Futurama News after 6ACV26 (Reincarnation)

Let's hope that all 13 are good.

Let's hope that all 26 are good!

[Reply #602 on:]

Let's hope that all 26 are good as well as every single episode from subsequent seasons that may get greenlit in the future.

[Reply #603 on:]

I'm doubtful that every single episode will be great.

But... just imagine a Season where every ep is on par with TLFJF. 

That would be amazing...

[Reply #604 on:]

Lets hope that there aren't any bad episode, and a minimum of 7/10. And I would love 2 10/10s in the same broadcast season.

[Reply #605 on:]

What do you mean by that? Two 10/10's for you, or from the general opinion of PEEL? Or from *shudder* IGN?

[Reply #606 on:]

In the eyes of the viewers, TLPJF was incredible. It got mostly 10s, and some 9s. Some idiots gave it an 8...

I'm not sure if any episode can beat TLPJF, but something like Ocw or CW.

[Reply #607 on:]

Even one 10/10 in 7A would be really good going for me seeing as as far as I'm concerned, 6B didn't even have a single episode that good.

The last 10/10 I gave was 'The Late Philip J. Fry'.

[Reply #608 on:]

My last 10 was Reincarnation.  I also gave Ocw, CW, MD,  and FATEM 10s. (I ed FATEM!)

[Reply #609 on:]

The only 10's I gave in Season 6 were The Late Philip J. Fry and Cold Warriors.

The Prisoner of Benda and Overclockwise were 10's, but then I upped my standards.

10's or not, they were still both excellent episodes!

[Reply #611 on:]

I'm just going to keep realistic expectations. Probably most of them will be kinda good, with a few great ones, and a few bad ones (hopefully not many.)

[Reply #612 on:]

My honest expectations are that season 7 will be an ever so slight step down from season 6. Still fantastic, you understand - just ever so slightly less fantastic.

I think it might have more overall consistency but I'd also be surprised if we get another episode as good as 'The Late Philip J. Fry'. Sort of like 6B compared to 6A, I guess. So lots of people might prefer the season to 6.

Not really... You wouldn't be able to have a fave episode, and no show on the planet has a Season where every episode is amazing.

[Reply #614 on:]

Not being able to have a favourite because every episode is so good is not an bad thing unless you're from opposite land.

And just because it doesn't happen and won't happen doesn't mean that it wouldn't be amazing.

Ask Xanfor, his screen can orient into all sorts of positions!...

Nice pics, looks like fun. As for Season 7, I think it'll perhaps be a little better than Season 6, simply because they've got back into their groove now. They have no excuses of not working for years and trying to get back into it. Season 7 should theoretically be the best season left in the show...

[Reply #617 on:]

And 8 and 9 and 10... And maybe more.

Xanfor, we need you!

3 10's 4 9's, and 6 8's. That would be amazing!

[Reply #619 on:]

Personally I think every episode in Season 1 is amazing. Sure saying Mars University is amazing might be stretching it a bit, but it's a damn fine ep and everything else is even better!...

Mars University( 8/10 ) was good (In My Opinion...), but it probably the worst of Season 1. But I agree with you completely: Season 1 was amazing. To start off, the pilot was one of the best pilots I've ever seen (also 30 Rock). From there, the show took a strong start with lots of humor, and well, Futurama stuff! It felt a little corny at times, but heck, it was only the first 13 episodes! But FaTSF was a great finale that topped off some Futurama's best humor! Season 1 was great...

Mars University has one of the most awesome Futurama things ever: The remixed intro.

The  beatbox one from "Spanish Fry" is pretty cool too!

[Reply #623 on:]

My favourite pilot is the one made for 'Breaking Bad'.

But 'Futurama' certainly has one of the best sitcom pilots I've ever seen with regards to how it basically hits the ground running. Most sitcoms take a few episodes to find their groove.
But that said, I don't think 'Space Pilot 3000' is a particularly good episode when compared to the rest of the show's canon.

Right on brother, it had to cover a lot of ground, and it covered all of it! I would normally say 8/10, but because it was a pilot, I would even say 9/10

I wouldn't rate it too highly myself.

It does do an excellent job of setting up the story and introducing the characters, but it isn't terribly funny. I saw the first three episodes together a few days ago, and only "I, Roommate" stands out among the three.

[Reply #627 on:]

"At least here in the future you'll be treated with dignity. Now strip naked and get on the probulator." "We have you partially surrounded." "'Keep your nose out of this, eyeball.' 'Nobody makes fun of my nose!'" I could go on...

[Reply #628 on:]

You could go on. But the list of funny moments would be much longer for other episodes.

[Reply #629 on:]

That's because the pilot set up the show so well, that it basically found it's path in the first episode! Or at least I think so...

[Reply #630 on:]

I suppose that there's some things in the pilot that may have been funny the first time, but we've gotten so used to seeing them in other episodes that they feel normal. Things like the suicide booth and head museum.

Eric Rogers just revealed that episode 7ACV17, the episode that he wrote, will have the animatic screened tomorrow, January 25th, 2012.

There was also a screenshot from the reading. It appears that it was also "bring your child to work day" as well!

[Reply #632 on:]

I already posted that above, Frida.

Sweet three-toed-sloth of Ice-Planet Hoth!...

Eric:

7ACV13 animatic was just freaking awesome. Weeks don't get much better than having a table read & animatic on back to back days. #futurama

[Reply #635 on:]

This is the best I could do with the above image:



The closest match among the known episode titles is "31st Century Fox" but none of them really match the image.

[Reply #636 on:]

I don't think the name has been released in any way yet because it's in 7B. Still, I could be wrong...


The last word looks like two X's, ice, or you. I can't decide!

[Reply #637 on:]

Good work, Mongo!

The first word looks like it might be "Production" which suggests the time line might just be "Production Code 7ACV17" or something similar with the smaller bit of writing below being the title.

But the last word of that top row looks like "You".

[Reply #638 on:]

Does anyone else know what these final scripts actually look like? If so, we could figure out where the actual title is...

[Reply #639 on:]

Good plan.



So the top row almost certainly says "Production Script No. 7ACV17".

The episode title is below and I'd say there's no chance of us reading that.
