"Cold Warriors" is the one-hundred-and-twelfth episode of Futurama, the twenty-fourth of the sixth production season and the eleventh of the eighth broadcast season. It is scheduled to air 25 August, 2011 on Comedy Central. Fry's sneezing reintroduces the common cold to the world of the future, with devastating consequences.[1]
Production
During June 2011, Countdown to Futurama released two items of promotional material for the episode: concept art of a guinea pig in a spacesuit with a tiny USA flag on 5 June and part of the storyboard showing Leela engaged in a broom fight on 6 June.
Two promotional pictures for the episode were released by Comedy Central Press.[2]
On 24 August, Comedy Central released a video clip featuring the Planet Express crew being put under quarantine.[3]

Additional Info
Trivia
- This episode's storyline is similar to that of the comic book "The Cure for the Common Clod". Writer Eric Rogers has commented on this via Twitter, writing that "[t]hey are different stories".[4]
- This is one of four episodes of broadcast season 8 to be broadcast in production order. The other three are "Fry am the Egg Man", "Overclockwise" and "Reincarnation".
- If one was to consider each of the movies as one episode rather than four, then "Cold Warriors" could technically be considered the 100th episode, rather than "The Mutants Are Revolting".
Allusions
- The title of the episode is a reference to the cold warriors and the common cold.
Continuity
- Even though Smitty retired in Law and Oracle, he somehow returned to the force in this episode.
