If you are like me, you were wondering where the heck the TV show Futurama got to this season. Here’s a note from the TV show’s co-creator, David X. Cohen, which will explain everything:

Futurama’s ridiculously late season premiere will be Sunday, Dec. 9th at 7 PM (6 PM Central/Mountain) on Fox. The episode is “Roswell that Ends Well”, in which the crew accidentally travels back through time and crash lands in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. It’s our first time travel episode, unless you count Fry freezing his way through a thousand years. The episode turned out great, I think — it’s definitely one of my favorites so far.

Here’s the full letter (don’t know how permanent this link is).
