What better way to celebrate the return of the autocrats of the countdown than Character designs? Because you'll get them regardless.

She’ll be featured in the season premiere, “The Bots and the Bees,” and while I can’t tell you too much about the character at this point, I can tell you that the rumor I just started that she’ll be voiced by Pippa Middleton is completely untrue. You should know better than to believe such unfounded codswallop. Bev’s voice is in fact provided by the one and only Wanda Sykes![/QUOTE] Damn it! I was so certain that rumor was true! *sigh* Oh well. At least we now who the mother is.

Get your shit together Groening, you never approve things!
I bet he secretly disapproves of the entire series.
50 days is far too long for a count down, for something like this. I'd prefer a 10 day count-down myself.
yeah, a countdown at all is really really ridiculous and almost nobody even seems to care and rightly so

My gods, this season looks awesome just from the updates alone. Prometheus spoof, 2012, and Bender's son, from the looks of it?

I'm looking forward to the new series and I like the countdowns. It's a bit annoying how the videos on the CN website are blocked in my country though.
I dislike the countdown for the same reason I dislike previews of the next episode. I enjoy it more not knowing what is going to happen.
Well, it's a tradition. One of the whopping [B]Two[/B] that I even care about (the other one being Mayday).

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.

When do the new episodes start airing?
20th June.
that's a million years away this countdown is really pointless
.. i like it
Is complaining about the countdown the only thing you're planning on doing, Rusty? You could always just, you known, ignore it.
