"Route of All Evil" to finally air!

[:]

Looks like the last of the 3rd-season holdovers will finally air on December 8... if you're lucky enough not to have a football game scheduled.

Which I am. 

[#1 :]

Ooh, December 8. I should have cable by then.

I'm not talking about the TV variety either...

[#2 :]

Please let there be no 4:00 game shown in my area on the 8th.

[#3 :]

::Checks TVGuide.com::
No 4 o' clock game on one FOX channel, I think Buffalo
::Cries with joy::

[#4 :]

Looks like Dwight will be voiced by "Bumper Robinson":

[#5 :]

Cool, I just remembered I haven't heard Dwights voice yet 

[#6 :]

It's been a very long time coming, but AT LAST it's finally going to air! 

[#7 :]

It's probably pretty bad if they've held it back this long. But we shall be the judges of that...

[#8 :]

This is Fox Ben.

Therefore applying the logic above the episode should be brilliant.

[#9 :]

'bout damn time.  I'm glad the rumors about no new episodes til 2003 were wrong.

[#10 :]

Finally! I wonder what made FOX air it already. A blinding flash of the obvious? At least we get to see this Dwight guy as a character, not just a background appearance.

[#11 :]

Woo-hoo!  No football on Fox in Dallas that night per TVguide.com.  Three!!! Count 'em!! Three episodes on my Futurama Season 5 tape!!

I'm almost afraid of how happy I'll be in 20 or 30 years when they release the DVDs (or by then a single NIDO - Neural Interface Data Orb) of the series here in the U.S.

[#12 :]

I really can't wait for this episode. Maybe most people hate Cubert, but I think his snotty brat comments rule! 

[#13 :]

I'm wary of any FOX promises. Last time Futurama aired, it went into overtime and the episode was never shown, nor repeated. And then they have the gall to discourage internet copies of the show?

[#14 :]

I hope they show an advert for this soon, and I hope it has Dwight in it. I really want to see a frame grab from the ad on CGEF, and hopefully see what Dwights actual clothes are normally like. In ' A Leela of her Own' he had a blernsball uniform on, and in 'AOI II' he was dressed up as a munchkin.

[#15 :]

Ads? For Futurama? On, like, FOX? Perhaps in the Bizarro World...

[#16 :]

What? That's not Bizarroworld we're living in?

Aww crap...

I know Fox barely ever advertise the show, but earlier this year I asked where the pictures for episodes on CGEF came from, and I was told they were taken from adverts...

Finally, someone else who wants to see more Cubert. I think he's really an underappriciated character, and shame on all of you for not liking him!    And, as has already been said, it'd like to see if Dwight is worth all the build we've given him.

You can see it on the December 2002 calendar.

Clicky

As for FOX making Futurama ads, this would be the result:

Dammit Kryten, I keep thinking you're wanker with that avitar! I'm scanning your posts for dirty words and coming up blank.

[#21 :]

[sarcasum]Oh WOO-HOO! A game in the BUFFALO area, oh great, just what I ALWAYS WANTED!! Could that BEEE any cooler???[/sarcasum]

[#22 :]

I think my charmed life is about to come to an end.  I got the first two eps this season, but this week I lose out to, get this: LIONS-CARDINALS!!!  The epic matchup of the two best teams in the league!  With that special ingredient, "injury-depletion," no less!

Do any fellow Michiganders out there know if Fox Detroit will be broadcasting Futurama later that night, as I have heard has been happening elsewhere this season?

[#23 :]

I hate hate hate Buffalo (NY). The people there are such a bunch of arrogant assholes. They think their hot shit because they refer to themselves as Western New Yorkers. Morons. They also have annoying accents, which may be why I think a lot of americans have accents. They sound like a bunch of mini Fran's. (As in Fran from the Nanny).

[#24 :]

Wouldn't it be cool if this Cubert heavy episode, just like 'A Clone of my Own' had a big piece of eye candy in the form of a CGI scene  Maybe something with them using the P.E Ship delivering papers on some far away planet, or something...

[#25 :]

does anyone know if there is football in orlando?

If football is listed on your FOX affiliate, you are boned
If there is no football listed, you can be sure you will be seeing some hot Cubert-Dwight action

[#27 :]

As of now, Indy and the surrounding areas are going to have Futurama on Sunday. That is, of course, if the Seattle v. Philadelphia game gets done in time. Knowing my luck, however...it won't.   

We can keep hoping, though.

Maybe an homage to the arcade-game Paper Boy?

Anybody remember that game? Sorry, just a mental association process at work here.

[#29 :]

I remember playing that game during the very early 90s at a friends house. What a cool idea 

[#30 :]

There's a 4:00 game on FOX in my area sunday which means a 99.7% chance I won't see this.  Looks like I might not see any Futuram until after the Super Bowl.
