as long as I live!

thnx  lol   

I signed the petition and sent emails and wrote snail mail. So did a lot of other people, and it didn't work. I think its time we went over their heads, and bring down a major load of media down on them. I already posted a topic about one Idea, think of more and post. And be serious about it!    The only responses I got to my topic were jokes. I like a good joke now and then but it seems like noone was taking me seriously. 

[Reply #102 on:]

I think we need to go to the mass media for this. Take it global.

Where would I go for that? Please be a little more specific...

thnx for th reply btw

[Reply #104 on:]

Ummm... I'm just an idea man.

But I'd start with the entertainment editor of your local paper. Be sure to mention the petition.

[Reply #105 on:]

see    thats why I'm always online asking question from you guys    I'm just stupid lol

newspapers... check.. I'll need links too Info about Fox's actions, online news ect.. I will look myself but it would go quicker if someone would post them in my other thread http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/showpage.cgi?Forum=1&Thread=001191

We can archive all the links there and then if anyone else wants to send the info to they're Local News Papers then they'll have the Info right on hand

How did you find this out? I thought they weren't supposed to talk about upcoming episodes?        I thought that scene was super-sexy though, heh heh. Do you know any more tidbits for next season?

[Reply #107 on:]

A thought occurs:

Boycotting and pressuring FOX won't work, because their executives have their heads too far up their asses to notice the common fan.  However, if we can pressure the ADVERTISERS, we might be able to get more of a response.

Yes, if we're ignored by one faceless corporate giant, then surely the answer must be to go after another one. It can't possibly fail!

[Reply #109 on:]

I have a plan.  Write to FOX and all the newspapers.  Tell them you think Futurama is vile and disgusting and should be taken off the air.  Make as big a fuss as possible.  Watch as the audience skyrockets.

[Reply #110 on:]

OR better yet, why doesn't everybody watch that 80's show, and all the other FOX crap, but switch over when the adverts are on, then back again.

Someone will notice that nobody is watching the adverts, and they'll pull out of advertising on FOX. If everybody actually pulled out of FOX's pockets, they'd go bankrupt, and have to sell Futurama to another network in order to raise money.

[Reply #111 on:]

You're assuming that people actually watch the adverts in the first place.

[Reply #112 on:]

Yeah, every show besides Futurama, Simpsons and GTB suck major ass.
But anyway, new news. Surprise, surprise. May 5's 7pm timeslot has been taken by KOTH. OH wow. [sarcasm detector rumbles then explodes]

[Reply #113 on:]

 

From TVTome.com:
April 22, 2002

Futurama's season finale brought in a respectable rating of 4.5/8, beating out ABC's 2 hour World Music Awards. This is quite good considering Futurama is in the worst timeslot possible, and having been moved around and pre-empted as much as it has, it's a surprise people still remember it exists.

Pretty much sez it all.

[Reply #114 on:]

Yeah, seeing on this was the only episode (maybe the season premier, wait, no) this season that has been advertised on U.S. TV.

screw the adverts! I don't even watch Fox anymore(unless Futurama is on). Not even for the Simpsons!

[Reply #116 on:]

Wait. I have asked this before, but is Bender actually gone? I mean Dead? If he is I dont give a shit about future episodes....

[Reply #117 on:]

For the last time, NO!  [Lrr]Stop asking![/Lrr]

[Reply #118 on:]

Even if Bender WAS gone, the episode order's so screwed up he'd still be in it.

[Reply #119 on:]

I'm from austria and they haven't even shown the 3rd season!!!

I'm no FOX-fan either!
