For some of our favourite TV characters, the idiot box can be as funny, fascinating or infuriating as it is for us. You might find this unsurprising; after all, why should they be able to escape the omnipresent giant eye glowing in the corner of their living room? You might find this strangely reassuring, knowing that they also spend their days obsessively staring at a screen practically validates your own pitiful existence, doesn’t it? Or you might feel another meta-induced migraine coming on, wondering how on earth you’re going to manage keeping up with the intricate (and at times intertwining) storylines of two shows at the same time.
Some programmes find that a show within a show gives them the perfect excuse to laugh at themselves. Others, and especially comedies with a slight superiority complex, use them only to cock a snook at their crude, clichéd and catchphrase-based counterparts (please note,...

Gotcha! Not only is Futurama alive and well and gearing up for its new season on Comedy Central, but Matt Groening has released the first official image of the Planet Express crew!
Or at least, what's left of them.
When last we saw our favorite animated sci-fi heroes, the crew was headed for an uncertain future in a deep wormhole at the conclusion of Futurama's fourth straight-to-dvd effort Into the Wild Green Yonder, having just killed "The Dark One" and restored balance to the universe.
Must have been a bumpy re-entry, because it seems like Fry and Professor Farnsworth are the only survivors of the disaster, and we don't even wanna think about the state of our favorite electric-mucus green rocket ship.
