First on March 3rd at 7:00pm (ET):

When Amy brings her most recent boyfriend, Kif, home to meet the family, trouble ensues when Amy's parents fear that Kif cannot provide many grandchildren. Amy's parents, who own half of Mars and made a fortune off raising buggalo -- an alien version of cattle -- set out to break-up the relationship. When an entire herd of buggalo suddenly disappear, Kif offers to go after the rustlers and enlists the help of Professor, Zapp Brannigan, Fry, Leela, Hermes and Bender. Back at the homestead, Amy's parents make some interesting discoveries in the FUTURAMA episode"Where the Buggalo Roam" Sunday, March 3

Then on March 7th at 9:30pm (ET):

When the Planet Express crew lands on a previously undiscovered plant, they find that it is covered in a new and delicious animal life form which they call "popplers". These edible and highly addictive "popplers" soon become a new business venture for the crew as Earthlings just can't seem to get enough of these delicacies. The dreaded Omnicrons reveal just what these"popplers" actually are, and seek restitution for Earth's "poppler" consumption on FUTURAMA episode "The Problem with Popplers" Thursday, March 7

It seems that FOX is starting a second night of animation (too little, too late) on Thursday with an hour of Family Guy, and King of the Hill/Futurama repeats.

They keep trying to push for that Thursday night line up of animation, don't they? I thought they cancelled Family Guy, tho. If they were to extend their animation block, it should take over X Files slot on Sunday night.

Family Guy is cancelled, but they're likely running out episodes over the rest of the season. It would be nice to see all Sunday be all animation, but I'd be content with something aside from sci-fi at 9.

I think we should start making news posts hyping Fox animated Thursdays and Sundays. Got to get people to watch the last of Family Guy and Futurama.

Right you are! The awful time slots for such animated gold is practically criminal. If more people were aware of these shows, then they might grow on them.

I totally agree. They'd be hits! I really want to see Futurama get a better slot. Hell, give it the Simpsons slot for a couple weeks. I gaurentee it'll flourish there.
