Move along people, there's nothing to see here. A few weeks ago, word emerged that the triumphant return of Matt Groening's and David X. Cohen's prematurely canceled TV series "Futurama" might be marred by the departure of the original voice cast. These people, who were responsible for making the initial five seasons -- and subsequent direct-to-video movies -- so enjoyable, were to be shoved aside in favor of cheaper voice talents. To quote the great huckster Vizzini, "inconceivable!"

Story: After an enjoyable two-episode airing to kick off the long-awaited sixth season, "Futurama" was back last night with a strangely prophetic episode commenting on the rise of social networking. Dear, old Mom is still up to her megalomaniacal plottings. This time, she's concocted a grand scheme to control consumers with a fancy new gadget: the EyePhone. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter... they're all present, accounted for and poked fun at as a story involving a "who can get the most followers" contest between Fry and Bender emerges.
