Production
On 8 November 2011, Eric Rogers revealed that this was the day of the table read of the episode,[3] that the episode had been co-written by him[3] and that the episode would air August 2012,[1] also saying, "Different kind of story this time, but funny as ever!"[3] On 11 November 2011, Phil LaMarr revealed that this was the day of the recording of the episode.[4] On 29 February 2012, CGEF revealed the episode's title, its other writers to be Michael Saikin and Neil Mukhopadhyay and its director to be Crystal Chesney-Thompson.[5][6] On 31 May 2012, the website Zap2it published an article in which Matt Groening revealed that "[that] year [the production team was] calling [their] little trilogy the 'Saturday Morning Fun Pit'" [7] - suggesting that "Naturama" had been renamed. On 10 July, MSN TV updated their Futurama episode guide, revealing the episode's plot.[2] The same day, Zap2it released a TV listing of Futurama which showed the same information about the episode.[8]
On 12 July, following the broadcast of the episode "Zapp Dingbat", the public were given the opportunity to participate in a live chat with the Futurama cast and crew. Several clips of "Naturama" were shown during the live stream.[9]
