"The Tip of the Zoidberg" is the one-hundred-and-sixth episode of Futurama, the eighteenth of the sixth production season and the tenth of the eighth broadcast season. It is scheduled to air 18 August, 2011 on Comedy Central. The crew uncovers a dark secret concerning a covert mission undertaken by the Professor and Dr. Zoidberg many years earlier.[1]
Production
While originally known as "Nine-tenths of a Zoidberg is Underwater", the episode title changed in the process.
During June 2011, Countdown to Futurama released two items of promotional material for the episode: concept art of Triton Base Camp on 3 June and part of the storyboard showing a young Professor Farnsworth and Zoidberg on a Yeti-hunting trip on 4 June.
