No, not that way, not any way come to think of it. The reason I really want to see "The Route of all Evil" is because I loved "A Clone of my Own" and from the description it sounds like "The Route of all Evil" could be even more visually stunning. Also I want to see what Dwight is like and it's nice to have an episode with different characters than usual, maybe Cubert won't be such an ass either. Put it this way, I have a good feeling about it

Yay! I think I'll make "A Leela of Her Own" a double-page for all the Leela fans.

Yes, finally another Leela episode. I've been dying to see "A Leela Of Her Own" ever since they started the new season. This is gonna be great, I can feel it.

I'm the opposite. I like Blernsball, but I have a feeling this Blernsball episode is going to be crappy. I don't really have any legitimate reasons, it's just a feeling I get.

P.S. haha VF

I'll add my arrrgggghhghghhg right after yours.  Two weeks?  I think we'll be lucky to see it again on thursday at all.  King of the hill sucks so bad.  It gets .00001% better ratings (because it's shown first, not because it's good) and they go and put two of them on.     That crappy show is on at 11:00 PM in syndication in my area too!  It sucks, it sucks, it sucks.

[Reply #45 on:]

its on at 11pm in syndication where you live... but its on at 6:30 pm in syndication where i live.. they cut out the extra half hour of simpsons so when i get home i dont get to see reruns of simpsons only king of the hill

I'm unsure about it too, episodes based on sport don't often please me. We got plenty of great comedy out of the clip in "Fear of a Bot Plantet", so unless the storyline has an interesting sub plot, and a main story that's not too predictable I don't think it will be all that great.

[Reply #47 on:]

I have this Sunday off from work, probably the only one for a long time. I'd like to see Futurestock, but more eager to see A Leela of Her Own. So Futurstock, is this going to be a Fry episode? I'd like to see more of him rather than just going ga-ga over Leela.

Yeah. Blurnsball is funny because of its confusing randomnness. If they have a whole episode about it, they'll probably either explain it, making it less funny, or they'll just keep doing wacky random gags, which would be overkill. I can't see this episode being good, but hopefully it'll surprise me.

[Reply #49 on:]

Anyone in the US lucky enough to know if there will be a new episode on April 14th, please say there is...

[Reply #50 on:]

I wish. The guy who does the "upcoming episodes" thing took a week off.

[Reply #51 on:]

Yup, I just checked tvguide.com. 30% Iron Chef is scheduled to air.

Thanx for the news FishyJoe, looks like Fox are saving "The Route of All Evil" for the Season 3 production finale.

[Reply #53 on:]

Hmm...

On the one hand, Bender episodes usually suck.

On the other, I LOVE Iron Chef.

I'm so confused...

I disagree but maybe that's because he's my favorite character. "30% Iron Chef" could have potential and I would like to see Elzar's character develop some more.

[Reply #55 on:]

I'm a bit torn on this one too. Benders part of Bender-heavy episodes are usually either massive hits (Godfellas, Raging Bender) or big disappointments (Bendin', Bendless, Pharaoh) so in that repsect it could go either way.

On the other hand Elzar is one of my favorite sidecharacters, so it's nice to see him get some more development.

Edit: The again, I have absolutely no knowledge about this "Iron Chef"-thingy that apparently forms the background, so I could be missing out on some neat jokes. Better go read up at Imdb.com.

Edit edit: William Shatner 

Hmm, could go either way. But I'm hoping for a "Godfellas" kinda tour-de-force.

Don't forget "Hell Is Other Robots", that was the first real Bender episode and it was superb

Btw I havn't seen "Godfellas" yet but I'm really looking foward to it.

Whoa, tiger.  That's not the real Iron Chef.  That's the bastard American offspring of Iron Chef.  The real Iron Chef is Japanese and is only shown on The Food Network.

[Reply #58 on:]

Hmm, that actually would make a good background for a Bender/Elzar episode. Gonna be neat to watch (although it is a Bender-centered episode), but first "A Leela Of Her Own" (which I'm sure is gonna great).

[Reply #59 on:]

I'm hopeing that they will be both great episode and I think I might like 30% Iron Chef!

than the dumb new Simpsons episodes and This sunday they will show Homer smokeing pot can't wait. 

[Reply #60 on:]

I like the original "Iron Chef" esp. how they make simple cooking look so dramatic. Now I'll be looking toward this Bender episode, even though I think season 4 has had a whole slew of them already. And I wanna see more Nibbler!

