Good News, Everyone! Celebrate Futurama's Return With The Lost Xbox/PS2 Episode
June 24, 2010
The beloved sci-fi animated series Futurama returns tonight in the United States at 10:00pm ET on Comedy Central with new episodes, but before jumping into the rebirth of the series, take a step back and check out the so-called lost episode that is comprised of the cinematics from the 2003 video game for the Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation 2. Written by the original writers and featuring performances from the talented cast, this adventure takes Fry, Leela, Bender, and the rest across time and space to undo Professor Farnsworth's decision to sell Planet Express to Mom. The compiled scenes are featured as a special extra on the Beast With A Billion Backs DVD, but of course someone has placed it on YouTube in four parts. Be sure to check out the DVD version as well, as it has commentary from the creators that provide some insight on adapting the series into the gaming realm.
