i finally finished it! Raemie 19:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe, good job, it's looking great! :-) Maybe there should be some mention about how the episodes relate to the TV airings. I prefer the actual production order, but it could maybe be useful to cross-reference things for some. -- Jugalator 10:42, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We need to update the Episode pages a bit. Mainly the Season 1 episodes have the same Writer and Director for each episode. Please, if you have the time and know the person that wrote or directed the episode, update the page accordingly. -Icweiner

Episode Infobox

I created a template for the infoboxes on the episode pages. I used it for the Space Pilot 3000 page. The "Opening Subtitle" and "Opening Cartoon" parts of the infobox don't show on the infobox on the Space Pilot page. Could somebody try to work out the kinks in it and respond here? Also, on the subject of infoboxes, I also made a season one infobox, like the ones seen with The Simpsons. I'll make the Season 2, 3, and 4 versions of that infobox later. -Icweiner

I just fixed it up a bit to now show the "opening" parts, and also to attach the season box properly. -- Jugalator 11:00, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Series versus Season

Should we use "Series" or "Season", as in "Series 3" or "Season 3"? Personally, I say we should use Season as it is an American show. Also, we say "Season" on this page. -Icweiner

Yeah season is to be used as this is an american show series is used for english shows as those are the appropiate regional terms. Discordance 14:13, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Depth of Details and order

Just read Icweiners comment. I'd not say that more depth is necessary. For a quick overview this list is just perfect. If you want more information, I would suggest putting a link to Futurama_(TV_series_-_season_3) or the other seasons respectively. Also, concerning the seperation, I would suggest to arrange it according to the real air dates. IMHO, the production codes are not the measure. Wouldn't the air dates determine the order on the DVDs as well? Just some thoughts.--perelly 00:13, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The DVDs are by production code, which is the reason there are 4 volumes to the DVD releases (corresponding to the 4 production seasons) and not 5 (corresponding to the airdate seasons). In addition Fox aired an episode with Cubert in it before the episode in which Cubert is introduced, so viewers would have no idea why a new character just shows up for no reason if they watched the series in air date order.

Episode List Out Of Order

Could Anyone Resort All Of The Futurama Episodes by date beacause it is out of order. --67.34.214.196 16:51, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The episodes in the list are sorted by production order, not date. This paragraph from the article explains more: "This list is in production order, primarily because this is the order used on the DVDs and it avoids a plot inconsistency of the broadcast order in which Cubert appears before he has been released from his cloning tank." --FlyingPenguins 04:26, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Episode "The Deep South" linked incorrectly.

When you click on the link to the Deep South it links to a different article about the "South" as opposed to the actual episode synopsis. I tried to change it but alas i do not know how.

Just noting that someone else did fix this at some point. Cburnett 03:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, yeah, I fixed it. I pretty much hardwired everything that linked to The Deep South to point to the episode instead. I probably could have just changed the redirect but I wasn't sure that was appropriate. If anyone wants to link to that episode in the future they'll need to do the same.

Screenshots as fair use

In order to resolve the long standing debate over fair use of screenshots on List of Lost episodes, I am now trying to resolve the issue under the belief that the issue is an opinionated matter and not a matter of policy. Talk:List of Lost episodes#Fair use criteria number 8. I ask that people share their comments, but please try to keep the conversation in this section focused.

One thing that works against us is that the conversation tries to defend too many points at once. Try not to respond to comments about other aspects of the debate, and just take this one step at a time. Basically, respond if you think this is an opinionated matter regarding policy point 8 of WP:FUC or not.

I believe if we can break through on the issue of point 8, the rest will fall into place. -- Ned Scott 08:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

season 5

Blank Season 5 looks stupid...

I agree, anyone one else think the grid should be deleted until we at least have some more info? (such as titles and expected airdates) -- 68.37.125.87 16:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it should be removed. It's a tease!!!--Salvax 19:36, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They have been aired now. http://www.gotfuturama.com/Information/EpisodeGuide/Season5/ --89.100.174.73 11:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC) /martbhell[reply]

Season 3 DVD set

Has anyone translated the message written in Alien Language that appears just after the copyright warnings?--Ukdan999 23:58, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Order

I seriously think these should be ordered by the broadcasting order, that is the order in which it was aired in, and that's the order most familiar to fans. The production order is more of the behind-the-scenes type thing, and they list the episodes by original air-date in many other lists-of-eps, like the Simspons list. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 09:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, but the production codes for The Simpsons episodes do not necessarily indicate the air-date order (they only indicate when the episode was produced, within its season). The production codes for Futurama episodes signify the original intended broadcast order (which is the order they should be viewed in, otherwise plot holes can open). - 68.37.125.87 21:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, leaving it as-is is probably wisest. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 04:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Leave it in production order!!! The air dates mean absolutely nothing now since they will never again be aired in the exact sequence they originally were. The ordering now conforms to the DVDs which makes it easy to reference. Dukemeiser 01:19, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiquote box

If you are going to add a wikiquote box to an episode page, please place it under the episode infobox. If you don't, there is a big empty space on the page. Thanks!--Salvax 21:47, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
