I willing to contest that. Let's bet our honour!
I'll be the judge. So what's the argument on your side, contestant fellow?

My first report from Dragon*Con will be published at Toonzone.net probably by Sunday.
Unfortunately, no news about Futurama was revealed. Billy, John and Phil gave us a definite "we don't know" about the future status of the show beyond the sixth season.
And I have to say it was a pretty freaking huge big deal for me -- and a rather high honor -- to be able to serve as moderator for the panel with such a talented group of individuals. I threw some improv at the guys and they were all on top of their game.
We'll also have audio and video (professional-quality, even!) of the panel at a later date (provided there are no issues with the footage in post), so you won't have to watch shaky con fancam on Youtube.
Too bad about the lack of info, but what you gonna do. Awesome if we get to see some nice audio/video! And yeah, that is an honour. Congrats, man.

From what I've seen on PEEL, there are now four conventions for naming the seasons: - Original production order. That gives you 6 seasons, with all of the 26 new episodes being the sixth season.
- Original broadcast order. That gives you 8 seasons, with the one "still" airing as Season 7 and next summer's as Season 8.
- Augmented broadcast order. That gives you 7 seasons, with the one "still" airing as Season 6, next summer's as Season 7, and the movies as Season "0".
- Production/broadcast hybrid. That gives you 7 seasons, with the original run being 4 seasons, the movies being Season 5, the "still" airing as Season 6, and next summer's as Season 7.
The classical "correct" way to denote the seasons has been by the production order (4 original seasons, the movies as Season 5), but it seems like the new episodes are causing some trouble around here in what is the "correct" way to discuss the new seasons. Technically, if we want to go by the old "correct" convention of production seasons, that will make next summer's episodes the second half of Season 6 (or Season 6.2, if you want to be able to separate those episodes episodes from the current broadcast season). They're still 6ACVxx episodes. In short, one could call next summer's episodes any of Season 6, Season 6.2, (Hybrid or Augmented Broadcast) Season 7, or (Broadcast) Season 8. Just make sure that you don't confuse next summer's "Season 7" for the speculated Production Season 7.

I doubt they will be to be honest. A Clockwork Origin wasn't a parody of A Clockwork Orange.
Exactly. Usually the change in the parodied title denotes the matter of the episode, not the origin work's subject. Roswell That Ends Well had little to do with Shakespeare's play but everything to do with Roswell, A Fishful of Dollars had little to do with Clint Eastwood but everything to do with fish, etc. Sure, there are some that actually parody the original (Fry and the Slurm Factory), but I don't see how they're going to parody Law and Order. Moby Dick, possibly, but then again they've already made fun of it once. Then again, with the writers being giant nerds, it's possible the episode has little to do with Mobius strips. Who knows, maybe it deals with Richard Nixon (Tricky Dick). Both titles are too ambiguous to really figure out what they're about. Oh, and what does "Nine-Tenths of a Zoidberg Is Underwater" parody? I'm assuming this is the Zoidberg origin episode. Also, I feel like the episode will be on par with "Why Must I Be A Crustacean in Love?" and "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back" (a pretty good but not great episode) just because their long titles give them that feel.
