New Futurama DVD Loaded With Star Wars References Posted By Carol on November 22, 2007
When the Fox Network stopped ordering episodes of Futurama in 2003, fans lamented the decision. The series, created by Matt Groening of The Simpsons fame, lasted 72 episodes, but its erratic scheduling made it hard for viewers to keep track of airings.
However, fans rejoiced when Cartoon Network acquired rights to air the show and hoped that new episodes would soon follow. Although Comedy Central won rights to air the show for 2008 and beyond, its popularity in cable inspired the old crew to gather together to create new episodes to first be released on DVD, and later aired on Comedy Central.
The first of the DVDs, Bender's Big Score, continues the tradition of the sci-fi spoof. Featured in the film are TIE Fighters, solid gold Death Stars and more. Mark Hamill also makes an appearance as the voice of the Chanukah Zombie.
Three other original DVDs will be released in 2008.
Bender's Big Score hits the shelves Tuesday November 27.
