Stars (voices): Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Phil LaMarr, Lauren Tom, Dave Herman Writer: Dwayne Carey-Hill Director: Patric M. 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 »

Maurice LaMarche, alongside fellow voice actress Tress MacNeille are the utility players for Comedy Central’s FUTURAMA animated series now entering its Seventh Season. Now only do they have recurring characters they voice (for LaMarche it’s Kif Kroker, Calculon, Lrrr), they’re always coming up with new voices to fill out the show’s unique universe of science-fictional crazies. “I am one of the utility voice players on the show,” explains LaMarche. “I’m the male Tress MacNeille. She does more voices including one offs and recurring than anyone else on the show. Somebody did a website of how many characters each [voice actor […]Read On »

Leela and Fry in FUTURAMA - Season 7A - "A Farewell to Arms" | Futurama TM and ©2012 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. All Rights Reserved

Stars (voices): Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Phil LaMarr, Lauren Tom, Dave Herman Writer: Josh Weinstein Director: Raymie Muzquiz Network: Comedy Central, Wednesday nights Airdate: June 21, 2012 The second half of the FUTURAMA Season 7A premiere is even better and funnier than “The Bots and the Bees.” Taking its cues from big disaster and end-of-the-world type of movies, the film parodies all the tropes that come with those types of films. The episode begins with weird weather patterns and results in Fry inadvertently discovering an ancient “Mayan” temple underneath the earth. What they […]Read On »

Stars: Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Joe Morton, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston, Niall Matter, Kavan Smith, Felicia Day, Wil Wheaton Writer: Jaime Paglia Director: Matt Hastings Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 8 PM Airdate: April 16, 2011 There are so many things to love about EUREKA that it’s kind of bittersweet that “Lost” is actually the Season 5 premiere of the final season. Here is a show that celebrates genius and being smart, but also respects each character’s gifts. It is one of the most diverse shows on television, with two African Americans in prominent roles as scientists, including one woman. And women here are just […]Read On »

TV Review: FUTURAMA – Season 6B – “Silence of the Clamps”

Voices: Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche Writer: Eric Rogers Director: Frank Marino Network: Comedy Central, airs Thursdays Original Telecast: July 14, 2011 Now that was pretty bad. FUTURAMA has been very good this year – particularly last week’s “Law & Oracle” episode, but this week, the show sunk to a surprising low. “Silence of the Clamps” is a complete mess, repeating many themes and story strands from the earlier part of the season and barely providing any actual jokes in the process. When Planet Express has to deliver a package (robot clamps) to a […]Read On »

Verrone Director:  Ray Claffey Network: Comedy Central, airs Thursdays Original Telecast:  June 30, 2011 After last week’s exceptional “Benderama” episode of FUTURAMA which featured none other than Bender becoming a super-being, this week finds Bender committing suicide (or was he murdered) and ends up a ghost that haunts the machines at Planet Express in order to murder Fry. It all starts when Fry saves the life of a human over a robot during a parade mishap. Fry believes human life is more precious than robot […]Read On »

When the Professor builds a contraption that can take one item and produce two similar, smaller items, it suddenly falls into Bender’s hands and a whole sub-race of lazy Bender’s slowly start to take over the world when they multiply on top of multiplying. Eventually they become the […]Read On »

Stewart Burns Director:  Edmund Fong Network: Comedy Central, airs Thursdays Original Telecast:  June 23, 2011 After the gender-bending episode of Season 6A “The Prisoner of Benda” which allowed the Planet Express crew of FUTURAMA to switch brains, the Season 6B premiere of the Comedy Central series takes things one step further with gender re-assignment for the entire cast of characters. “Neutopia” begins with Planet Express broke and no money to keep their operation going. Eventually they decide to start their own airline to save their jobs. […]Read On »
