To tide you over until then, here's Zapp Brannigan to bring you up to speed on The Story So Far:

I missed this show so, so much.

Some minimal spoilers. (There will be more nudity on the show.)
If you've ever listened to the Futurama DVD commentaries, David Cohen is a very bright fellow and he's run a good ship on Futurama the last 12 years against some daunting challenges. I don't think he'll ever get the credit he deserves - and I mean the Trey Parker/Matt Stone, Seth McFarlane level of credit - but I really believe Cohen is right up there with those guys as one of television's all-time great writer-executive producer-showrunners.

| #5 Posted on 24.6.10 1433.08 | Instant Rating: 8.51 | Lemme see if I've got this straight:
First there is the 2-hour "straight to DVD" movie titled "Into the Wild Green Yonder". That's showing up as 4 half-hour chunks, called episodes 801-804. Has that ever been broadcast on TV before?
Then, immediately after that, are the 2 half-hour, new episodes, numbered 601 & 602, which have never been disseminated on any media.
Have I got that right? | CRZ

Nope. The four straight-to-DVD movies (of which "Into the Wild Green Yonder" is the fourth and final) make up a 16 episode "season 5" (which is technically season 6 because FOX spread out 4 seasons' worth of episodes over five broadcast years, but there has been some retroactive regrouping to knock it back down to 4 seasons of FOX + 1 season of movies).
Here, just go look at Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org). ;-)

I watched them Tuesday night and thought

| the first reset episode was OK for what it was, 2nd was quite good. And yeah - noted the increase in nudity |
Above - not an actual spoiler, just my opinion on the overall show without any specifics. |
