Costumes from 'Yo Leela Leela'... Oh lord...

It says 'Amy in Princess Num Numii' and 'Zoidberg in Feffernoose'...

Also, not my first TOTP, but the first time I've acknowledged a TOTP! YAY TOTP!

• #110 Yo Leela Leela
      Leela becomes a Hollywood big shot after her series creation.
• #111 All the Presidents' Heads
      The crew alters history when they travel back in time.
• #112 Mobius Dick
      Leela hunts down a mysterious four-dimensional space whale.

Well, then, I guess this pretty much confirms that Leela's TV series will, in fact, be based on Yo Gabba Gabba.

I previously posted that I was worried about this episode, and I'm still somewhat worried, but hopefully the writers will pull this off well.

Not to be the most unpopular poster here, but I think "Yo Leela Leela" sounds like it will be fine. I personally really like "A Leela of Her Own" (maybe because it subverts the expectation you might have of Leela being a good athlete, and also because, I dunno, I just find it funny), so if this episode is in the same vein, I see no problem with that.

It's nice, every once in a while, to have a Leela story that's not tied up in her mutant-ness (like "Attack of the Killer App"), her relationships with Fry ("Rebirth") or Zapp ("In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela"), or some crusade she happens to be on ("The Mutants are Revolting"). Sometimes just seeing her do sort of self-serving, silly things (like in "A Leela of Her Own", sure, but also the subplot of "The Route of All Evil" or "Less Than Hero") can be fun.

That's true. I liked "Less Than Hero" and "The Route of All Evil", and I think there's been a good amount of Leela-mutant episodes, so maybe this episode might not be so bad. It'll probably be a silly episode, so hopefully there'll be a good amount of laughs.

It looks very strange indeed... Most indeededly...

yes.

[Reply #727 on:]

<Roberto> Say WHAT?!? </Roberto>

I have to wonder how Zoidberg manages to fit inside the Feffernoose costume. Then again, Amy, Fry, Leela, and Zoidberg all managed to squeeze inside an obese female human dummy in "Proposition Infinity".

I'm excited for this episode, strangely. Creeped out, too, but, a clip would make my tomorrow.

[Reply #728 on:]

I'm so confused... I don't know if I want to watch that episode from what I've read and seen of it thus far.

[Reply #729 on:]

Going by the first half of the season's episodes it's very hard to tell from the pre-airing tidbits
which episodes will be really good and the ones that will be just so-so.

[Reply #730 on:]

"Yo Leela Leela" could go either way I think in terms of... everything.

If it's anything like "A Leela of Her Own", I think we're in for a real treat. :P

[Reply #731 on:]

On the other hand, I think we are making connections becouse of the character. It might be actually something akin to  "Bender should not be allowed on TV".

[Reply #732 on:]

P.S. Thanks for explaining what they might mean by "4th-dimensional". That's certainly an interesting way to take it.

It'll be interesting to animate, too.

Futurama: The first TV show broadcast in 4-D!

(Will I need a new TV for it?)

[Reply #733 on:]

I'm expecting the situation FOA described first to be what happens when they say "4th-dimensional". A hyperwhale would not be pleasing to animate. Also, the storyline would be much more interesting if they kill it and then it reappears later in the episode. Kind of a cross between Slaughterhouse Five and River Song.

Another picture from "Yo Leela Leela":



Reminds me of Bender's furcoat look from "Raging Bender".

Maybe this episode won't be so trippy after all...

[Reply #735 on:]

Now that is pretty cool. Or Clool, as Amy or Otis may put it.

[Reply #736 on:]

Cloolsome ...

[Reply #737 on:]

Hm, no idea why, but I have a good feeling about 'Yo Leela Leela'.

[Reply #738 on:]

a month to go, a month to go... thank the maker i have game of thrones in the meantime.

[Reply #739 on:]

Bender the super pimp!!!

[Reply #740 on:]

I have to wonder how Zoidberg manages to fit inside the Feffernoose costume. Then again, Amy, Fry, Leela, and Zoidberg all managed to squeeze inside an obese female human dummy in "Proposition Infinity".

Professor: Good news, everybody! It's time to test my latest invention, the Tardis!

Bender: Neat! (takes picture)

As most can see over on the side news bars on PEEL's mainpage, Entertainment Weekly is doing a "25 Greatest Animated Series of All Time" ranking and they're asking average folk to vote. The article linked on PEEL has the writer of the section advocating Futurama as the greatest, which should help us. We're currently 4th with 7.69%, behind Simpsons (shocker), South Park, and Batman TAS and right in front of Looney Tunes and Family Guy (and somehow beating classics like Rocky and Bullwinkle and The Flintstones by miles...). The list does have a good amount of omissions (as they're giving us 25 only, so they probably already made their 25 and the voting won't matter), such as Invader Zim, Avatar, Daria, Transformers, Samurai Jack, Rocko's Modern Life, The Critic, Dr. Katz, and a host of others that arguably should be on there instead of, say, Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Archer.

Next picture from "Yo Leela Leela", depicting "Extreme Toddler Wrestling":




Maybe this whole wrestling skit is supposed to be some crazy Randy Savage tribute. This episode is turning out to be really zany based on the three bits of promotional material I've seen.

[Reply #743 on:]

I am now very excited for Yo Leela Leela if only for that one scene.

[Reply #744 on:]

And, to my mind, "zany" could mean "awesome." I'm looking forward to this one.

[Reply #745 on:]

I'm worried about it, it could go one way or the other, but if it goes wrong I fear it will be badly...

[Reply #746 on:]

I'm all excited after seeing these pictures of scenes from the new season!  I know Yo Leela Leela was going to be about her getting a kid's show.  Hopefully as I said before they'll do a Blake Edwards thing with it and make it like S.O.B.
Are there any pictures of Law and Oracle, yet?

archer is one of the greatest shows ever, brah. no need to put it down.

[Reply #748 on:]

No Clone High on that greatest animated TV Show list?

Anyway, something about Yo Leela Leela shouts out 'South Park' to me....

[Reply #749 on:]

Edit: I fail as always link already posted. Anyway vote Futurama number one using facbook.

Voted!

On a sidenote, use the power of faceook to join the P.E.E.L. group too!

[Reply #751 on:]

I've voted too.

Yes, Kurt, there are...

The episode was produced with last year's batch; nothing within these past two years will be referenced. At least purposely referenced.

Yeah, I know that (this episode was in production and announced before his death). I wasn't really being serious with that thing I said.

[Reply #754 on:]

Doesn't look too bad.  Do Bender and Zoidberg join the force, too? 

Also, that toddler wresting reminds of of those crack babies from South Park!

First picture from "All the President's Heads", featuring the British version of the PE building.

[Reply #756 on:]

OH MY GOD YES.

[Reply #757 on:]

lol this look kinda weird....

[Reply #758 on:]

Finally a Britain reference! Apparently this ep relates to the UK quite a bit...

http://bit.ly/kfgh6J

Yeah, Eric Rogers again, he's like the only guy who replies, but it's more than good enough for me.

[Reply #759 on:]

All The President's Heads looks like a fun episode!  As for those screen grabs from Law and oracle, looks like Fry might become a delivery boy for the police.  I'd be fine with that.