[Reply #61 on:]

Someone please tell me "The Route of All Evil" will air on 14th, it better.

[Reply #62 on:]

Sorry Otis, the episode April 14th is still "30 % Iron Chef". Maybe it'll air the 21st (still too early to tell, according to TVGuide.com).

But tomorrow it's "A Leela Of Her Own", and I still think this will be a great episode. The synopsis at CGEF sounded pretty good. More focus on Leela rather than Blernsball.

[Reply #63 on:]

My bad, I meant to say April the 21st. Maybe tomorrow someone will know, please say it will. As for "A Leela of Her Own" I'll stay open minded.

[Reply #64 on:]

I really wanna see "A Leela of Her own", probably cause Leela my fav character.  Also i think it has the potential to be a classic episode.  Does anyone know where i can get a Trailer of the episode?  There isnt one at CGEF.

LEELA LEARNS THERE IS NO CRYING IN BLERNESBALL ON AN ALL-NEW 'FUTURAMA', SUNDAY, APRIL 7, ON FOX

Baseball Legends Bob Euker and Hank Aaron Guest Star

When Leela is signed to the New New York Mets, she is thrilled to be the first female major league blernsball player. Drawing huge crowds at the games, Leela believes she is an inspirational role model to all women. What she doesnt realize is, she has such a following because she is the worst blernsball player to ever play the game in the FUTURAMA episode "A Leela Of Her Own" airing Sunday, April 7 (7:00-7:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (FUT-316) (TV-PG)

[Reply #66 on:]

Remember from the commentaries: David Cohen (on blernsball): "It's starting to evolve a little now that we've seen it in some future episode, but uh, our goal is to keep it just out of the realm of understandability."

Original Star Trek cast members spoof their series---and its devoted followers---in this inspired fourth-season finale.

After learning that the series was banned from Earth in the 23rd century (world leaders thought the Star Trek “movement” too threatening), Fry determines to retrieve episode tapes that were sent to a forbidden planet. “The world needs Star Trek to give people hope for the future,” Fry declares. “But,” replies Leela, “it's set 800 years in the past!” Still, they proceed to Omega 3, where Fry has a trivia showdown with someone claiming to be the ultimate Trekker. Guest voices: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, George Takei, Walter Koenig and Nichelle

FUCK

Fox are such bastards if they do this, that episode was meant to air on May 5th, And I was thinking that would be an early finale. I really wanted to see "The Route of All Evil", and it would be the only season 3 episode not to air this year if they don't show it this season. I can't believe it, damn them, now I might have to wait until 2003 to see it.

No offence to anyone here, my anger is directed at Fox

[Reply #69 on:]

When I saw it on TvGuide.com I though "What the ****? The running the finale already. Gee, that must be the shortest season a tv show's ever had."

Then I looked at CGEF, that gives a grand total of 12 episodes!! Way to go FOX, that's how you create a fanbase. Air 12 shows at random intervals. I' sure chipmunks could run that network better.

[Reply #70 on:]

Just think, if done a certain way, fox could stretch it out for another two seasons.  Just show 8 next "season" and 8 the season after.

Fox must have some sort of devious plan, it's not logical to hold one season three episode over. I'm trying to work it out, why air season 4 episodes knowing that there  are season three episodes unaired, and why only leave one?

[Reply #72 on:]

Hey guys! Did you hear? FOX is ending the season earlier and... [reads sign in empty room: "Went to Destroy FOX building"] Oh, I think you already know.

[Reply #73 on:]

Hey, aren't they still going to show the rest next "season"? I don't get why everybody's upset unless the reason is that there won't be any "new" eps for a while. Then I get it.

[Reply #74 on:]

Sure they might show them all next season but I doubt it. 12 new episodes in one year doesn't cut it, especially considering that most of them were hold overs that should have already aired. We get a total of three actual Season 4 production episodes this season, WOW, how amasing when technically by now if Fox hadn't screwed the show over we would be nearing the Season 4 production finale, "Idle Hands Are the Devils Playthings".

There will be more than 12 episodes left, what makes you think they will even show that many next season?

[Reply #75 on:]

Hey, don't get mad at me. I have no idea how many eps are supposed to be shown each season. I just watch it.

[Reply #76 on:]

Sorry, I wasn't mad at you Fox are really annoying me at the moment.

The Leela Zone has a great episode guide with details for all of the upcoming Futurama episodes. When I say upcoming I mean some time in the distant future, most of them won't be for a long time unfortunately.
