TEN is returning new episodes of Futurama to our screens.
It returns at 7:30pm Thursday June 19, followed by a repeat episode at 8pm. The comedy will push Don’t Forget the Lyrics out of schedule.
“Bender’s Big Score” is part of a DVD film release in 2007 which Comedy Central split into 4 episodes, airing in March 2008 in the US. The second of these, “The Beast with a Billion Backs” is due for DVD release in the US later this month.
No word when, or if, Lyrics will return. Last time it aired it had 769,000 viewers -fourth in its timeslot.

I said you need to watch all four episodes IN SEQUENCE; not necessarily back-to-back. Thing is, Ten will be airing repeats straight after the new episodes…
i.e.
7.30pm Futurama (New)
8.00pm Futurama (Rpt)
…and I think a lot of viewers will be left confused as storylines in the current series carry over to subsequent episodes (almost like a soapie
).
You don’t need to watch all four episodes in order to understand it, the whole idea was to split them up to act as the new season. They might have a recap when the next episode airs anyway, can’t see it going without one…
OMG! WOW!
This is MUCH sooner than I expected.
You’d think that TEN would’ve at least waited for the second movie to come out before jumping into screening new eps seeing as that they only have 4 new episodes under their belt.
Plus, it’s incredibly stupid of TEN to be screening a repeat straight after the new Futurama episode seeing as that you need to watch all four parts in sequence in order to fully understand the story. :/
Idiots.
I’ve already bought and watched this on DVD but it’s a brilliant return and I’m glad that Channel 10 are giving viewers less avid than myself a chance to see it.
Yeah, that was a really funny movie. Don’t miss it.
Yay!!! This show rocks!
Benders big score is a classic and soooo happy that the show has returned.
Bender is brilliant
B-E-N….. DERRRRRRRRRRRR!
