TV
The first episode of the second production season of Futurama was first seen on television on 21 November 1999 and ranked itself as the fifth episode in the second transmission season one. This had the Fox started in the previous month with the last four previously unreleased episodes of the first production season, after he had the charisma interrupted prematurely after nine out of thirteen episodes.
As a result, Fox Futurama radiated Sundays. In three cases, the broadcast slots of successive episodes were exchanged. This was achieved, for example, that the broadcast date of the episode Valentine's Day 3000 fell right before Valentine's Day.
In addition, the broadcast has been characterized by several, partly weeks of interruptions. For example, the program was after the Christmas episode Xmas Story, which was shown on 19 December 1999 and continued until early February. In March, only one episode was shown.
After a total of twenty episodes of the first broadcasts of the second transmission season ended on 21 May 2000 with stories of interest I, so that three episodes of the second season production fell in the third transmission season. They were shown between 5 November and 3 December 2000 at the television.
