Wasn't "A Taste of Freedom" a commentary on the whole flag burning controversy in the US? And wasn't "Hell Is Other Robots" a commentary on drug use?

Well! Wasn't "Xmas Story" and "A Tale of Two Santas" a bit about Christmas and its commercialisation!?

Clip from "The Duh-Vinci Code." It seemed a little...slow. Not unfunny, but kind of leisurely. Maybe it's the almost-educational aspect of it that seems a bit off. At any rate, I do think that Farnsworth having a nerd-crush on Leonardo DaVinci makes perfect sense, and if it offers a bit of insight into his mad scientist's mind, then I'm all for it. The Achilles heel joke was a little lame, but Fry's line about Nibbler dying in the wall and him wearing the beard were funny. Still pretty excited for this one, just because thematically it seems different, and it's always cool to see the different directions in which the writers can push the show, both comedically and story-wise.

Argh. Somebody needs to rehost that on youtube for non USAliens.

"What turned them to stone?" Class ^
I second that! But isn't Fry kinda right...? since the heads of famous people are in the museum shouldn't the heads of these geniuses be too? Loved the Professor's laughter at the end! (Poor Fry... but he IS dumb...)

Um, no, Fry's wrong. They're called busts. You know, they're not real, sculpted into stone to look like somebody. That's what makes it funny: Fry thinks they were all turned to stone. You know, the whole "Fry is dumb" thing...

I got it, but I wasn't sure Fry did... Maybe I expressed myself in the wrong way... sorry

The clip seemed promising, and I like how it's kind of calm in comparison to the latest episodes. Also I'm a big da Vinci fan, so this episode will be fun if they throw in a lot of geeky background gags, and it seems they will. Both "why were they turned into stones?" and "no! NO! But possibly yes!" are great jokes, and the Professor's laugh just kills me. And as Gorky points out the Professor being a da Vinci fan boy makes sense even though it's never been mentioned before. This looks like a really promising episode.

I hate to be off-topic, but does anyone have any vague idea of the number of viewers as compared to the earlier seasons? I have been concerned recently about the shows future, as these new episodes have been decent, but certainly not the same as the earlier ones. I guess what I am trying to say is that do we have reason to fear that the show might not get renewed after these 26 episodes have been aired? I love this show, and would hate to see it die again so soon.

That is why my username has nothing to do with futurama. All the good ones (and most of the bad ones) are already taken.
Good ones like Susan the Boil, the most memorable, emotionally distinctive character in the history of television?

Jebediah Springfield anyone?
Haha, I didn't think of that until you said it. Overall it is not a Simpsons original story so I wouldn't mind if the Futurama story ended up similar, but at the same time I wouldn't be able to not see the similarities.

As long as we get a Whacking Day, I'm fine with this. And it's a classic plot twist. If the story was: They find a colony founded by Leonardo DaVinci, only to discover it was a Space Pirate's colony Then I could understand somebody finding the similarities.

Also (from a later tweet) Buzz Aldrin was there! Possible guest star?
Nah, I guess he was just hanging out.
