John DiMaggio voices several OUT THERE characters, chief among them Wayne. The New Jersey-born actor is a star in the animation voice performance world, playing Bender on FUTURAMA, plus characters in WRECK-IT RALPH, TANGLED, the TV series THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR, various iterations of BEN 10, BATMAN, SPIDERMAN and a host of other projects.

Stars (voices): Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Phil LaMarr, Lauren Tom, Dave Herman Writer: Ken Keeler Director: Peter Avanzino Network: Comedy Central, Wednesday nights Airdate: July 25, 2012 Hermes gets an episode all to his own with “The Six Million Dollar Mon”, an incredibly deranged and incredibly weird episode of FUTURAMA that results in some pretty oddball subplots. Being Planet Express’s efficiency expert, Hermes does a staff evaluation saying he’s going to fire the most useless person on staff. What he discovers is that he should be the one that’s fired. After his firing, […]Read On »

TV Review: FUTURAMA – Season 7 – “Decision 3012”

Verrone Network: Comedy Central, Wednesday nights Airdate: June 27, 2012 It was a smart move by the FUTURAMA writers to use this year’s election to do their own sci-fi take on campaigning and how society views on voting for a President just never change. And “Decision 3012” is a smart piece of political satire, even if it isn’t the type of laugh-out-loud funny we come to expect from the show. The concept is simple. The […]Read On »

The episode begins with weird weather patterns and results in Fry inadvertently discovering an ancient “Mayan” temple underneath the earth. What they […]Read On »

When Planet Express installs a new beverage vending machine named Bev (voiced by Wanda Sykes), a love/hate relationship develops between her and Bender which results in some rough mechanical sex. Very quickly, a little hybrid robot […]Read On »

TV Review: FUTURAMA – Season 6B – “Reincarnation” – Season Finale

The Planet Express gang goes retro in FUTURAMA - Season 6B - "Reincarnation" | Futurama TM and ©2011 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. All Rights Reserved

Stars (voices): Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche Writer: Aaron Ehasz Director: Peter Avanzino Network: Comedy Central, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: September 8, 2011 When FUTURAMA decides to do one of its three-segment special episodes, it’s always worth looking forward to and the Season 6B finale “Reincarnation” is one of its best yet. Taking three totally different animated styles, FUTURAMA re-invents itself in tone and storytelling with each segment progressively getting weirder and weirder. It’s a geek haven with the first segment kicking things off in black in white in that old Max Fleischer […]Read On »

Dr. Zoidberg and the Professor in FUTURAMA - Season 6B - "Tip of the Zoidberg" | Futurama TM and ©2011 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. All Rights Reserved

Stars (voices): Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche Network: Comedy Central, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: August 18, 2011 Original, funny, and interesting, it seems like the writers heard our cry that we were fed up with the bland FUTURAMA versions of old classics.  This week, in “The Tip of the Zoidberg” they actually made up a storyline from scratch.  It’s also a great back story that explains a good deal, and does so with some hilarious lines. The show starts off with Dr. Zoidberg (voiced by Billy West) treating the crew of the Planet […]Read On »

We start off with Leela (voiced by Katey Sagal), Fry (voiced by Billy West) and Bender (voiced by John DiMaggio) taking […]Read On »

Our story starts out as Farnsworth (voiced by Billy West) intends to have the family of his first crew at a memorial service to commemorate their first mission in which they […]Read On »
