Comedy Central’s EVP of Programming Dave Bernath views the network’s decision as “the natural end” to the show’s improbable comeback. “That’s a helluva run that few shows achieve, and especially given the fact that it came back to life, it’s really an amazing story,” he says. “I’m more thankful and feel a sense of gratitude toward the whole process — and that we found a way to keep going for 52 more episodes — than I really am even thinking about the ending. It’s a blessing that it came back and lasted so long.”

Countdown to Futurama: Bev Character Design

Meet Bev the vending machine. She’ll be featured in the season premiere, “The Bots and the Bees,” and while I can’t tell you too much about the character at this point, I can tell you that the rumor I just started that she’ll be voiced by Pippa Middleton is completely untrue. You should know better than to believe such unfounded codswallop.

For those too young to remember, Eddie Murphy once starred as the lead voice in a stop-motion animation program on Fox called The PJ’s. It was a comedy (sort of) about life in the projects that ran from 1999 to 2001. Anyway, check out the reference in this screen grab. Look really carefully at that milk carton.

Holy Shit.  HOLY SHIT.

Not sure if easter egg.
