Talk:Episode Listing (broadcast order)

why are they airing itwgy before Bender's Game? stupid!--My leg feels funny! 21:38, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. But apparently so are they doing.  Here is the press release.  I inspected the numbering for the episodes from the films, they are apparently a season each, which further increases the silliness.  I was looking forward to a beauty scenario, where the entire production season would make the broadcast season.  Oh, how a fool I was! --SvipTalk 21:49, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hm, apparently, scrap the press release, their schedule seems to indicate they have revised their position and are airing them in the correct order as one broadcast season. --SvipTalk 15:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * well that is a relief!--My leg feels funny! 21:43, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Season 6 or season 7?

 * Continuing from Talk:Season 5.

I think this talk page would be most appropriate. Personally, I think we should make a decision quickly. Let me sum it up for those not in the know:

Comedy Central considers the first broadcast season of season 6 to be broadcast season 6. We consider that to be season 5. Indeed, Comedy Central seems to not label the airings of season 5 as a broadcast season: it appears in its scheduling as 'season 0'.

However, I do not think season 0 is their actual name for it, I think it is just what the label things 'out of seasons'. So we have two options:

A. Stay the course (ignore Comedy Central's labellings and continue with our current method).

B. Shift broadcast season 7 and 8 to 6 and 7 respectively. Rename the broadcast season of season 5 to something appropriate (e.g. 'film season').

If we pick B, we still have some other decisions to make:


 * 1) What should we rename season 5's broadcast season to?
 * 2) Should we just remove it entirely (even though it did air)?

Let the debate commence! --Sviptalk 13:33, 26 June 2010 (CEST)
 * I vote B with the heading "2008 - 2009 specials". (And I'll note that we'll probably end up moving the other part of 6ACV into 6 later on)


 * I am going for A, however, as the entire web seems to be agreeing on calling it "season 7". Too much consensus for my liking. --Sviptalk 02:49, 27 June 2010 (CEST)


 * Actually, change that to 'dunno'. I am sure B makes the most sense, and reviewers are even referring to it as 'season 6', now that I look around.  But searching for 'futurama season 7' does yield a lot of results. --Sviptalk 14:29, 27 June 2010 (CEST)


 * Also, check this debate out on Wikipedia on the matter. --Sviptalk 02:51, 27 June 2010 (CEST)
 * I'm not sure I understand B. I think that's my vote. I think it should be Season 6, as so far this wiki has gone with the production season.-Not awedfrgt
 * We are discussing what broadcast season to treat season 6 as. Right now, we are treating it as broadcast season 7 and 8.  We do this, because they are technically the 7th and 8th broadcast seasons aired.  However, some people will argue that season 5 (the films split up) was not a broadcast season, as it was just airing each film on the same day without much difference than watching the films themselves; so they were more like 'specials'.
 * In short, we are discussing which route we should take. --Sviptalk 12:10, 27 June 2010 (CEST)
 * Perhaps both? We put on the film section a note that it has aired as both season 6 and 0 (special episodes) and then list this as 6 and indicate (as far as we know) CC has simply switched to production numbers only for 6ACV onwards.
