Oh Mother, Where Art Thou?

[on:]

Mom has been missing during much of the final season of Futurama and during the first and, I'm assuming thus far based on story info and footage, second film.
Have the writers grown tired of her? Is she just too similar to Mr. Burns? Will she play a  larger part in the third or fourth movie?

What are your thoughts?

Evil for evil's sake gets boring after a while.  At least the Mr. Burns character is hilarious in his own way & has his own foibles.  To me, the character of Mom is written as evil without any redeeming qualities.  Not many directions you can take that in...
