I only caught the first half of the movie last night, so I didn't see all of the cuts they made but... that's just stupid. Wasn't Cartman supposed to be a homage to South Park, and to a lesser extent Comedy Central? From what little I saw, I agree with seattlejohn01 that the movie seemed to work a lot better as four split episodes than as a single entity, though I can't really put my finger on why. I think it's easier to forgive some of the plotholes and other minor failings when you see it as four 22 minute episodes rather than a feature length film because mentally you argue that "they didn't have time to expand on ___". Some of the cuts were absolutely attrocious, though: Fry's escape from Nudar and his friends was horribly butchered and the cuts painfully obvious, and cutting Leela and Lars date montage in half like that was irritating (that was one of my favorite parts of the movie!). Epic fail indeed.

Down to basic cable here. Was the 1st CC episode pretty much the first 20+ minutes on the BBS DVD or was the 1st CC episode made from scenes selected from the entire DVD?

Even adding a credit sequence at the beginning and end of each "episode" would only remove...what, four minutes?

Is it just my station, or is the picture of today's encore presentation of "Bender's Big Score" screwed up?

So far, there's only been one new part, and that was the Torgo commericial. I have to say, I'm a bit dissapointed That's why it seemed so short to me! I love that part, I don't know how I missed it! But yeah... the car falling on Leela and Lars was gone, wasn't it? And I don't remember seeing the mini-golf... They also cut at least one line from the announcer guy who gets killed by the Hypnotoad ("No, Hypnotoad! It's beyond my control! Please don't make me kill myself!" ), the part about Amy being able to speak Yeti and I could swear that they cut away from the scene where everyone strips down. They also cut down the opening so that you see Zoidberg randomly using his claws like castanets, which didn't make as much sense without the other character intros. And, of course, they cut off the taglines. All I remember seeing is the "Apply directly to the foreclaw!" one.

Now that Bender's Big Score has been aired for a second time on Comedy Central, it feels as if Futurama is really back. When the four part mini series aired Sunday, we all watched Matt G. and crew's first ressurection offering once again in the ole' homestead, here. I really started experiencing that take it for granted feeling one can get when a series is current. It was a nice feeling to have for a cultural icon. Knowing that there is more to come, also cemented in place that Fururama is a substantiated figure in our current tense of a culture. Hazah, for Comedy Central and Matt G. and the crew! edit- What will really be cool is when Bender's Big Score is incorporated into the seventy-two episode library plus the added four episodes in continuum. So, when the last(old!) finale episode comes up to be watched on Comedy Central... it won't reset back to episode one point oh; when Fry unthaws... <object width="510" height="295"><param name="movie" value=" http://www.hulu.com/embed/59lfHD_YQSdqJgSYk6Fwng"></param><embed src=" http://www.hulu.com/embed/59lfHD_YQSdqJgSYk6Fwng" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="510" height="295"></embed></object> FRY'S first taste... ...It will continue on to episode 73, then episode... 74! Wow! Then episode 75! And, lastly, then on to the new last episode... episode 76! Cool, huh?!
