That’s a Lot of Benders
Speaking of cartoons on tonight, Futurama returns for its second season on Comedy Central and sixth season overall at 10pm EST. There will be two new episodes: the first being “Neutopia,” where the Planet Express crew has their genders switched (not just Bender this time!), and “Benderama,” where Bender gets the ability to make tiny duplicates of himself… as do the duplicates. Blastr has a “Neutopia” clip that didn’t do much for me, but the “Benderama” clip above makes me think Futurama is 100% back on track. Anyways, don’t forget to watch/set your DVRs/whatever the hell you kids do nowadays.
