As much as I love Futurama, the new DVD movies always leave me thinking about what could have been. Not that there is anything wrong with them, just how much better it would be if the show had received a Family Guy like reprieve and went back to full series form. Alas, it wasn't meant to be, yet. I still hold out hope that if the DVDs do well enough, that door could open up again. Fry and the gang are aging remarkably well, after all.
Enough about what could have been though, let's talk about what will be. That, of course, is The Beast With A Billion Backs. The next installment in the Futurama DVD line will be available at hundreds of fine retail establishments, and three shady ones, on June 24th. There's a planet-sized alien, a league of robots, and one of the Planet Express crew will head up a brand new religion. If that's not enough to capture your interest, have a look at the trailer after the jump and learn a wondrous new word. Gentacles.
I didn't think Bender's Big Score was funny enough either. Particularly since the time traveling messed with the continuity in The Luck of the Fryish. But the commentary was awesome. Love me some Futurama commentary. And Bender. I'm always up for more Bender.
I just about found Benders Big Score to be too much of a good thing. I couldn't help thinking I'd rather watch this play out over a couple of half hour episodes, rather than main lining the straight dope.
