It seems like such an ordinary number – so why does it show up so frequently?

We're beyond lucky to have Futurama back for a miraculous seventh season, after all the cancellation scares it's had over the years. To celebrate the show's uncanny survival, we've rounded up the 10 episodes where Futurama is at its most hilarious, most cosmic, most emotional, and most brilliant.

Futurama returns tonight for an amazing seventh season. But what if you've never watched the show, or just lost track of all the changes the lovable gang of misfits has been through over the years? We've got you covered.

There are only five episodes remaining to Futurama's sixth season, and we managed to see a lot of them at the show's Comic-Con panel. Including the entirety of an insanely funny anime segment!

Yesterday's episodes of Futurama gave us an intentionally cliched battle of the sexes, followed by the ultimate tribute to Bender's world-destroying laziness. While neither episode was perfect, they provided a funny, thought-provoking, and wonderfully disturbing launch for the latest season.

Futurama returns tonight for another thirteen episodes worth of 31st century craziness. In honor of the show's latest triumphant return, we recommend the 10 episodes where Futurama is at its most hilarious, most cosmic, most emotional, and most brilliant.

...and they're good! Futurama makes its Comedy Central debut until tomorrow, but we've had a sneak peek at the first two outings. It looks like there's plenty of life left in everyone's favorite animated scifi comedy that refuses to die.

Holy crap. It looks like the rumors were true. Futurama is BACK.

Confirming yesterday's rumor, Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello Files confirms that Comedy Central is reviving Futurama — and not just for 13 episodes, but for 26. In a jar somewhere, the disembodied head of Al Gore is smiling.

I just bombarded Futurama's co-creator David X. Cohen with some very important questions, including what he would name his Roomba, why he's not afraid of robots and what Futurama's chances are for renewal. (Spoiler: 50/50.)

If you've been wondering what to do with yourself between now and the end of the year, you might think about tuning in to the Cartoon Network, where you can watch every single episode of Futurama starting at 11pm tonight, and running until 11:30pm December 31st.
