1000 years of progress, holosheds, forcefields, etc. replicators are probably in governement use too. The Italian governement probably just built a replica of the Leaning Tower when the original was stolen. Much easier than arguing with the Americans to get it back.

In XMas Story, Leelasays Global Warming happens, but Nuclear Winter cancels it out. How do the people feel it in COTH?

The global warming Leela was talking about (and nuclear winter cancelled out) was caused by people burning fossile fuels. Later emission standards was adopted to prevent it from happening again. The global warming in COTH was caused by robots violating the standards. Just because the first one was annuled doesn't mean a new one can't happen.

Anyone care to explain?
You could make the same observation about the White House. In "When Aliens Attack", its: a. On Monument Beach b. Destroyed. But in "A Head in the Polls", Nixon crashes through the White House. Also, in "A Big Piece of Garbage", why didn't the Middle New Yorkers (Halfway between Old and New New York ) just send the garbage ball into the Sun in the first place? One would have thought it easier to send something INTO the Sun, than having to have enough thrust/momentum to escape it's gravity?

Nope, 3002 is correct (IMO). Fry come to the future on new years eve 2999. After that we have 2 Xmas episodes (Xmas 3000 and Xmas 3001), and then WNFHGB. Originally posted by Carbito: Then if thats true then howcome that fish bones that Zoidberg eats does not make a huge crater? Wind resistance slowed the fishbone down. Same reason why a ball of paper and a sheet of paper wont fall at the same speed.

But Xmas Story was Xmas 3000 (2ACV04), A Tale Of Two Santas was Xmas 3001 (3ACV03) there wasn't a 4ACV Xmas episode but the 3ACV season was longer than the rest and since Where No Fan Has Gone Before was in the middle-ish of 4ACV I think it's stretching it for 3ACV and 4ACV to only last throughout 3002. Unless the banner was digitally edited like the characters mouths are and it originally said 3003 but was changed, I do find it a little hard to believe. And I just remembered the time skips in Time Keeps On Slippin' would have chopped a few chunks out of 3002. Who knows how long it took to build the gravity pump and attach it to the ship.

We don't really know how long a season is. Neither Matt nor David have ever said that one production season equals one year (that's a Star Trek thing), so I'll say it's possibly. Then again "Roswell That Ends Well" (3ACV19) was on September 21st 3002 and "Love And Rocket" (4ACV02) was on Valentines Day, so it looks like Melllvar made a little mistake.

I was thinking of Love And Rocket but couldn't remember if it was actually on Valentine's Day. I just assumed a production season lasted just under a year (1ACV01 to 1ACV13 was about 10 months? When is Labour Day in the US?)

Dates for 1ACV aren't really that awkward. 1ACV01: 1st January 3000 1ACV02: Probably the first day back to work 1ACV03: Around 1st February 3000 (Hermes: I notice Fry has been here for a month...) 1ACV04: April 13th 3000.
And so on.

Yeah, but preferably it should be about new goofs. Otherwise people would just start to make copy-and-paste posts straight out of the capsules, or WEFNZ.
