FUTURAMA
Comedy Central, 10:00 p.m. ET
SERIES RETURN: There hasn’t been a new episode of Futurama since last August, and it’s not clear whether these last-gasp fresh episodes, running until September, are a new final season or the final episodes of Season 7. Either way, it’s another example of how resilient and underappreciated this series has been, since it’s taken 14 years to clock seven seasons of shows – the TV equivalent of dog years. But Matt Groening and company’s other animated gem, this sci-fi Simpsons sibling, returns tonight with two new episodes: “2-D Blacktop” and “Fry and Leela’s Big Fling.” They’re both movie-franchise spoofs, of Fast & Furious and Planet of the Apes, respectively. And they’re both worth watching.
