Today, we get another look at “The Thief of Baghead” with this still image of Bender as a tourist. The crazy thing about robot tourists? Their least annoying quality is their desire to kill all humans.

Most people have heard of cat burglars, but very few have heard of lobster burglars. Fortunately, Futurama will raise public awareness in it’s upcoming episode titled “The Thief of Baghead.”

Today’s Countdown features the character design for Professor Farnsworth and Zoidberg dressed up as thieves in the night. So we know for sure that the fourth episode of the season will feature crime! And nudity! I have no reason to believe it features nudity other than wishful thinking.

As you probably know, today is Morrisey’s 53rd birthday. And as you also probably know, there’s nothing the old rapscallion loves more than cartoons with sass-talking robots (what did you think “Girlfriend in a Coma” was about?)

With that in mind, here’s a clip of Bender trying to take a group photo of the Planet Express crew from “The Thief of Baghead,” the fourth episode of the upcoming season of Futurama:

Today’s installment of our Countdown is a storyboard from “The Thief of Baghead” featuring the return of Bender’s favorite TV show, All My Circuits.

For those of you who’ve never seen a robot soap opera before, it’s basically like a human soap opera, except the actors are a little more lifelike.

So far we know “The Thief of Baghead” features a Mushroom Dog, paparazzi and zombies, and now we can reveal this character design for some guy named Langdon Cobb. Still no clues as to why the episode is called “The Thief of Baghead” though. It’s mystery wrapped in a riddle inside a bag!

Today we get some more images from the new season’s fourth episode, “The Thief of Baghead.” We’ve got a still of some human husks and a sketch of Amy and Fry as zombies, so obviously they’re doing some kind of a Downton Abbey homage with this episode.

We’re 18 days into our 50-day Countdown to Futurama, and so far we’ve seen a bunch of cool stuff from the upcoming season’s first three episodes, but today we get our first look at the fourth episode. It’s called “The Thief of Baghead” and finds Bender joining the paparazzi and attempting to photograph a famous actor whose face has never been seen.

Pictured in this character design and storyboard from the episode is what I’m told is a “Mushroom Dog.” I know what you’re thinking, and no, this Mushroom Dog bears no relation to the jam band of the same name. They were great at HORDE Fest 97 though.

With the exception of poison and pan-flute solos, twice as much is always better. With that in mind, today’s Countdown installment features a double-dose of storyboards from the upcoming episode “Decision 3012.”

We recommend users under 65lbs wait at least six hours before consuming the second one.

Today’s item is another still from the upcoming season’s third episode, “Decision 3012.” You might find this kind of thing funny, but after the way my Roomba’s been looking at me lately, I have a hard time taking it quite so lightly.
