I’ve searched everywhere, dug through the megathread. Cannot find anything on Futurama s8-10. Any help ?

    Seasons 6 and 7 were split into two halves for airing. This led to some sources claiming that each half was a separate series.

    The same problem happened with the first four seasons (the OG ones). They were split up and episodes were aired out of order, so some sources claim that there are five seasons. It’s really, really annoying if you want to watch the episodes in order and Plex has decided that “fuck you no, there are five seasons of random lengths” >_<

      I think it’s a different story with the original seasons. The intended version was 4 seasons, but Fox being Fox aired the episodes out of order, ending whenever they wanted and that’s how 5 seasons came to be.

      One might try to call it artistic privilege, but I don’t think it holds when you’re responsible only for distribution and not making.

      I use MediaTracker which takes information form imdb and tmdb and it labels it as following:

      • original series (seasons 1-5)
      • Comedy Central (seasons 6 and 7)
      • Hulu (season 8) with season 0 (specials) containing movies like Bender’s Big Score
