[edit] Correcting Template

I've been trying to figure out how to fix this on my own for awhile but have been unsuccessful, maybe someone here could help? The link for all Season 2 Infoboxes goes to Lesser of Two Evils whereas we obviously would prefer Lesser of Two Evils (Futurama) Could anyone fix this or instruct me in doing so?

Nevermind, finally figured it out on my own. Once I finally found the right page it was so easy. Stardust8212 00:34, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You are missing something

This template is missing a basic fact: where were the episodes in the infobox shown? This is a world encyclopaedia. Infoboxes on programmes shown in a country need to state that. Futurama is also shown in Europe and Asia. It is at best confusing to some readers not to state where one is talking about. At worst, it creates the impression that Wikipedia is americocentric; i.e., America is do dominant on WP that it is the default and doesn't have to be said. Please ensure boxes state where the details, the broadcast details, etc refer to. FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 22:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remove the Season's episodes from the infobox.

Since the articles already all have preceding and following episodes, this huge chunk of the infobox is not necessary, and should be removed. -- Digital Watches! 20:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
