Episodes to Look for This Summer

Most Futurama fans now know that when Futurama was renewed in June 2009, they were picked up for 26 brand new episodes, the first thirteen of which aired between June 24 and November 21 last year. The second half of the episode order was announced on February 3 to begin airing with the first episode of the new season, "The Silence of the Clamps" on June 23 at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central.

The following are the thirteen episodes that fans can look for this summer. The premise of select episodes have been described in minor detail, so fans can contemplate what to expect from these episodes for the next few months:

6ACV14-The Silence of the Clamps (Originally titled, "Bend on a Wire" airing June 23, 2011):

Bender witnesses a crime committed by the Robot Mafia and enters witness protection.

6ACV15-Mobius Dick (airdate unknown: Presumably either June 23 or June 30, 2011)

The crew encounters a dangerous four-dimensional space whale.

6ACV16-Law and Oracle

Fed up with his go-nowhere job, Fry joins the police force.

6ACV17-Benderama

The Professor invents a machine that takes in any object and creates two half-sized copies. Tasked with folding a series of sweaters replicated by the machine, Bender looks for a shortcut to lighten the workload and replicates himself using the machine. This very quickly gets out of hand and before long there are trillions of increasingly smaller copies of Bender creating further copies until they threaten to consume all matter on Earth.

6ACV18-The Tip of the Zoidberg

This functions as an origin episode. The fans will finally learn the secret of how Professor Farnsworth first met Dr. Zoidberg.

6ACV19-Ghost in the Machines

After Bender dies, his software takes on a ghostly existence.

6ACV20-Neutopia

The crew crash-lands on a planet where gender is unknown.

6ACV21-Yo Leela Leela

No episode description available, but the episode title is an obvious parody of Yo Gabba Gabba!

6ACV22-Fry am the Egg Man

No description available, episode title is a parody of the lyric "I am the egg man" in the Beatles' song "I Am the Walrus".

6ACV23-All the Presidents' Heads

The episode sees Fry licking George Washington's head and it sending him on a "trip" back to the Revolutionary War. Richard Nixon (voiced by Billy West) will also play a role. It is being speculated that the other crew members will also go on their own respective "trips" to other presidential eras.

6ACV24-Cold Warriors

This episode is being kept heavily under wraps. Only the episode's title and it's writer (Dan Vebber) have been announced. The title could be a reference to "Cold Warrior" a Cold War-era magazine that Fry's father was seen reading in Episode 3ACV04-"The Luck of the Fryrish".

6ACV25-Overclockwise

No description available.

6ACV26-Reincarnation (originally titled "Resurrection")

Season Finale, presumed to be the Series Finale (unless the information Katey Sagal relayed is true and the show has been picked up for another season). The show will follow their traditional "Anthology of Interest" three-minisode format and will re-envision the series in three different animation styles: Black and white Fleischer style (think Steamboat Willie), low-resolution video game style, and anime action style.

As with anticipated finales that came before, "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings" and "Into the Wild Green Yonder", Co-Executive Producer Ken Keeler has been tasked with writing this episode.

There you have it fans, let the speculation commence. Remember, the second half of Season 6 or 7 (depending on how you interpret it) begins Thursday, June 23 at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central
