DVD Planet lists "Futurama: Bender's Big Score", the first of the four new DVDs planned, as being released on November 27 (why, yes, that is the day after Thanksgiving when everybody and their mother are out Christmas shopping - how about that?).

Actually, November 27 falls on a Tuesday this year.

Which is interesting since Tuesday is traditionally the day to release new records (and obviously in more recent years, CDs and then DVDs). Beat the weekend crush, and yet not right at the beginning of the week.

It's movies that see a different opening day. Since if they think it may open big and/or it's opening near a holiday, they open it on Wednesday to get the holiday crowd.

And 11/27 is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, so most of the people who do their Christmas shopping on 11/23 won't be aware of its existance...

Good, since it's a myth that the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest of the year and only morons do their shopping on this day. The truly retarded are the ones who line up before 6 AM at the mall.

Are these *new* episodes??? Or are they repackagings of the existing ones?

Or, at least as "new" as Al Gore jokes can qualify.

Oh PLEASE tell me All Gore isn't in them... As much as I, um, don't hate Al Gore, he's about the unfunniest thing ever. Hell, Al Gore is unfunnier than the freaking holocaust.

The skit he did on SNL... a bit sad considering the current state of affairs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYuqoKxRhMg

No, not that Gore *himself* (in obligatory celebrity cameo) is not funny, per se-- It's anachronistically 90's-stuck jokes with the word "Internet" in them that are claw-your-eyes-out unfunny....Remember, the messenger, not the message.

(But, since Groening series tend to bend over and kiss their celebrity cameos, it'll probably end up being more global-warming jokes.)

Yeah, him sharing political views with Matt Groening, and one of his daughters being a writer for the show had nothing to do with it . . .

References to the 90's in a show made in the 90's; next you'll wonder about all those obvious 60's references in Star Trek! Maybe you just need a clue as to how science fiction works . . .

One of the biggest, if not the biggest issue of our time, how *dare* they mention it!

Oho! So that's why he's been in the show a few times.

I've got nothing against Al Gore personally, but I just don't think he's in any way funny. In fact, he's sort of a humor-sink, sucking all the humor out of a sphere 30 yards in radius with himself at the center.

No, actually not. The first time he was on the show was before his daughter got a job there. There is a comment about it in one of the audio commentaries. Crimes of the Hot if my memory serves me. Someone correct me if it doesn't! :-)

Well, it wasn't a good idea, IMO. He just seems incredibly dull in the Futurama episodes in which he appears. Again, that's nothing personal against him. Does anyone else feel this way about his Futurama appearances, or is it just me?

To have someone dull on the show? What for?

Thank you, that's one of the funniest quotes I've ever heard!

As a matter of fact, I did! I'll have to youtube them tonight. Maybe I'll have to revise my opinion of him. I saw a funny skit in which an actor played him on SNL, but I never knew he actually made appearances on the show.
