And don't bump me like that. I believe I may be affected by this Bender guise? When will Cigar Guy appear in Futurama?
And why couldn't I choose my own profile pic?

I'm sure the DVD sales will be strong and the show will be renewed. In the next season there will be an episode called that's a title pun for Law and Order. Forgot what it was. I hope none of the characters will be accused of a crime they didn't commit in that one.
Answer: It's called "Law and Oracle", I'm really hoping for "All the Presidents' Heads", the "head-licking" episode. Season 6.5 is going to be great. (I hope.)

To sum up:
Known episode names AND positions: "The Silence of the Clamps" (6ACV14) "Möbius Dick" (6ACV15) (although strongly assumed rather than confirmed) "All the Presidents' Heads" (6ACV23) "Cold Warriors" (6ACV24) "Reincarnation" (6ACV26)
Known episode names, but NOT position: "Overclockwise" "Fry Am the Egg Man" "Nine-Tenths of a Zoidberg is Underwater" "Neutopia" "Law & Oracle" "Ghost in the Machines" "Benderama" "Yo Leela Leela"
Which amounts to 13 episodes and thus all of them.

As it stands, right now, we don't know if there is going to be more afterwards. Even the show runners are working with the idea that it could be the last Futurama ever.
The criticism stems from two sides. There is a large portion of the criticism that is largely fuelled by a nostalgia fatigue, that new stuff can never equal or surpass the old in quality. This line of thought is entirely uncommon these days, and I suspected it would befall upon the revival of Futurama too.
The other portion stems from view that a larger portion of the new season is not entirely en par with old series than a season used to be. This - to some people at least - gives a sense of a 'bad season', if it has more misses than hits (though it did had some very very good hits).
Some would argue that for some people, the problem with the new season is that Futurama has changed its focus slightly compared to the seasons of old. Futurama appealed to many different people for different reasons. Even the new season has episodes that some love and some loath. Same was true with the old show.
The idea here is that some would say that Futurama's focus has become narrower (not changed), and thus does not appeal to its entire scope of fans as much as it used to.
But the mere fact remains that some of these episodes shows signs of sloppy shitty writing. Plain and simple.
Some of the criticism is reasonable, some isn't. And I can understand why people are losing faith in the show. Especially with this new Xmas episode (which did - however - make me laugh and not cringe once), which seemed like a failed attempt at an AOI-style Xmas story. And - if you ask me - a horrible misuse of Al Gore.
