By its series finale, “Futurama” will have logged 140 episodes during its run.

'Futurama' to end seven-season run on Sept. 4 -- Exclusive
22 April 2013 7:16 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
The Planet Express ship will soon make its final delivery.
Comedy Central has decided not to renew Futurama, which means that the 31st-century-set animated comedy will end its 140-episode run on Sept. 4. The final 13 episodes, which represent the second half of season 7, begin airing on June 19 at 10 p.m.
Futurama is no stranger to cancellation, of course: The series aired from 1999 to 2003 before Fox sent Fry & Co. into oblivion. After thriving in reruns on Adult Swim, Futurama was relaunched in 2007 with four-direct-to-dvd movies that Comedy Central ran in half-hour increments as a 16-episode fifth season in 2008-09.

TV on Tap: Kristin Chenoweth Would Return to "The Good Wife," Seth Green Moves in with Fox's "Dads" and "Cougar Town" Gets a Fifth Season

Go On books a table for a Friends reunion.

In talking with The Hollywood Reporter Kristin Chenoweth discusses the injury she suffered while working on The Good Wife, expressing frustration that the injury stopped her from completing her story arc and saying she'd return to the show if given the chance.
The storytelling on The Walking Dead has more than its share of problems, but the Av Club says the zombie drama succeeds by being one of the few shows that's a memento mori, a drama that functions as a stark reminder of the inevitability of death.
TVLine reports that Marina Sirtis, the former Councilor Troi, has joined NCIS as the new director of the Mossad (the last one died a few months back).
I was getting a bit worried about the future of Cougar Town since ratings have been good but not spectacular, but TBS has ordered a »

Do the Homer Shake: 'The Simpsons' does the Harlem Shake
1 March 2013 2:14 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The Harlem Shake. It's everywhere these days. Apparently, the strange dance-video phenomenon is so popular that it has crossed over to the animated world. Thus we now have the characters of "The Simpsons" doing the Harlem Shake.
Or, to be more specific, they're doing the "Homer Shake."
Unlike most videos of this particular meme, "The Simpsons" actually provided a new soundtrack for its version. The voice of Homer Simpson (presumably from Dan Castellaneta) supplies the vocals, which have a distinct "Doh!" tone to them.
The Homer Shake begins, as most Harlem Shake videos do, with a single dancing character in a mask -- in this case it's Maggie Simpson (pacifier and all). She is soon joined by her family in various stages of dancing dress and undress (naked Homer anyone?).
And then we get a whole bunch of dancing "Simpsons" characters. We're talking about a couple dozen of the most popular characters out there. »

Wendell & Vinnie TV Review
15 February 2013 11:41 AM, PST | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
If you’re among the many fans who were heartbroken at the news that iCarly was ending, you’re first break from grieving hits Nick at Nite tomorrow at 8/7c (your second comes at a future date when Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande move to the dual spin-off Sam and Cat).
Hitting the absolute center of the blurry line between Nick and Nick at Nite, Wendell & Vinnie is (in some official, technical sense) reportedly an airing of Nick at Nite, celebrated on the homepage of nickatnite.com, but when you click through to the show’s homepage, you find yourself at nick.com/shows/wendell-and-vinnie.
There’s a certain sense to that, not just because of the timeslot, but because the show itself (insofar as original programming goes) does make it somewhat tricky to point to exactly where Nick at Nite begins and Nick ends. This probably makes even more »
