Futurama Watch: Season 7, Episode 17 — cinemablend.com

"Any Resemblance To Actual Future Is Purely Coincidental" For some reason, once Futurama was resurrected by Comedy Central they started splitting the animated comedy into two-part seasons and, just before it returned to small-screens for the second half of the seventh, the network revealed that this run would be the series' final stretch. To be fair, so far Season 7B hasn't been anywhere near the multiple Emmy Award winning show's usually high quality with the special one hour, two episode premiere ( "2-D Blacktop" and "Fry and Leela's Big Fling") being pretty mediocre before another good but by no means great installment the following week ("T.: The Terrestrial"). Maybe, since they know that cancellation is on the horizon, Comedy Central has saved the best till the end? Well, the end is nigh because, after the much improved "Forty Percent Leadbelly," four of the show's final thirteen episodes have already aired meaning there's only a single-digit number of new Futuramas left. Forever! Probably?! Who knows? A few more promising installments like last night's solid (half-)musical just might persuade another network to pick up the show.
