The Silence of the Clamps

"The Silence of the Clamps", originally titled "Bend on a Wire", is the one hundred and second episode of Futurama, the fourteenth of the sixth production season and the first of the eighth broadcast season. Seeing as "The Futurama Holiday Spectacular" is broadcast between the two seasons as a holiday special, "The Silence of the Clamps" could be considered the season premiere. It is scheduled to air on 23 June 2011.

Story
Bender witnesses a crime committed by the Robot Mafia and has to go into witness protection.

Production
Maurice LaMarche revealed in an update online that this episode will have a large focus on Clamps, indeed his great break through episode. Episode writer Eric Rogers has also said, on his Twitter page, that "6ACV14 is directed by Frank Marino, not Ray Claffey".
