Episode List

The 'Episode List' section of this page is very confusing to read. It also doesn't take into account the season layout on Disney Plus.

On the wiki currently, it states that we are on Season 8. But on Disney Plus, it says we are on season 11.

So what information is accurate? Dr. A. McBrandy (talk) 06:26, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See List of Futurama Episodes. We list the episodes in the season order intended by the people who made the show, not the people who air it. DonIago (talk) 07:18, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

8th or 9th production season

Another user thought the same thing I previously though about it being the 9th production season. Found out this WGA article wasn't accurate though.[1]. I am now inclined to believe it is still in the 8th season.Speakfor23 (talk) 18:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no question that it is a ninth production season. The production code at the end of the most recent episode explictly identifies it as being from the 9ACVxx production line. Riggleby (talk) 19:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is one user falsely claiming that Wikipedia limits the listing for distributors?

There are in fact many television which are similar and not so limited. The Cops page is one example.2601:449:4582:B3C0:6818:CFB2:D1C6:D0A6 (talk) 09:41, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "Company" field is for production companies only, not distributors. The Distributor field is no longer included in the infobox. Barry Wom (talk) 10:16, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Distributor parameter was previously used for the companies that distributed in syndication. TPalkovitz (talk) 07:48, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your statement. The user is claiming that "studios are not production companies" but there is no such saying in the infobox guidelines. TPalkovitz (talk) 19:47, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
