== External links modified == == Episode List ==

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 3 external links on ]. Please take a moment to review ]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit ] for additional information. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110926204153/http://www.ugo.com/tv/futurama-facts-you-never-knew to http://www.ugo.com/tv/futurama-facts-you-never-knew
*Added archive https://archive.is/20130209112538/http://www.wgnamerica.com/shows/futurama to http://www.wgnamerica.com/shows/futurama
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100327195215/http://tv.ign.com/top-100-animated-tv-series/8.html to http://tv.ign.com/top-100-animated-tv-series/8.html


The 'Episode List' section of this page is very confusing to read. It also doesn't take into account the season layout on Disney Plus.
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.


On the wiki currently, it states that we are on Season 8. But on Disney Plus, it says we are on season 11.

Because the show is animated at 12 fps, for a Futurama episode to have 30,000 frames would require said episode to run for about 41{{frac|2|3}} minutes, when most episodes of the show only run about 22 minutes. ] (]) 04:19, 3 July 2018 (UTC) :The "Company" field is for production companies only, not distributors.

Episode List

The 'Episode List' section of this page is very confusing to read. It also doesn't take into account the season layout on Disney Plus.

On the wiki currently, it states that we are on Season 8. But on Disney Plus, it says we are on season 11.

So what information is accurate? Dr. A. McBrandy (talk) 06:26, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

See List of Futurama Episodes. We list the episodes in the season order intended by the people who made the show, not the people who air it. DonIago (talk) 07:18, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

8th or 9th production season

Another user thought the same thing I previously though about it being the 9th production season. Found out this WGA article wasn't accurate though.. I am now inclined to believe it is still in the 8th season.Speakfor23 (talk) 18:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

There is no question that it is a ninth production season. The production code at the end of the most recent episode explictly identifies it as being from the 9ACVxx production line. Riggleby (talk) 19:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Why is one user falsely claiming that Misplaced Pages limits the listing for distributors?

There are in fact many television which are similar and not so limited. The Cops page is one example.2601:449:4582:B3C0:6818:CFB2:D1C6:D0A6 (talk) 09:41, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

The "Company" field is for production companies only, not distributors. The Distributor field is no longer included in the infobox. Barry Wom (talk) 10:16, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
