Futurama

Well Futurama is back and we can all thank whatever belief system we have that it is.  This is a nice episode.  Bender is murdered by a suicide machine as he tried to committ suicide because Frye didn't value robot life.  Now a ghost (not a gh-gh-ghost) he makes a deal with Robot Devil to scare Frye to death.  In the end of course he couldn't do it, and everything works out after a showdown on the Amish homeworld. 

Right after, they had the start of the new season of Ugly Americans.  It becomes a romp in the woods as the devils make a faux summer camp to fool Mark to betraying all the Wizards.  Meanwhile his zombie roommate finds silver and shang hai's the rest of the crew for a bit of mining.  It all goes badly for everyone and a lesson is learned by no one.  There's a nice shot at Harry Potter, and a disturbing look at the life of bears.

All in all, a good night on Comedy Central.
