Going by the numbers listed to the side of episode name, it appears that FOX isn't showing is any sort of order. Why?

FOX

Because they feel like it. They have been doing that for years now.

The same policy extends to other shows, as well. "Simpsons" episodes are often aired out of order. Sometimes, a particularly audience-grabbing show will be held until a sweeps period. I'm not sure why Fox is mixing up the order now, but it doesn't really matter since "Futurama" isn't really a serial-type show.

It kinda used to be. Remember in the first two production runs there would be points in the show that sinc up with real time. Like the clock at the end of "Xmas Story". And some other stuff too.

end

Although that doesn't make it sereal. It just makes it have to be run at the right time. and or date.
