Holy crap! This came out of nowhere! Thanks for the heads-up, Boxy Robot. Awesome news! Hopefully the season 7B DVD/Blu-ray release isn't too far away! With new Simpsons starting tonight too, "Simpsorama" should be shown over here on the 7th December.

This is great news, I didn't expect to hear about this until way into next year! I want to finish my Futurama Blu-Ray collection...
Although, when on earth will we ever get Simpsorama on Blu-Ray? I dread to think...

That's a good point, hopefully then. Although why are The Simpsons sets in the UK only released on DVD and not Blu-Ray? In America they get both. Makes me think that even if we do get Simpsorama on an earlier set it'll just be DVD only in the UK ...

I'd imagine it'd come out in some sort of Simpsons collection thingy before the season 26 dvd finally gets released. It's also possible we'll get another Monster Robot Maniac collection for the Comedy Central era of Futurama, in which case, I'd be willing to bet that the episode is included as a bonus extra.
Didn't know about the bonus episodes on the last two Simpsons dvds, though. Is that on all the editions, or just the UK version?

Couldn't help notice that a scene was cut from the episode they aired yesterday, most likely because of the earlier time it was shown. It's when the PE ship returns to the 3rd dimension & Bender hops out, lights 4 cigars at once and says "We're back, baby!" They probably cut it because it shows drug use? Also, next week's ep is on even earlier, at 6:30pm. Expect to see even more cut scenes.

I don't know what things are like in the UK, but that seems like an incredibly stupid thing to censor.
Well, every single season of South Park released on DVD here has been rated 15 except for season 7, which is rated 18 purely because of the "Butt Out" episode, which features lots of smoking. I recall season 6A having a few cut scenes back when it aired in the UK in 2011, such as Fry's "penis" line in Rebirth, but I'm pretty sure it aired before 8pm. 8pm onwards seems to be the time they allow more mature stuff.

The only episode of South Park that's rated 18 is "The Brown Noise" from season 3 and it's because of the subplot where Mr. Garrison is upset that his dad didn't molest him as a child, which is fair enough if you ask me.
It still seems weird that they'd single that one out though, seeing as the show tackled the subject of molestation in multiple episodes afterwards, to a much more severe degree. And yeah, we have similar censorship rules in Australia. 8:30pm's our watershed for "adult content," though you can't show PG-rated stuff before 7pm, meaning they'd have to cut episodes of The Simpsons down to a G (the daily repeats were on at 6pm, though of course, when the same episodes aired again in later timeslots, they'd be restored, at least). Weird little things like that would get cut out all the time.

It's rated 18 because of the "C" word in the "Raisins" episode.
Seems like a bizarre reason (if it's true, of course), given that they weren't technically saying the word... Granted, it was a very clever way around the censors, but still. They've done worse.

My TV let me view the schedule for Sunday the 25th Jan, the slot where new Futurama should be just says "To Be Announced", that it's a "special" and that it first aired on 10/04/10. Odd.

The slot now says that "The Bots and the Bees" is going to be shown again. I'm not too bothered anyway, the 7B Blu-ray is out at the start of next month.
