Lee, listen very carefully.  FOX are NOT showing "Less Than Hero" every week during the whole of March.  What CyberKnight meant was that for the whole of March, "Less Than Hero" would be the last episode FOX had aired.

Yeah I know why the hell do they sing a song about her boobs

I guess its like they say in The Simpsons (I forget the episode)

"I never noticed how Fox turned into a hard core porn channel, it happened so slowley"

I am not sure if that is the exact quote but it goes something like that.

I haven't watched a single episode of the Simpsons since the beginning of last year when Fox decided not to order any new episodes of Futurama.  It wasn't entertaining anymore to me and I would rather not be reminded of the crap Fox will support while killing such great shows like Futurama.

It's pretty bad now that football season is over and yet you still have to consult your magic eight ball just to figure out if you will get to see a Futurama episode on Fox this week.

Right Thank you. Man I was Tired. I came on here last night some time read that and got it wrong. Well I've had my sleep!

[Reply #46 on:]

I got the news paper's TV guide and it says that Futurama is going to be on.

I wish they were right.

[Reply #47 on:]

What newspaper?

[Reply #48 on:]

Anyway, if you watch fox and see if there is Fuutrama at wharever time it shows then you have you questioned answered. (Will Futurama be shown this weekend?)

[Reply #49 on:]

I've given up on quoting dates found on the web, but at the very least it appears pretty sure that "The Why of Fry" will be the next episode to appear after TMLH. The bad news? (aside from the appalling scheduling) - TVTome (http://www.tvtome.com/Futurama/season5.html) states that FOX is probably looking for another early season finale this year, and TWOF would make a make-do finale. This would also leave FOX with 8 more episodes, which, while still the shortest season of Futurama yet (by 1 episode), would no doubt be enough in their minds to warrant a "Season 6".
Of course, this is all just rumour, which (annoyingly) is all we have at the moment. It would fit the FOX mindset, however.

I'm telling ya, we need to direct the SAS to rescue the eps.

[Reply #50 on:]

Well, did Futurama show in America. It sure did here!

[Reply #51 on:]

Lee, I'm pretty sure it didn't. It would have been posted on CGEF and we would have seen plenty of posts about it here on PEEL.

No doubt some brave PEELers took the risk of seeing "Large Marge" to check whether Futurama was on  .

[Reply #52 on:]

CyberKnight -

I did, it was, and I turned the TV back off.

And in today's "Yeah, right" news - TVGuide.com shows "Teenage Leela" in two weeks on March 30th.  For the record, they also showed it for March 16th up until a week or so ago, so this is 100% "I'll believe it when I see it" info.

[Reply #53 on:]

It better show for all the Americans out there!

Sounds like a recurring dream I have.

[Reply #55 on:]

Besides, I'm afraid that the upcoming war against Iraq will have some negative impact as well.

[Reply #56 on:]

I've been having that thought too. I can very easily see FOX pre-empting Futurama for any of these shows:

[sarcasm]
When Missiles Go Bad
World's Deadliest Carpet Bombings
Missile! Stop
[/sarcasm]

I'm sorry if it sounds callous, but is it really so much of a stretch of the imagination?

[Reply #57 on:]

The Simpson's rerun Large Marge scored a 5.1, the lowest rating a Simpson episode has recevied all season long.  That is 0.1 higher than the non-advertised Less Than Hero, it seems less and less people want to see Simpson reruns on Futurama's old timeslot.

Hey Fox, move Futurama on Fastlane's time slot, hardly anyone watches that show, even the Pulse would have higher rating on that timeslot than that show.   

[sarcasm]Like Fox is here [\sarcasm]

I Like that episode I what to download it! Where can I download it?

Hey Downloads are illegal and hurt Matt G. and David X C. more than Fox.

[Reply #60 on:]

How do they hurt, what if you have already seen every single one of the episodes on TV.  That way you have already paid your dues commerical wise.  What is the difference between downloading it and having recorded it yourself?

Stop asking about that!! I've already told you once, it's against the forum rules.

A man can dream though... a man can dream...

I'm writing another letter to Fox, just for the hell of it. Trying to squeeze some information out of them 

[Reply #63 on:]

Futurama might not be showing this weekend but next weekend Fox are showing a new episode that everyone has been talking about :
 

Originally on the fox  Schedule for Futurama 30/03/03

FUTURAMA
Visit the Futurama web site
 
THE PLANET EXPRESS GANG DISCOVERS A FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH ON AN ALL- NEW 'FUTURAMA' MAR. 30 ON FOX

When Fry and the Planet Express gang realize that at 161 years old, the Professor has become too crotchety to handle, they decide he needs to be "youth-a-sized". Traveling to an asteroid, they register the Professor at a posh resort where their full-body bath in searing hot tar is guaranteed to turn back the clock. Through a series of unfortunate accidents, the bath covers not only the Professor but also everyone else and all are affected by the treatment. Back at Planet Express, a now 53-year-old Professor tries to keep a now 13-year -old Fry and other kids under control while looking for a way to reverse the effects of the tar treatment. Meanwhile, "the kids" all react to their newfound youth, including Leela, who decides she could have a taste of the childhood she never had as an orphan on FUTURAMA episode "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles " Sunday, Mar. 30 (7:00-7:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (FUT-409) (TV-PG)

Voice Cast: Billy West as Fry, Professor Farnsworth, Zapp Brannigan, Dr. Zoidberg and Nixon; Katey Sagal as Leela; John DiMaggio as Bender, and Lauren Tom as Amy.

(READER'S NOTE: This original FUTURAMA episode was postponed from an earlier date)

At least Fox have tired! Thank god for that!   

[Reply #64 on:]

Don't get too excited yet, Lee. FOX already bumped that episode twice (three times if you count the Oscars) so it'll be a little miracle if it airs.

[Reply #65 on:]

If they don't show it, I'll be personally sending FOX a letter bomb or two..

So far the odds are 3251 to 9 against.

Bets, anyone?

I'll take that it won't be shown.

Damn you Fox, just release the eps to CN!

Looks like we're in for a treat for the next 3 weeks at least! Go to GCEF for more information!
 Plus, as I'm sure it's already been said, tonight on sky one we have Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch, on Fox Teenage Mutant Leela Hurdles!

[Reply #71 on:]

Argh...too...many...exclamati on...marks...losing...conciou sness...

At the very least, tonight FOX will almost certainly show TMLH. Whether the other episodes will be shown is debatable.

[Reply #72 on:]

i think they'll show it too.
bonnevie to all

Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles will show on Fox tonight. I seen it and it's cool

[Reply #76 on:]

I'm downloading Teenage Mutant Leela Hurdles later, but ow watching Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch I fill sick! I wonder what episode is on next week!.... Maybe it's Less Than A Hero

[Reply #77 on:]

He never learns.... .

Sky are following the airing order of FOX so far Lee, and with only 2 episodes (currently) to choose to air next, I would highly doubt they would deviate from that schedule.
