8/24 - DOUBLE FEATURE
7:00 - Less Than Hero (4ACV04)
Fry, Leela, and Bender become a trio of superheroes after some
"miracle cream" from Dr. Zoidberg give Fry and Leela superpowers
7:30 - The Why of Fry (4ACV10)
The Nibblonians need Fry to save the universe, in part because
Fry has some sort of immunity to brain attacks (which has
something to do with Fry being his own grandfather), but when Fry
discovers that Nibbler was involved with Fry getting stuck in the
cryogenic chamber back in 2000, which side will Fry take?
8/31 - ANOTHER DOUBLE FEATURE
7:00 - A Taste of Freedom (4ACV05)
Zoidberg celebrates Freedom Day by eating an Earth flag, which
ends up with Zoidberg's planet and Earth getting into a war
7:30 - The Sting (4ACV12)
A giant space wasp attacks Fry with its lethal stinger, but Leela
refuses to believe that Fry is really dead because of it
9/7 - PRE-EMPTED in the Eastern and Central time zones by the return
of The NFL On FOX; the west will get "The Farnsworth Parabox"
(Professor Farnsworth creates a gateway to a parallel universe)
It's already been aired twice (although the second time was to the western USA only), so I doubt Fox will air it again - I suggest waiting until Cartoon Network starts showing the season 5 episodes.
Yes, they have. CN has aired every Futurama episode that Fox aired in the first 'four' seasons. They cannot air the episodes Fox is showing as the 'fifth' season until November, but they have aired all the others.
Support Futurama Comics - it's the main source of new Futurama stories these days.
Fah! Those yutzes at Fox pulled "A Taste of Freedom" from this Sunday- so no double feature. Airing in it's place is "What's in the Fox Box" essentially a preview of this fall's saturday morning programming.
Really burns me..."Freedom" is the only episode I haven't seen yet. I'd sure love to tell them what's in their "Fox Box."

Curiously, WTVT-13 pre-empted Fox's pre-emption and showed an episode of "King of the Hill" instead. (Either the one where Connie's cousin visits, or the one where Khan loses his job -- I forget which.)

The "Fox Box" special was also bumped for a KOTH rerun on WDAF-4 Kansas City (where I caught the repeat of "The Sting") as well as Omaha's KPTM-42 which reran one of the "Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror" eps. This is a common practice with Fox stations which opt to air alternate programming in place of the regular Fox Kids lineup.
WDAF (and apparently WTVT-13) were New World-owned stations affected by Fox's efforts a few years back to upgrade to stronger VHF signals in a few cities while the former Fox stations get CBS/NBC/ABC in its place, on UHF, but their willingness to go with Fox didn't extend to dropping news or whatever for Saturday Morning kids' fare, so the Fox Box shows (and the preview special via delayed broadcast) will often go to another station in the same market, such as the WB station in Omaha or the independent "38 The Spot" in K.C.
