Simpsons Channel has been updating you on the brief comings and goings of Futurama since the show began, so it seems fitting to announce that the first of four feature-length episodes hits DVD around North America tomorrow.
The episode titled ‘Bender’s Big Score’ is a fantastic return to form for the show. After watching, you’ll begin to wonder why the show was axed and foremost why this episode wasn’t released to theaters alongside The Simpsons Movie. The first new episode since the show’s four year absence has all the ingredients which will make it one of the best Futurama episodes you’ll ever see. It is a delightful adventure into the past, present and future of planet earth featuring all the characters you already know and love as well as some new.
This along with the other to-be-released DVDs will eventually be spliced into individual episodes (one wonders just how) to air on Comedy Central next year. You can pick it up in stores tomorrow or purchase online at Amazon.
